At construction sites, workers often reduce erosion by ____.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Naddik [55]3 years ago
5 0
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>All the above</em>

Workers at construction sites often reduce erosion by;

  • <em>Moving excess sediment back to its original location </em>
  • <em>Planting trees </em>
  • <em>Spraying water on bare soil</em>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process which involves the wearing away of the topsoil by natural forces such as wind, water or other forces associated with farming.
  • <em><u>Construction of roads and buildings results to large amounts of soil erosion around the world. It is therefore important to put measures that would help reduce soil erosion at construction sites</u></em>. These measures uses principals of soil control such as implementing sediment control, limiting soil exposure, reducing the runoff velocity, and modifying topography among others.

What is the mass ratio and atomic ratio for cl2o7
elixir [45]

Answer:

Mass ratio: 71:112

Atomic ratio: 2:7

Explanation:

1. To get the mass ratio of of the compound Cl2O7, the following steps are followed:

- The atomic mass of Cl = 35.5g/mol, O = 16g/mol

- The mass of each element in the compound is as follows:

Cl2 = 35.5(2) = 71g

O7 = 16(7) = 112g

The mass ratio is the ratio of one mass of an element to another in the compound, hence, the mass ratio is 71:112

- The molar mass of the compound, Cl2O7, is determined:

71 + 112 = 183g/mol

- The mass percent of each element is determined by dividing the mass of each element present by the Molar Mass:

Cl = 71/183 = 0.3879 × 100 = 38.8%

O = 112/183 = 0.612 × 100 = 61.2%

2. Atomic ratio is the ratio of one atom in a molecule to another. It can be calculated this:

In Cl2O7, there are 9 total atoms (2 atoms of Cl + 7 atoms of oxygen).

Hence, that atomic ratio of Cl to oxygen in Cl2O7 is 2:7

If objects with a greater mass have greater gravitational pull, why is our solar
STatiana [176]

Answer:

It's too far away

Explanation:

According to classical mechanics, gravitational pull is inversely proportional to the distance squared; as the distance increases, the gravitational pull decreases at a faster and faster rate. Since Alpha Centauri A is a few lightyears (Tens of trillions of kilometers away), without even needing to calculate the force of gravity, it is very miniscule.

A model used for the yield Y of an agricultural crop as a function of the nitrogen level N in the soil (measured in appropriate
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

  • It is 3.

Explanation:

The model written correctly is:

  • Y=\frac{kN}{9+N^2}

This is a mathematical question, instead of a chemistry question, and you should use calculus to find the nitrogen level that gives the best yield, since this is an optimization problem.

The best yield is the maximum yield, and the maximum, provided that it exists, is found using the first derivative and making it equal to zero: Y' = 0

To find Y' you must use the quotient rule.

Y'=\frac{(kN)'(9+N^2)- (kN)(9+N^2)'}{(9+N^2)^2}\\ \\Y'=\frac{k(9+N^2)-kN(2N)}{(9+N^2)^2}\\ \\Y'=\frac{9k + kN^2 - 2kN^2}{(9 + N^2)^2}=\frac{9k-kN^2}{(9+N^2)^2}

Now make Y' = 0

  • The denominator is never equal to zero, because it is always positive and greater than 9.

  • Make the numerator equal to zero:

         9k - kN² = 0

  • Factor: k (9 - N²) = 0

  • Since k is a positve constant, it is not equal to zero, and the other factor, 9 - N², must be equal to zero:

         9 - N² = 0 ⇒ (3 - N) (3 + N) = 0

         ⇒ 3 - N = 0 or 3 + N = 0 ⇒ N = 3 or N = -3.

Since N is nitrogen level, it cannot be negative and the only valid answer is N = 3.

You can prove that it is a maximum (instead of a minimum) finding the second derivative or testing some points around 3 (e.g. 2.5 and 3.5).

A chemist determines by measurements that moles of nitrogen gas participate in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of nitrog
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

0.56 g

Explanation:

<em>A chemist determines by measurements that 0.020 moles of nitrogen gas participate in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of nitrogen gas that participates.</em>

Step 1: Given data

Moles of nitrogen gas (n): 0.020 mol

Step 2: Calculate the molar mass (M) of nitrogen gas

Molecular nitrogen is a gas formed by diatomic molecules, whose chemical formula is N₂. Its molar mass is:

M(N₂) = 2 × M(N) = 2 × 14.01 g/mol = 28.02 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate the mass (m) corresponding to 0 0.020 moles of nitrogen gas

We will use the following expression.

m = n × M

m = 0.020 mol × 28.02 g/mol

m = 0.56 g

1.34 milligrams is the same as _______kg and ______g
Maurinko [17]
There are 1000 mg in 1 g
and there are 1000 g in 1 kg

Start by converting 1.34 mg to grams by dividing 1.34 mg by 1000 g = 0.00134 g

Then convert 0.00134 g to kg by dividing 0.00134 g by 1000 kg = 1.34×10^-6 kg OR 0.00000134 kg
