Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Eskers are the long ridges that are comprised of rocks, sands and clay particles and are deposited towards the end of the glaciers. These are fluvioglacial depositional features. These particles are exposed after the glaciers recede. These ridges are formed parallel to the earlier flow direction of ice. The size of eskers is generally smaller as it carries smaller particles such as rocks, sands, and gravels, in comparison to the different type of moraines. It is because the flow velocity decreases as the glaciers melt. So, these eskers are formed at the end of the glaciers.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

The Goodyear blimp contains 5.7 x 10^6 L of helium at 25 degrees Celsius and 1 atm. What is the mass in grams of the helium insi

anygoal [31]

Answer:

1.72x10⁻⁵ g

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the PV=nRT equation, where:

P = 1 atm

V = 5.7x10⁶ L

n = ?

R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹

T = 25 °C ⇒ (25+273.16) = 298.16 K

And we solve for n:

1 atm * 5.7x10⁶ L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 298.16 K

n = 4.29x10⁻⁶ mol

Finally we convert moles of helium to grams, using its molar mass:

4.29x10⁻⁶ mol * 4 g/mol = 1.72x10⁻⁵ g
