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.

What mass of bromine reacts with 16.2 g of aluminium?
Goshia [24]
For every, 3 Br- ions, 1 Al3+ ion reacts to form AlBr3.

Convert 16.2g of aluminum to moles:

16.2g Al / 27.0g per mol = 0.60 mols.

Based on the above ratio, 0.60 mols of Al will react with 1.8 mols of Br.

Convert 1.8 mols of Br to its mass:

1.8 mols Br × 79.9g per mol = 143.82g of Br.
