Answer:

Water lowers the strength and cohesion of clay-rich regolith or soil.

Explanation:

Water can seep into the soil or clay-rich regolith and replace the air in the pore space of the soil or regolith. Water will completely surrounds all the grains of the clay-rich regolith and breaks the bonds in between the grains, that is eliminating all grain to grain contact of the regolith. When the regolith becomes saturated with water, the angle of repose is reduced to very small values and the regolith tends to loose its form.

Answer: The number to the left of AC should be 6.

Explanation: The balanced chemical reaction is one in which the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side must be equal to the number of atoms on product side.

The given equation $A_2B + DC_3 \rightarrow AC + D_2B_3$ is unbalanced as the atoms on the reactant side are not same as number of atoms on product side. This equation is called as skeletal equation.

The balanced chemical equation is :

$3A_2B + 2DC_3 \rightarrow 6AC + D_2B_3$

Thus the number to the left of AC is 6.

You are given a solution of sugar and sand and water your task is to separate sugar from sand which of the following experimenta

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Filtration followed by evaporation:

To separate the mixture of sand and sugar, it is best to use the separation technique of filtration then evaporation.

Pour the water into the mixture. The sugar will dissolve with time in the water. Sand is made up of quartz and does not dissolve in water.

After the dissolution, filter the solution to separate the sand using a filter paper.

Dry the sand thereafter then proceed to evaporate the sugar with water solution. Evaporation will turn water into vapor and the sugar crystals will be left behind.
