The Cascades rain shadow can be described as such: ocean-influenced moist air masses are forced to rise when they meet the tall moun- tains. The rising air cools, condenses, and the moisture falls as precipitation. On the leeward (dry) side of the mountain, the now dry air warms and sinks.
Answer:
- Option C) the chance of water-borne diseases.
Explanation:
When a <em>flood </em>happens, water will lpotentially get contaminated by several causes which include the overflow of untreated wastewater, the decomposition of the carcasses of animals and people, and the chemical contamination from industries.
In general, biochemical and chemical hazards are present in the water, after a flood, which means that the authorities and population should take extreme care for the use and intake of water: chemical treatment (use of chlorine), boil water. As usual, children and the elderly are the most at risk in those conditions.
Answer:
Aldehyde and ketone both react with alcohols (2 equivalent) in the presence of acid catalyst to give acetals.
Explanation:
Alcohols are poor nucleophiles and so protonation of the carbonyl oxygen used to make the carbonyl carbon a stronger electrophile. Addition of the first equivalent of alcohols gives a hemiacetal,
Addition of the second equivalent of alcohol is accompanied by loss of one molecule water to yield the produce acetal.
