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.

You have 4.72x10^25 atoms of a substance with MW of 136.94 g/mol How many moles do you have
slega [8]

Number of moles = 78.41

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The mole is the number of particles(molecules, atoms, ions) contained in a substance  

1 mol = 6.02.10²³ particles

Can be formulated

N=n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = Avogadro's = 6.02.10²³

4.72 x 10²⁵ atoms of a substance, then moles :

\tt n=\dfrac{N}{No}\\\\n=\dfrac{4.72\times 10^{25}}{6.02\times 10^{23}}\\\\n=78.41

If 36.0 g of NaOH (MM = 40.00 g/mol) are added to a 500.0 mL volumetric flask, and water is added to fill the flask, what is the
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Molarity of NaOH = 1.8 M.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of NaOH = 36 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Volume = 500 mL

Molarity of NaOH =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 36 g of NaOH. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of NaOH = 36 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Mole of NaOH =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of NaOH = 36 / 40

Mole of NaOH = 0.9 mole

Next, we shall convert 500 mL to L. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore,

500 mL = 500 mL × 1 L / 1000 mL

500 mL = 0.5 L

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of NaOH. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of NaOH = 0.9 mole

Volume = 0.5 L

Molarity of NaOH =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity of NaOH = 0.9 / 0.5

Molarity of NaOH = 1.8 M
