Answer:

Landslides will occur due to the removal of vegetation

Explanation:

<u>Due to the removal of plants and trees from the slope of the mountain, the soil becomes dry and loses its fertility. This dry soil becomes unstable and when it comes in contact with the water (from precipitation), it causes landslides and the materials are eroded along the slope of the valley</u>. When there is vegetation in the slope it absorbs the water into their roots thereby making the slope stable. So vegetations also is an important factor in controlling slope stability.

<u>The landslide refers to the downward motion of particles including rocks, soils, and debris. It occurs when the shear stress exceeds the shear strength of the material</u>.

So a slope that lacks in the vegetation cover is more likely to experience landslide.

A compound is 54.53% c, 9.15% h, and 36.32% o by mass. what is its empirical formula? the molecular mass of the compound is 132
Yakvenalex [24]
 <span>First - you need the empirical formula. 

So, assume you have 100 g of the compound. 

If so, you'll have 54.53 gram of C, 9.15 g of H and 36.32 g of O. Find the number of moles of each. 

54.53 g C (1 mole C / 12.01 g C) = 4.540 

9.15 g H (1 mole H / 1.008 g H) = 9.077 

36.32 g O (1 mole O / 15.9994 g O) = 2.270 

Take the smallest number found and divide the others by it to get the empirical formula. 

4.540/2.270 = 2. 
9.077/2.270 = 4. 
2.270/2.270 =1. 

So, that gives you the empirical formula of C2H4O. 

Find the weight of this compound. C = 12, H = 1, O = 16. So, C2H4O is 44 amu. 

132/44 = 3. 

So, 3 (C2 H4 O) = C6H12O3 = molecular formula.</span>

What are the four points of Dalton's Theory?<br>​
WARRIOR [948]

1. Elements are composed of atoms that are indestructible

2. All atoms of a given element are identical; same size/mass/chemical properties

3. Atoms of 1 element are different from the atoms of other elements

4. Compounds are composed of atoms with more than 1 element. The relative number of atoms for each element are of a given compound are always going to be the same.

(Extra one) 5. Chemical reactions are only ever going involve the rearrangement of the atoms. Atoms are not created/destroyed during the chemical reactions. (Law of Conservation of Mass: nothing can ever be created or destroyed.)
