Answer:

The mining wastes are known as tailings.

Explanation:

Tailings are the set of residues, a mixture of ground ore with water and other compounds, that remains from having extracted the minerals in the flotation process. These wastes are transported using gutters or pipes to generally authorized places, where the water is recovered or evaporated to be disposed as a layered deposit of fine materials.

The giant piles of mining waste called tailings. These wastes consists of ground rock and process effluents from a mining plant. These wastes are stored on a surface either in a facility or in the form of piles. Also, sometimes it is stored underground in areas that are mined out.

State the five the five basic assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory.
Ivan

Answer:

The primary assumptions are as follows:

Any gas is a collection of innumerable number of minuscule particles which are known as molecules according to Avogadro’s law.

There are no forces of attraction or repulsion among the particles or between the molecules and the surroundings.

The gas particles are always at straight, rapid, fast & random motion resulting in inevitable collisions with other particles and the surroundings that changes direction of motion.

Since the particle are spherical, solid and elastic the collisions involving them are elastic in nature as well i.e their kinetic energy is conserved even after collisions.

The total kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to the absolute temperature.

In some books two other assumptions are given as well:

1. The size or area of each particle is negligible compared to that of the container.

2. Pressure of gas is result of the continuous clash of the particles with the wall of the container.

or

The simplest kinetic model is based on the assumptions that: (1) the gas is composed of a large number of identical molecules moving in random directions, separated by distances that are large compared with their size; (2) the molecules undergo perfectly elastic collisions (no energy loss) with each other and with the walls of the container, but otherwise do not interact; and (3) the transfer of kinetic energy between molecules is heat. These simplifying assumptions bring the characteristics of gases within the range of mathematical treatment.

Such a model describes a perfect gas and is a reasonable approximation to a real gas, particularly in the limit of extreme dilution and high temperature. Such a simplified description, however, is not sufficiently precise to account for the behaviour of gases at high densities.

Based on the kinetic theory, pressure on the container walls can be quantitatively attributed to random collisions of molecules the average energy of which depends upon the gas temperature. The gas pressure can therefore be related directly to temperature and density. Many other gross properties of the gas can be derived, such as viscosity, thermal and electrical conductivity, diffusion, heat capacity, and mobility. In order to explain observed deviations from perfect gas behaviour, such as condensation, the assumptions must be appropriately modified. In doing so, considerable insight has been gained as to the nature of molecular dynamics and interactions.

9966 [12]

Answer:

im not sure but I hope this helps

Explanation:

I believe the equivalents is just the moles reactant/moles limiting reactant

water has a denisty of 1 g/mL. 1 L is 1000 ml so there are 1000g/L.

the molar mass of water is 18g/mol if you use the Liters in the equation above you can find the number of grams present. divide this number you found by 18 to find the moles.

now take the amount of the other reactant given and divide it by its own molar mass. this will give you the number of moles of that reactant.

divide the moles of water by the moles of the reactant and that is the equivalent.

to find the normality you take this number and divide it by the number of liters.
