Mine tailings be stored and disposed of carefully since they
contain a lot of chemicals that are very toxic that leaches into aquifers, and
they also runoff in the rainwater into streams and lakes.
Tailings, also
called mine <span>dumps, culm dumps, slimes, tails, refuse,
leach residue or slickens, are the materials left over after the process of
separating the valuable fraction from the uneconomic fraction (gangue) of an
ore.</span>
Explanation:
Here are some of the ways that energy can change (transform) from one type to another:
The Sun transforms nuclear energy into heat and light energy.
Our bodies convert chemical energy in our food into mechanical energy for us to move.
An electric fan transforms electrical energy into kinetic energy.
Answer:
20 J/g
Explanation:
In this question, we are required to determine the latent heat of vaporization
- To answer the question, we need to ask ourselves the questions:
What is latent heat of vaporization?
- It is the amount of heat required to change a substance from its liquid state to gaseous state without change in temperature.
- It is the amount of heat absorbed by a substance as it boils.
How do we calculate the latent heat of vaporization?
- Latent heat is calculated by dividing the amount of heat absorbed by the mass of the substance.
In this case;
- Mass of the substance = 20 g
- Heat absorbed as the substance boils is 400 J (1000 J - 600 J)
Thus,
Latent heat of vaporization = Quantity of Heat ÷ Mass
= 400 Joules ÷ 20 g
= 20 J/g
Thus, the latent heat of vaporization is 20 J/g
= Heat released to cold reservoir
= Heat released to hot reservoir
= maximum amount of work
= temperature of cold reservoir
= temperature of hot reservoir
we know that
eq-1
maximum work is given as
= -
using eq-1
= 
-
