Soil erodes naturally, but human activities can greatly speed the rate of soil erosion, leading to diverse ecological effects an

d to potentially severe impacts on agricultural production. Fortunately, farmers, scientists, and policy makers have devised a number of ways to conserve soil and prevent or mitigate erosion.

Answer:

Methods of soil conservation are listed below.

Explanation:

The major sources of soil erosion include water,wind and tillage. In order to mitigate or prevent soil erosion, some of the following techniques can be implemented:

  1. <u>Contour Farming: </u>Planting in row patterns that run level around a hill — as opposed to the up and down the slope pattern.This reduces runoffs and consequently water erosion.
  2. <u>Crop Rotation:</u> This involves planting crops with high residue (e.g corn, small grains, e.t.c) in rotation,as the layer of residue would protect the topsoil.  
  3. <u>Built in structural diversion</u> : Used often for gully control, to regulate flow of water away from the field and through designated desired paths.
  4. <u>Conservation Tillage</u>: This involves methods such as no-till planting, strip rotary tillage, etc, which do not allow the soil surface to be smooth and bare, but instead  covered with crop residue that protects the soil from eroding forces.

Determine whether each of the molecules below is polar or nonpolar. Tetrahedral C C l 4 CClX4 Nonpolar Tetrahedral C H 3 O H CHX
liraira [26]

Answer:

CCl4 - Nonpolar

CH3OH - polar

NH3 - polar

CS2 - Nonpolar

Explanation:

One important thing that we should know is that polarity has to do with the presence of a resultant dipole moment in a molecule.

Dipole moment is a vector quantity, This means that its direction is also taken into account when discussing the dipole moment of molecules.

Hence, symmetrical molecules such as CS2 and CCl4 are non-polar even though they have polar bonds because their dipoles cancel out(zero resultant dipole moment).

On the other hand, NH3 and CH3OH are non-symmetrical molecules hence they possess an overall dipole moment and are polar molecules.

A cyanide solution with avolume of 12.73 mL was treated with 25.00 mL of Ni2+solution (containing
natima [27]

Answer:

The molarity of this solution is 0,09254M

Explanation:

The concentration of the Ni²⁺ solution is:

Ni²⁺ + EDTA⁴⁻ → Ni(EDTA)²⁻

0,03935L × 0,01307M = 5,143x10⁻⁴ moles Ni²⁺ ÷ 0,03010L =<em>0,01709M Ni²⁺</em>

25,00 mL of this solution contain:

0,01709M × 0,02500L = 4,2716x10⁻⁴ moles of Ni²⁺

The moles of Ni²⁺ that are in excess and react with EDTA⁴⁻ are:

0,01015L × 0,01307M = 1,3266x10⁻⁴ moles of Ni²⁺

Thus, moles of Ni²⁺ that react with CN⁻ are:

4,2716x10⁻⁴ - 1,3266x10⁻⁴ = 2,9450x10⁻⁴ moles of Ni²⁺

For the reaction:

4CN⁻ + Ni²⁺ → Ni(CN)₄²⁻

Four moles of CN⁻ react with 1 mole of Ni²⁺:

2,9450x10⁻⁴ moles of Ni²⁺ × \frac{4 mol CN^-}{1 molNi^{2+}} = <em>1,178x10⁻³ moles of CN⁻</em>

As the volume of cyanide solution is 12,73mL. The molarity of this solution is:

<em>1,178x10⁻³ moles of CN⁻ ÷ 0,01273L = </em><em>0,09254M</em>

I hope it helps!

If 0.092J of heat causes a 0.267 degree C temperature change, what mass of water is present?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

0.082g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Heat (Q) = 0.092J

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 0.267°C

Specific heat capacity (C) of water = 4.184J/g°C

Mass (M) =..?

Thus, the mass of present can be obtained as follow:

Q = MCΔT

0.092 = M x 4.184 x 0.267

Divide both side by 4.184 x 0.267

M = 0.092 / (4.184 x 0.267)

M = 0.082g

Therefore, mass of water was present is 0.082.
