Explain why desert soils tend to be rich in minerals but poor in topsoil

Chemistry
1 answer:
wlad13 [49]3 years ago

Desert soil has poor topsoil and hardly any organic material in it.

This is because regularly watered soil provides the perfect environment for certain bacteria, bugs and other organisms to grow which in turn provide quality topsoil.

In a desert with very little rain, the perfect environment is never produced, which results in a lot of minerals but poor topsoil for any quality agriculture to take place.

A cell in the leaf of a corn plant contains more chloroplasts than a cell in the stem of a corn plant. Based on this observation
Alik [6]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A). synthesizes more sugar

B). has a higher chromosome count

C). produces fewer proteins

D). uses less carbon dioxide

The answer is A

Explanation:

The chloroplast is an organelle present in the cells of photosynthetic organisms. It is the site where photosynthesis, which is the production of food (sugars) from sunlight energy, occurs.

According to this question, a cell in the leaf of a corn plant contains more chloroplasts than a cell in the stem of the same corn plant. Based on this observation, it can be inferred that the LEAF CELLS WILL SYNTHESIZE MORE SUGARS THAN THE STEM CELL because the more the chloroplast, the higher the photosynthetic rate and subsequently the higher the amount of sugar produced.

The normal freezing point of water (H2O) is 0.00 oC and its Kf value is 1.86 oC/m. A nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte that dissolves
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

3.74g of ethylene glycol must be added to decrease the freezing point by 0.400°C

Explanation:

One colligative property is the freezing point depression due the addition of a solute. The equation is:

ΔT=Kf*m*i

<em>Where ΔT is change in temperature = 0.400°C</em>

<em>Kf is freezing point constant of the solvent = 1.86°C/m</em>

<em>m is molality of the solution (Moles of solute / kg of solvent)</em>

<em>And i is Van't Hoff constant (1 for a nonelectrolyte)</em>

Replacing:

0.400°C =1.86°C/m*m*1

0.400°C / 1.86°C/m*1 = 0.215m

As mass of solvent is 280.0g = 0.2800kg, the moles of the solute are:

0.2800kg * (0.215moles / 1kg) = 0.0602 moles of solute must be added.

The mass of ethylene glycol must be added is:

0.0602 moles * (62.10g / mol) =

3.74g of ethylene glycol must be added to decrease the freezing point by 0.400°C
