Describe the sources of water pollution in hydrological cycle.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bingel [31]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The hydrological cycle is the continuous cycling of water between land, open water surfaces and the sea. This cycle begins with evaporation, sunlight evaporates water from the surface of earth, next condensation happens, the water absorbed is now used to form clouds, after these clouds are filled to the maximum, precipitation happens, this can be in the form of rainfall and snow, this cycle finalizes when the precipitation of water runs off the land and back into water sources.

Sources of water pollution:

  • <em>During precipitation: </em>Smog can be gathered in the atmosphere, during precipitation this pollution can turn into acid rain.
  • <em>During runoff:</em> After acid rain hits the ground this polluted water can run into water sources (lakes, rivers, reservoirs).To some extent rivers are a self-renewing resource, if a small quantity of pollution discharges in it the river can return to a clean, unpolluted condition, unfortunately, if the pollution is too big the renewing won't be possible, another problem is even though rivers get cleaned the pollution moves to the seas. Lakes are even more vulnerable to pollution, the flushing effect in these water bodies is less evident than in rivers.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Arrange the following in order of increasing bond strength of the carbon oxygen bond:
icang [17]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that length of a bond is inversely proportional to the bond strength. This also means that a single bond has long length due to which it is weak in nature.

And, a double bond is shorter in length and has more strength as compared to a single bond. Whereas a triple bond has the smallest length and it has high strength as compared to a double or single bond.

For example, carbon monoxide is CO where there is a triple bond between the carbon and oxygen atom.

Carbon dioxide is CO_{2} where there exists a double bond between the carbon and oxygen atom.

A carbonate ion is CO^{2-}_{3} when two oxygen atoms are attached through single bond with the carbon atom and another oxygen atom is attached through a double bond to the carbon atom.

Hence, we can conclude that order of increasing bond strength of the given carbon oxygen bond is as follows.

        Carbonate ion < carbon dioxide < carbon monoxide

Sally and Sue took a canoe trip down the Mississippi River. Their average speed for the trip south was 20 miles/hour. 20 miles/h
Anna35 [415]

C

Speed is the time rate at which Sue covers the distance. It is derived by dividing the total distance covered by the total time taken to cover the distance . Usually SI unit for speed is km/h or mph or m/s.

Explanation:

Speed is also referred to as velocity- so the two are synonymous.

Acceleration is the rate at which speed is increasing. It is usually given by SI unit m/s². The opposite of acceleration is deceleration which is the rate at which speed is decreasing.

Distance is the measurement, in meters of kilometers or miles or yards..etc, that has been covered from one point to another.
