How do the strength and the cohesion of clay-rich regolith or soil change with the addition of water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lisov135 [29]4 years ago
6 0

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.

What is the wavelength range,in nanometer,for infrared light? In what portion of this range does the earth receive IR from the s
andrezito [222]
  • The wavelength range of Infrared radiation is 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter.
  • The sun emits mainly near-infrared which is mainly composed of wavelength below 4 micrometers.
  • The thermal range of infrared ranges between wavelengths 3.5 and 2.0 micrometers

Explanation:

The wavelength range of Infrared radiation is 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter. This also translates to a frequency range of 430 TeraHertz  to 300 Giga Hertz.

Because the sun is a star and is hot in comparison to earth and other planetary bodies, the bigger  range of infrared radiation it emits is in the near-infrared which is mainly composed of wavelength below 4 micrometers.

The earth's surface produces infrared radiation of the mid-infrared range while cooler substances will produce far-infrared range

The thermal range of infrared ranges between wavelengths 3.5 and 2.0 micrometers and is produced by black bodies.

If 22.5L of nitrogen at 0.98 atm is compressed to 0.95 atm,what is the new volume?
Ksenya-84 [330]

At constant temperature, if the pressure is compressed to the given value, the volume of the nitrogen gas increases to 23.2L.

<h3>What is Boyle's law?</h3>

Boyle's law simply states that "the volume of any given quantity of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure as long as temperature remains constant.

Boyle's law is expressed as;

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P₁ is Initial Pressure, V₁ is Initial volume, P₂ is Final Pressure and V₂ is Final volume.

Given that;

  • Initial volume of the gas V₁ = 22.5L
  • Initial pressure of the gas P₁ = 0.98atm
  • Final pressure of the gas P₂ = 0.95atm
  • Final volume of the gas V₂ = ?

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

V₂ = (0.98atm × 22.5L) / 0.95atm

V₂ = 22.05Latm / 0.95atm

V₂ = 23.2L

Therefore, at constant temperature, if the pressure is compressed to the given value, the volume of the nitrogen gas increases to 23.2L.

SO2 + H2O = H2SO3 and not H2SO4?
kramer
It's because the Law of Conservation of Mass WILL NOT be followed if, from SO2 and water, sulfuric acid is formed. Making a balanced chemical reaction is not possible, no matter what you do. To obtain or make sulfuric acid, SO2 still needs to be oxidized further to SO3.

A certain liquid X has a normal boiling point of 108.30 °C and a boiling point elevation constant Kb=1.07 °C kg/mol. A solution
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

34,6g of (NH₄)₂SO₄

Explanation:

The boiling-point elevation describes the phenomenon in which the boiling point of a liquid increases with the addition of a compound. The formula is:

ΔT = kb×m

Where ΔT is Tsolution - T solvent; kb is ebullioscopic constant and m is molality of ions in solution.

For the problem:

ΔT = 109,7°C-108,3°C = 1,4°C

kb = 1.07 °C kg/mol

Solving:

m = 1,31 mol/kg

As mass of X = 600g = 0,600kg:

1,31mol/kg×0,600kg = 0,785 moles of ions. As (NH₄)₂SO₄ has three ions:

0,785 moles of ions×\frac{1(NH_{4})_{2}SO_{4}}{3Ions} = 0,262 moles of (NH₄)₂SO₄

As molar mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ is 132,14g/mol:

0,262 moles of (NH₄)₂SO₄×\frac{132,14g}{1mol} = <em>34,6g of (NH₄)₂SO₄</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
