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.

0.28gram of NH3 on decomposition gave 0.25gram of nitrogen and hydrogen. Find the volume of hydrogen evolved at Ntp. (2gram hydr

hodyreva [135]

The volume of H₂ evolved at NTP=0.336 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

Decomposition of NH₃

2NH₃ ⇒ N₂ + 3H₂

conservation mass : mass reactants=mass product

0.28 NH₃= 0.25 N₂ + 0.03 H₂

2 g H₂ = 22.4 L

so for 0.03 g :

$\tt \dfrac{0.03}{2}\times 22.4=0.336$

PLEASE HELP ME what happened to the green trait in mendel's pea plants

Setler [38]

Answer:

Mendel's gene involved in pea color decides whether the chlorophyll in the pea will be broken down or degraded. When this gene isn't working, the chlorophyll stays around and the pea is green. So in this case the recessive trait is indeed due to a broken gene.

1. Make an observation : My toaster doesn't toast my bread

2. Ask a question : Why doesn't my toaster work?

3. Form a hypothesis : My coffeemaker works when plugged into the outlet

4. Make a prediction : If something is wrong with the outlet, then my coffeemaker also won't work when plugged into it

5. Conduct an experiment : I plug my coffeemaker into the outlet

6. Analyze the results : There is something wrong with the electrical outlet

Explanation:

The solution to the problem is as shown above.

A scientific method follow a methodical way of critically carrying out an inquiry into an observation.
Firstly, an observation is usually made with our senses. Here the researcher observes that the toaster does not toast his bread probably after a long wait.
He then proceeds to ask why the toaster does not work.
To investigate this, the forms a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a scientific guess. It is a tentative proposition about an investigation.
The researcher then makes a prediction about the outlet that might be faulty.
With this background, he goes on to carry out an experiment to substantiate his findings. This is seen when he plugs the coffeemaker into the outlet.
From the analysis of result, he sees that that something is wrong with the outlet.
