Which of these reservoirs contains the most water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mumz [18]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Glaciers

Explanation:

Reservoirs refers to paces where water are stored. The largest water reservoir on earth are the oceans which contain about 97% of all the water on the earth.

The next highest  reservoir  are the glaciers or the polar ice caps. These hold quite an enormous amount of the water found on earth.

Surface and other fresh water only account for about 1.2% of all the surface water on earth.Ground water accounts for a very minute percentage of the water found on earth.

Consider the market for paper. Let market demand be given by inverse demand function P d (Q) = 60 − Q, where Q is tons of paper
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Demand for paper is given below:

P(Q)=60-Q,

Number of paper mills=20

The cost curve for firm is given below:

C(Q)=10Q2

The external cost in terms of pollution down river by production of paper is given below:

EC(Q)=10Q2

a. The optimal level of paper production by market can be calcuated by equating MC=P

20Q=P

Q=P/20

b. The optimal level of paper production by market can be calcuated by equating MC=P.

MC=20Q

60-(20Q)=20Q

Q=60/40

Q=1.5

Total quanity by 20 firms will be 1.5*20=30

c. The socially efficient level of paper output is calcuated below:

MC+EC'=20Q+20Q

60-(20Q)=40Q

Q=60/60

Q=1

Total quanity by 20 firms will be 1*20=20

The price will be P=60-20=40

d, The deadweight loss occurs as market price increases and quantity decreases due to the external cost . The deadweight loss is calcuated below:

DWL=(1/2)*change in price* change in quantity

=(1/2)*10*10=50

e. 20 firms merged into one firm to make monopoly firm. The cost function for the monopoly is given below:

Cm(Q)=20*10(Q/20)2

The marginal cost for the monopoly firm will be

MCm=Q

The marginal revenue for the firm is 60-2Q

For optimal output MR is equated to MC

60-2Q=Q

Q=20

P=40.

The monopoly outcome is below the perfect competition outcome and price is higher in comparison to perfect competition. The monopoly outcome is same as socially efficient outcome.

The total surplus for this outcome is sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus and subtraction of external cost

TS=CS+PS-EC

=(1/2)*20*20+(1/2)*40*20-10(20)2

=600-4000=-3400

Due to the external effects the total surplus to the society is negative. In perfect competition this effect is not considered and output produced is high therefore, the external cost will be higher with higher output leading to higher negative social surplus. Generally the monopoly outcome reduces the total social surplus but in case of externality, the monopoly total surplus is higher than the perfect competition.

The normal boiling point of a substance is defined to be the temperature at which the liquid phase of the substance is in equili
boyakko [2]

Answer:

ΔSv = 0.1075 KJ/mol.K

Explanation:

Binary solution:

∴ a: solvent

∴ b: solute

in equilibrium:

  • μ*(g) = μ(l) = μ* +RTLnXa....chemical potential (μ)

⇒ Ln (1 - Xb) = ΔG/RT

∴ ΔG = ΔHv - TΔSv

⇒ Ln(1 -Xb) = ΔHv/RT - ΔSv/R

∴ Xb → 0:

⇒ Ln(1) = ΔHv/RT - ΔSv/R

∴ T = T*b....normal boiling point

⇒ 0 = ΔHv/RT*b - ΔSv/R

⇒ ΔSv = (R)(ΔHv/RT*b)

⇒ ΔSv = ΔHv/T*b

∴ T*b = 80°C ≅ 353 K

⇒ ΔSv = (38 KJ/mol)/(353 K)

⇒ ΔSv = 0.1075 KJ/mol.K

In the Minnesota Department of Health set a health risk limit for acetone in groundwater of 60.0 μg/L . Suppose an analytical ch
siniylev [52]

Answer:

m = 4.7 μg

Explanation:

Given data:

density of acetone = 60.0  μg/L

Volume = 79.0 mL

Mass = ?

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

v = 79.0 mL × 1L /1000 mL

v = 0.079 L

Now we will put the values on formula:

d = m/v

60.0  μg/L = m/0.079 L

m = 60.0 μg/L × 0.079 L

m = 4.7 μg

So health risk limit for acetone = 4.7  μg

How much volume would a 834.01g pile of sugar have given that it has a density of 1.59g/mL?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

v = 534.5mL

m = 597.15g

Density = 9.23g/mL

Density = 9.125g/mL

Explanation:

Density = mass/ volume

For the first question

Density = 1.59g/mL

Mass = 834.01g

Volume = ?

Using the above formula we have 1.59 = 834.01/v

v = 834.01/1.59

v = 534.5mL

For the second question

Density =0.9167g/mL

Volume = 651.41mL

Mass =?

Using the above formula we have

0.9167 =m/651.41

Cross multiply

m = 0.9167 x 651.41

m = 597.15g

For the third question

Mass =803.44g

Volume=87.03mL

Density =?

Density = 803.44/87.03

= 9.23g/mL

For the fourth

Density = 56.85/6.23

= 9.125g/mL
