The answer is; Oil shale occurs only in areas with plentiful water resources for processing.

The refinement of oil shale requires a lot of water. This is used to quench the products of retorting and pyrolysis and also reduce dust. The water used becomes heavily polluted and has to be treated before discharge, otherwise, it will be the cause of a major environmental disaster to the local areas.

A small family farm has 230 acres of farmland to grow corn . If each acre yields 63 bushels of corn and each bushel can be sold
SashulF [63]

Answer:

$130,410

Explanation:

According to this question, a small family farm has 230 acres of farmland to grow corn. Each acre yields 63 bushels of corn i.e 1 acre = 63 bushels of corn

Also, each bushel can be sold at $9.00 i.e. 1 bushel = $9.00

If 1 bushel = $9.00

63 bushels = 63 × 9 = $567

Since 63 bushels of corn = 1 acre, it means that $567 is made on one acre.

Hence, on 230 acres, 230 × 567 = $130,410 will be made on corn per year

A. If you were designing a pigment to maximize light capture in a new kind of solar array what light absorbing properties would
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given points:

Explanation:

In point a:

When a light absorption dye was to be introduced to optimize the plant's absorbing capacity, the paint could absorb wide different wavelengths besides the observable light spectrum. It must also absorb the UV only at IR light rate to maximize the fluorescence intensity.

In point b:

Its molecule in the production of pentose sugar is the nitrogen and hydrogen atoms of carbon dioxide and water ions of air. Its water oxygen atoms are emitted through oxygen atoms during this phase.

In point c:

Its plant increased with weight while decreasing the weight of the earth, so because manufactured goods needed for plant growth are carbon dioxide from water and air, provided to a plant every day and nitrogen extracted from of the atmosphere through means of microbial materials into nitrogen. So, even if the plant raised its weight, the soil does not change the weight.
