What characteristic of rivers at their source gives them so much power to shape the land

1 answer:

8 0

River sources tend to be at the top of mountains or areas of high elevation. This means that rivers impact the entire terrain from mountains to seas and oceans.

I hope this Helps!

If a solution has a pOH of 8.71, what is the [H+]?

TEA [102]

Answer: $5.1\times 10^{-6}M$

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pH+pOH=14$

Putting in the values:

$pH=14-8.71=5.29$

$5.29=-log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=5.1\times 10^{-6}$

Thus $[H^+]$ is $5.1\times 10^{-6}M$

One kilogram of water at 100 0C is cooled reversibly to 15 0C. Compute the change in entropy. Specific heat of water is 4190 J/K

mina [271]

Answer:

The change in entropy is -1083.112 joules per kilogram-Kelvin.

Explanation:

If the water is cooled reversibly with no phase changes, then there is no entropy generation during the entire process. By the Second Law of Thermodynamics, we represent the change of entropy ( $s_{2} - s_{1}$ ), in joules per gram-Kelvin, by the following model:

$s_{2} - s_{1} = \int\limits^{T_{2}}_{T_{1}} {\frac{dQ}{T} }$

$s_{2} - s_{1} = m\cdot c_{w} \cdot \int\limits^{T_{2}}_{T_{1}} {\frac{dT}{T} }$

$s_{2} - s_{1} = m\cdot c_{w} \cdot \ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$ (1)

Where:

$m$ - Mass, in kilograms.

$c_{w}$ - Specific heat of water, in joules per kilogram-Kelvin.

$T_{1}$ , $T_{2}$ - Initial and final temperatures of water, in Kelvin.

If we know that $m = 1\,kg$ , $c_{w} = 4190\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K}$ , $T_{1} = 373.15\,K$ and $T_{2} = 288.15\,K$ , then the change in entropy for the entire process is:
