How is human activity affected by sinkholes

Chemistry
1 answer:
tamaranim1 [39]3 years ago
8 0

The effects of sinkholes vary based on where and how they were formed.

When naturally formed on land, they will change the topography of the surroundings, cause nothing but minor issues, if any issue at all.

When formed on highly populated areas, though, they can cause a lot of damage to humans and properties in the region. Damage caused to the base of a building might be a very serious problem.

Toxic chemicals can also come up through sinkholes.

How many moles of steric acid are contained in 0.25 ml of a hexane solution containing 5.4 x 10^-4 g stearic acid/l?
san4es73 [151]
First, we determine the mass of stearic acid in the solution by multiplying the given concentration by the volume. 
                      mass of stearic acid = (5.4 x 10^-4 g/L) (0.25 mL) (1000 mL/1L)
                                                          = 0.135 g
Then, we divide this amount by the molar mass in order to obtain the number of moles of stearic acid. The molar mass of stearic acid is 284.4772 g/mol.
                   moles stearic acid = 0.135 g / (284.4772 g/mol)
                                                    = <em>4.75 x 10^-4 mol</em>

What is the volume of 15.2 grams of SO2 at STP?
kiruha [24]

5.512 litres is the volume of  15.2 grams of sulphur dioxide gas at STP.

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of sulphur dioxide = 15.2 grams

conditions is at STP whech means volume = 22.4 litres

atomic mass of sulphur dioxide = 64.06 grams/mole

Number of moles is calculated as:

number of moles = \frac{mas}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

Putting the values in the equation:

number of moles = \frac{15.2}{64.06}

                              = 0.23 moles

Assuming that sulphur dioxide behaves as an ideal gas, we can calculate the volume as:

When 1 mole of sulphur dioxide occupies 22.4 litres at STP

Then 0.23 moles of sulphur dioxide occupies 22.4 x 0.23

= 5.152 litres is the volume.

Positron emission = emission of a positron and a neutrino when a proton is convert into a neutron. The total number of particles in the nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron

It's a spontaneous reaction for some nucleus.

eg:

Positron = e+

Neutrino=ve

O-15 --> N-15 + e+ +ve

Electron capture= A nucleus absorb an electron while a proton is convert in a neutron and emit a neutrino. The total number of particles in the nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron

eg:

Al-26 +e- --> Mg-26 + ve

Electron capture and positron emission are two mechanisms to explain the decay of some unstable isotopes. Electron capture is usually observed when the energy difference between the initial and final state is low. Mainly because of the larger amount of kinetic energy need for the expulsion two particles with the positron emission mechanism.

Ana drives at a speed of 175m/s. she recorded a distance of 2km. Find the time.
pantera1 [17]

The time it took her to drive 2 km is 11.43 seconds, because sonverting kilometers to meters, it is 1000 meters to every kilometer, and she travels 2 kilometers, which is two-thousand meters. Then to find the time you need to divide the time by the speed, and with that you get 11.4285714286, or 11.43 seconds.
