Answer:

Which could cause topsoil to be lost?

<u>a) wind and water erosion</u>

Explanation:

A natural and common cause of soil erosion is Water. Water can carry away tiny soil particles.

Raindrops can impact the soil surface and can break down the aggregates in soil and scatter them.

Water runoff is another cause of soil erosion and this occurs when water on a slope isn’t absorbed into the soil or becomes trapped on the surface.

Loose particles can be picked up and carried away by the wind.

Soil surfaces can be worn down when struck by airborne particles carried by the wind.

B. Lack of use of the top soil rather helps the top soil to regain its nutrients.

c. Compaction can the topsoil from losing particles, since there are no loose particles to be picked up.

D. Desertification mostly causes the soil to lose its nutrients, not go away completely.

Hope this helps!

Consider the following isotopic abundance data for argon (Ar) and silicon (Si):
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molar mass of Argon

= 35.96755 x .00337 + 37.96272 x .00063 + 39.96240 x .99600

= .12121 + .0239165 + 39.80255

= 39.95

Molar mass of silicon

27.97693 x .9223 + 28.97649 x .0467 + 29.97376 x .0310

= 25.803 + 1.35320 + .929

= 28.08

b )

No of atoms of Si  in 78.2 g = 78.2 x 6.02 x 10²³ / 28.08

= 16.76 x 10²³ .

c )

42 Ar / 40 Ar = 1.05006

42 Ar / 39.95 = 1.05006

42Ar = 41.95

2 )

C₁₆H₁₅F₂N₃O₄S

Mol weight = 16 x 12 + 1 x 15 + 2 x 19 + 3 x 14 + 4 x 16 + 32

= 192 + 15 + 38 + 42 + 64+ 32

= 383

No of molecules = .078 x 6.02 x 10²³ / 383

= 1.226 x 10²⁰ molecules .

Does anyone know the answer?????​
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

In chemistry, pH (/piːˈeɪtʃ/) (abbr. power of hydrogen or potential for hydrogen) is a scale used to specify how acidic or basic a water-based solution is. Acidic solutions have a lower pH, while basic solutions have a higher pH.

Look at the equation for the reaction for nitric oxide and oxygen. Do you think this is a single-step reaction or a multistep re
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

This is most likely a multi-stepped reaction.

Explanation:

From the collision theory, we know that it is super improbable for 3 different molecules (2 NO and 1 O2) to all hit each other at the perfect speed in the perfect position to make the products. From this, we can pretty confidently say that this is most likely a multi-stepped reaction.

Hope this helps! :)

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 20 grams of CaBr2<br> in 0.50 liter of solution?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

2 M

Explanation:

mole weight of CaBr2 = 40 + 2 * 79.9 = 199.8 gm

20 gm is then   20/199.8 =.1 mole

.1 mole / .50 liter = 2 M

Nurse Antonio measured out 7 grams of sodium chloride (NaCI). Using dimensional analysis, calculate how many moles of NaCI he we
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

0.119 moles

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass measured by Nurse Antonio is 7 grams of NaCl

To find,

The no of moles of NaCl

Solution,

The number of moles is given by

n=\dfrac{m}{M}

m is given mass

M is molar mass

For NaCl, molar mass is 23+35.5 = 58.5 grams

So,

n=\dfrac{7}{58.5}\\\\n=0.119\ \text{moles}

Therefore, there are 0.119 moles of NaCl.
