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.

Arrange the following compounds from left to right in order of increasing percentage by mass of hydrogen: a) H2O, b) C12H26, c)

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

(A) N4H6 (B) H2O (C) LiH (D) C12H26

Explanation:

The given compounds have been arranged from left to right in order of increasing percentage by mass of hydrogen.

The percent by mass of hydrogen can be calculated by mass of hydrogen in that compound divided by total mass of that compound and finally multiplying the result with 100 to obtain the required percentage.

The decomposition of acetaldehyde is a second order reaction with a rate constant of 4.71 10−8 L/mol/s. What is the instantaneou

pochemuha

Answer: Rate of decomposition of acetaldehyde in a solution is $1.45\times 10^{-14}mol/Ls$

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

For a reaction : $A\rightarrow products$

$Rate=k[A]^x$

k= rate constant

x = order of the reaction = 2

$Rate=4.71\times 10^{-8}L/mol/s\times {5.55\times 10^{-4}M}^2$

$Rate=1.45\times 10^{-14}$

Thus rate of decomposition of acetaldehyde in a solution is $1.45\times 10^{-14}mol/Ls$
