Answer:

Explanation:

In the peak stage of a flood where it current is very high,there is much deposition of sediment dumped into the stream by mainly overland flow and gully erosion.This leads to huge sediment deposition on the stream bed.

As the flood 's current reduces,competence and capacity reduces and sediments are deposited.

The proton transfer reaction between Cyanide and water can be written as; X^- + H2O -----> HX + OH^-

<h3>What is a proton transfer reaction?</h3>

A proton transfer reaction is one in which a proton is moved from one chemical specie to another.It is in fact and acid - base reaction in the Brownstead - Lowry sense.

The proton transfer reaction between Cyanide and water can be written as(Let the cyanide ion be shown as X);

X^- + H2O -----> HX + OH^-

When excess dilute hydrochloric acid was added to sodium sulphite 960 of sulphuric (iv) oxide was produced. calculate the mass o

irakobra [83]

The mass of sodium sulfite that was used will be 1,890 grams.

<h3>Stoichiometric problems</h3>

First, the equation of the reaction:

$NaSO_3 + 2HCl --- > NaCl_2 + H_2O + SO_2$

The mole ratio of SO2 produced and sodium sulfite that reacted is 1:1.

Mole of 960 grams SO2 = 960/64 = 15 moles

Equivalent mole of sodium sulfite that reacted = 15 moles

Mass of 15 moles sodium sulfite = 15 x 126 = 1,890 grams
