Answer:
Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.
Explanation:
Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.
Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.
The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.
The answer is, C. the wavelength is measured in parallel to the direction of the wave, at any point, under the same repetition for any type of wave.
Answer:
= 2630.6 N.m
Explanation:
(FR)x = ΣFx = -F4 = -407 N
(FR)y = ΣFy =-F1-F2 -F3 = -510 - 306 - 501 = -1317 N
(MR)B =ΣM + Σ(±Fd)
= MA + F1(d1 +d2) + F2d2 - F4d3
= 1504 + 510(0.880+1.11) +306(1.11) - 407(0.560)
= 2630.64 N.m (counterclockwise)
Answer:
Pressure of the gas = 12669 (Pa) and height of the oil is 1,24 meters
Explanation:
First, we can use the following sketch for an easy understanding, in the attached image we can see the two pressure gauges the one with mercury to the right and the other one with oil to left. We have all the information needed in the mercury pressure gauge, so we can determine the pressure inside the vessel because the fluid is a gas it will have the same pressure distributed inside the vessel (P1).
Since P1 = Pgas, we can use the same formula, but this time we need to determine the height of the column of oil in the pressure gauge.
The result is that the height of the oil column is higher than the height of the one that uses mercury, this is due to the higher density of mercury compared to oil.
Note: the information given in the units of the fluids is not correct because the density is always expressed in units of (mass /volume)
