A sample of sand, 5cm in diameter and 10 cm long, was prepared at a porosity of 50% in a constant head apparatus. The total head

was kept constant at 30 cm and the amount of water collected in 5 seconds was 60 cm3. The test temperature was 17oC. Calculate the hydraulic conductivity and the seepage velocity at 20 oC.

Answer:

K = 2.037*10^{-3} m/s

V_s = 0.0122 \ m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter (d) = 10cm/2 = 0.1m/2 = 0.05 m

length (l) = 10 cm = 0.1 m

porosity = 50%

height (h) = 30 cm = 0.3 m

time (t) = 5 s

volume (v) = 60 cm³ = 60 × 10⁻⁶ m³

Q (flow rate) = \frac{v}{t}

Q = \frac{60*10^{-6} m^3}{5}

Q = 12*10^{-6} m^3 /sec

From constant head method, we use the relation K = (\frac{Q*L}{A*h}) to determine the hydraulic conductivity ; we have:

K = \frac{12*10^{-6}*0.1}{\frac{\pi}{4}0.05^2*0.3}

K = 0.002037\\\\K = 2.037*10^{-3} m/s

Seepage velocity V_s = \frac{velocity }{porosity}

where; velocity = K*i

=(2.037*10^{-3}*)(\frac{0.3}{0.1})

= 6.111*10^{-3} m/s

V_s = \frac{6.111*10^{-3}}{0.5}

V_s = 0.0122 \ m/s

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

This mechanism of polimerization is of one type. This mechanism goes through free radical polimerization, which means that we use a initiator as the radical source, then, the polimerization begins with the breaking of the covalent bonds of that initiator. In this case the benzoyl peroxide. And this mechanism is given in three steps.

In the picture you have the mechanism in the 3 steps:

Which type of bonding is most important in ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3?
saveliy_v [14]

The compound CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3 is formed only by sharing of electrons between the atoms. The structure of the compound is shown in the image.

Each line between two atoms represents the sharing of an electron pair which results in the formation of a single bond. Since, carbon has 4 electrons in its valence shell and hydrogen has 1 electron in its valence shell so in order to complete the octet ( to have 8 electrons in their valence shell, noble gas configuration) to attain stability carbon needs 4 more electrons and hydrogen needs 1 electron. So, sharing of electron will occur as shown in the image and the formed compound is stable in nature.

Since, the bond that is formed by sharing of electrons between atoms is known as covalent bond. So, covalent bonding is most important in CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3.
