Scrat [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Many areas of the United States experience explosive population growth. <u>The more people that reside someplace, the more demand there is for water there.</u> Often these urban-growth <u>expansions are unplanned and place extraordinary stress on the water supply system, mainly on the groundwater.</u> <u>The stress often depletes groundwater supply, thereby causing wells to dry up.</u> Then water must be brought from somewhere else to support the local population.

Such situations have occurred all over the United States. For example, increased population growth in the southwestern United States has significantly lowered the water table 50 to 200 feet (depending on the area) since the 1940s. Managing urban growth, efforts to reduce water demand, conservation of the resource, and attempts to increase the water supply all address the problem of exceeding water resource limits.

<u>Human activities affect groundwater quality.</u>

<u>Here are some sources </u>and possible solutions to groundwater pollution:

<u>Agriculture</u>—Reduce usage of pesticides and fertilizers.

<u>Landfills</u>—Monitor for leakage and repair linings.

<u>Underground storage tanks</u>—Remove damaged and unused tanks.

<u>Household wastes</u>—Properly dispose of household hazardous waste.

<u>Septic tank leaks</u>—Properly maintain and repair tanks.

An empty beaker weighs 25.91 g. When completely filled with water, the beaker and its contents have a total mass of 333.85 g. Wh
Finger [1]

Answer:

The beaker holds 307.94  mL

Explanation:

As we know that the volume that beaker hold is the volume of water that occupied by it.

For this first we have to find mass of the water in the beaker

This can be calculated by the subtraction of beaker's weight from the weight of beaker and water.

     weight of water (m) = total weight - weight of beaker

Empty weight of beaker = 25.91 g

Weight of beaker with water = 333.85 g

Weight of water = 333.85 - 25.91 = 307.94 g

Density of water = 1 g/mL

We have

      Mass = Volume x density

      307.94  = Volume x 1

      Volume = 307.94  mL

The beaker holds 307.94  mL
