Desertification

Chemistry
1 answer:
asambeis [7]4 years ago
6 0

Desertification:Desertification is a type of land degradation in drylands in which biological productivity is lost due to natural processes or induced by human activities whereby fertile areas become increasingly arid.

Deforestation: the action of clearing a wide area of trees.

Climate change: Climate change describes a change in the average conditions — such as temperature and rainfall — in a region over a long period of time. NASA scientists have observed Earth's surface is warming, and many of the warmest years on record have happened in the past 20 years.

Extinction:

the state or process of being or becoming extinct.

What two parts are needed to make a neutral atom of neon
almond37 [142]

Answer:

it needs two electrons in the first and eight to fill the second.

Explanation:

Because neon has two atomic shells, it needs two electrons in the first and eight to fill the second. Neon has a total of ten electrons which means two filled shells.

12. Compare and contrast hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions.
mrs_skeptik [129]

Explanation:

Van der Waals interactions occur between any two or more molecules. They are caused by a fluctuation in electron density, as electrons are not actually fixed in a shell, but actually freely moving as a 'cloud of electron density'. This means that sometimes one end of a molecule can become more partially negatively charged as all electrons move to that side, and conversely it can attract the more partially positive end of a molecule (that has little electrons).

Hydrogen bonds only occur between molecules that contain oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine bonded to a hydrogen atom.

Hydrogen bonding is also the strongest intermolecular force there is, but not strong in comparison to ionic and covalent bonds. Therefore, hydrogen bonds are much stronger than Van der Waals forces. Hydrogen bonds only form if oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine are bonded to a hydrogen atom, as they have the greatest electronegativity differences (look at an electronegativity table), and when the overall molecule is polar (have unequal charges). This allows the molecule to be able to attract another molecule from one of the bonded atoms to a hydrogen atom.

Your veterinarian is administering a sedative to your 50 pound dog. The sedative is mixed in saline solution. Unfortunately the
Olin [163]

Answer:

26.25 mL

Explanation:

This is a dilution problem. First, let us calculate the volume of final solution needed:

The dog weighs 50 pounds and the sedative is administered at 0/7 ml per pound. Hence:

50 x 0.7 = 35 mL

A total volume of 35 mL, 2.5% solution of the sedative will be needed.

But 10% solution is available. There needs to be a dilution with saline water, but what volume of the 10% solution would be diluted?

initial volume = ?

final volume = 35 mL

initial concentration = 10%

final concentration = 2.5%

Using dilution equation:

initial concentration x initial volume = final concentration x final volume

initial volume = \frac{final concentration*final volume}{initial concentration}

                     = 2.5 x 35/10 = 8.75 mL

Hence, 8.75 mL of the 10% pre-mixed sedative will be required.

But 35 mL is needed? The 8.75 mL is marked up to 35 mL with saline water.

35 - 8.75 = 26.25 mL

<em>Therefore, 26.25 mL of saline water will be added to 8.75 mL of the 10% pre-mixed sedative to give 2.5%, 35 mL needed for the dog.</em>
