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

Chemistry
1 answer:
wlad13 [49]3 years ago
7 0
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.

´ Identify the independent, dependent, and controlled variables in your experiment which is how does adding salt affect the free
Margaret [11]
<span>An independent variable is a variable that is not affected in the experiment. It is what experimenter controls. Here, the concentration of salt is the independent variable.
On the other side, a dependent variable is called dependent because it depends on the independent variables. It is what is affected and observed during the experiment. Here, the freezing point of water is affected and, thus, it is the dependent variable.
A controlled variable is a variable that must remain unchanged (must be constant) during the experiment so that the effect on the dependent variable depends only on the independent variable. Here, the volume of water must be constant, so it is the controlled variable.

If 2.29 kg of hydrazine are used in a rocket engine and 3.14 kg of oxygen are available for reaction,
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation:

Reaction of hydrazine is

N2H4 + O2 --> N2 + 2H2O

Mass of hydrazine mole = 14x2 + 1x4 = 32g/Mol

Mass of O2 mole = 16x2 = 32g/Mol

Number of moles in 2.29kg of hydrazine

2290/32=71.56Moles

1mol of hydrazine required to react with 1mol of O2

Amount of O2 required to react with hydrazine

71.56*32=2290

Required O2 amount is exactly the same.

Therefore limiting reactant is hydrazine and excess of 850g of O2 will be in excess.
