How does a runoff get polluted.

Chemistry

Answer:

any litter on the ground can be swept up into the runoff. dirty ground water also commonly affects runoff since there are so many chemicals in the ground. farmers especially need to be cautious because teir fertilizers can leak into the ground.

Answer:

Water is polluted by runoff through the action of erosion: removal of surface material from Earth's crust, primarily soil and rock debris from the environment of which the water flows through.

Explanation:

When rain falls onto the earth, it just doesn't sit there, it starts moving according to the laws of gravity. A portion of the precipitation seeps into the ground to replenish Earth's groundwater. Most of it flows downhill as runoff. Runoff is extremely important in that not only does it keep rivers and lakes full of water, but it also changes the landscape by the action of erosion. Flowing water has tremendous power—it can move boulders and carve out canyons; check out the Grand Canyon!

Runoff of course occurs during storms, and much more water flows in rivers (and as runoff) during storms. For example, in 2001 during a major storm at Peachtree Creek in Atlanta, Georgia, the amount of water that flowed in the river in one day was 7 percent of all the streamflow for the year.

Examples

1. That part of the precipitation, snow melt, or irrigation water that appears in uncontrolled (not regulated by a dam upstream) surface streams, rivers, drains or sewers. Runoff may be classified according to speed of appearance after rainfall or melting snow as direct runoff or base runoff, and according to source as surface runoff, storm interflow, or groundwater runoff.

2. The sum of total discharges described in (1), above, during a specified period of time.

3. The depth to which a watershed (drainage area) would be covered if all of the runoff for a given period of time were uniformly distributed over it.

1. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles H2 consumed per liter per second.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

1) 0.0025 mol/L.s.

2) 0.0025 mol/L.s.

Explanation:

  • For the reaction:

<em>H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl.</em>

<em></em>

<em>The average reaction rate = - Δ[H₂]/Δt = - Δ[Cl₂]/Δt = 1/2 Δ[HCl]/Δt</em>

<em></em>

<em>1. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second.</em>

<em></em>

The average reaction rate expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second = - Δ[H₂]/Δt = - (0.02 M - 0.03 M)/(4.0 s) = 0.0025 mol/L.s.

<em>2. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles CI₂ consumed per liter per second.</em>

<em></em>

The average reaction rate expressed in moles Cl₂ consumed per liter per second = - Δ[Cl₂]/Δt = - (0.04 M - 0.05 M)/(4.0 s) = 0.0025 mol/L.s.

How does Arizona's climate relate to the air and ocean currents?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer: In Arizona, climate change is already making deadly heat waves, droughts and wildfires across the state worse. These impacts have real costs on Arizonans' health and economy, including heat-related deaths, higher electricity bills, crop losses and more.

The volume of 1.20 lol of gas at 61.3 kPa and 25.0 degree Celsius is
aniked [119]

Answer:

V = 48.5 L

Explanation:

Converting °C to K and kPa to atm

T = 25.0°C + 273.15 = 298.15 K

P = 61.3 kPa × (1 atm / 101.325 kPa) = 0.60498 atm

Calculating the volume of gas

V = nRT / P

V = (1.20 mol)(0.082057 L•atm/mol•K)(298.15 K) / 0.60498 atm

V = 48.5 L

What pressure is required to compress 156.0 liters of air at 2.00 atmosphere into a cylinder
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

option B.

Explanation:

Given,

V₁ = 156 L

P₁ =2 atm

Now, in the cylinder

P₂ = ?

V₂ = 36

Using relation between pressure and volume

\dfrac{P_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{P_2}{V_1}

\dfrac{2}{36}=\dfrac{P_2}{156}

P_2 = 8.67\ atm

Hence,  pressure is equal to 8.67 atm.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
