Answer: seen below

Explanation:

the goals of the General Mining Law of 1872 state that, anyone can stake mining claims on federal land, and they pay no more than $5 an acre while they keep 100% of profits with little to no environmental provisions.

Taxpayers pay for clean up of sites.

While the goals of proposed Hardrock Mining and Reclamation Act of 2009 includes, Increasing acreage of lands off limits to exploration and development. Protecting of National Parks and National Monuments is essential. Giving land managers the ability to balance mineral activities with other uses of public land. Giving state, local and tribal government the ability to put lands off limits to mining although, this bill never became law.

What is minimum volume of oxygen required to react with 42.5 g of aluminum in the synthesis of aluminum oxide at stp?

natka813 [3]

26.833 liters

Aluminum oxide has a formula of Al₂O₃, which means for every mole of aluminum used, 1.5 moles of oxygen is required (3/2 = 1.5).

Given 42.5 g of aluminum divided by its atomic mass (26.9815385) gives 1.575 moles of aluminum.

Since it takes 1.5 moles of oxygen per mole of aluminum to make aluminum oxide, you'll need 2.363 moles of oxygen atoms.

Each molecule of oxygen gas has 2 oxygen atoms, so the moles of oxygen gas will be 2.363/2 = 1.1815

Finally, you need to calculate the volume of 1.1815 moles of oxygen gas.
1 mole of gas at STP occupies 22.7 liters of volume. Therefore,

1.1815 * 22.7 = 26.8 liters of oxygen gas.

liam uses a machine that counts waves on a metal cable. The machine counts 25 waves in 2 seconds. what is the frequency of the w

Softa [21]

Frequency is defined as the number of waves per second. In this machine 25 waves pass in one second.
We need to calculate the number of waves that pass a particular point during one second.
During 2 seconds -25 waves
Therefore in one second - 25/2 = 12.5 waves/s.
1 wave per second has the unit Hertz (Hz)
Therefore answer is 12.5 Hz

You are given a cube of lead that is 1.000 cm on each side. The density of lead is 11.35. How many atoms of lead are in the samp

aliya0001 [1]

11.35 g atoms of lead are in the sample.

What does density mean?

The density of an area refers to the quantity of things—which may include people, animals, plants, or objects—there are in it.
Divide the number of objects by the area's measurement to determine density.
A country's population density is calculated by dividing its total population by its area, expressed in square kilometers or miles.

We can calculate the volume of the cube by cubing the side of the cube.

Volume of cube = ( 1.000 cm)³

= 1.000 cm³

We can now determine the amount of lead in the cube by multiplying by the density. Because we know we have a 1.000 cubic centimeter and that lead has a density of 11.35 grams per cubic centimeter, we have 11.35 grams of lead.

= ( 1.000 cm³) ( 11.35 $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$ )

= 11.35 g
