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 gas system has an initial number of moles of 0.693 moles with the volume unknown. When the number of moles changes to 0.928 mo
lara [203]

Answer:

The initial volume in mL is 5959.2 mL

Explanation:

As the number of moles of a gas increases, the volume also increases.  Hence, number of moles and volumes are directly proportional i.e

n ∝ V

Where n is the number of moles and V is the volume

Then, n = cV

c is the proportionality constant

∴n/V = c

Hence n₁/V₁ = n₂/V₂

Where n₁ is the initial number of moles

V₁ is the initial volume

n₂ is the final number of moles

and V₂ is the final volume.

From the question,

n₁ = 0.693 moles

V₁ = ?

n₂ = 0.928 moles

V₂ = 7.98 L

Putting the values into the equation

n₁/V₁ = n₂/V₂

0.693 / V₁ = 0.928 / 7.98

Cross multiply

∴ 0.928V₁ = 0.693 × 7.98  

0.928V₁ = 5.53014

V₁ = 5.53014/0.928

V₁ = 5.9592 L

To convert to mL, multiply by 1000

∴ V₁ = 5.9592 × 1000 mL

V₁ = 5959.2 mL

Hence, the initial volume in mL is 5959.2 mL

xxMikexx [17]
6.022x10^23 is Avogadro’s number. Use this whenever you work with Stoichiometry involving Atoms, formula units, or molecules. 1 mol of anything is always Avogadro’s number.

Multiply everything on the top= 6.93 x 10^23
Divide by everything on the bottom = 6.93 x 10^23
Answer: 6.93 x 10^23 atoms Cu.
