What is the method use to separate sand and water​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Slav-nsk [51]2 years ago
7 0

Sand and water can be separated by any of the following methods:

1. Sedimentation and decantation: This method involves the mixture being kept undisturbed for some time. After some time, sand being heavier and insoluble in water, settles down at the bottom of container. Now, water is poured into another container to separate it from sand.

2. Filtration: This method involves the mixture being passed through a filter paper (a filter with very fine pores). Sand particles being larger in size are retained by the filter paper and get separated from water.

I hope this helps! :D

Las Vegas, Nevada is in a desert. How does its rapid population growth affect the
Scrat [10]

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.

This came from the K12 learning course read this and the answer will be there. I underlined the important parts for the answer.

What are the purposes of theories in science?
Leto [7]

Answer:

Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions. They describe the causes of a particular natural phenomenon and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry (for example, electricity, chemistry, and astronomy).

A good theory in the theoretical sense is (1) consistent with empirical observations; is (2) precise, (3) parsimonious, (4) explanatorily broad, and (5) falsifiable; and (6) promotes scientific progress (among others; Table 1.1).

How many molecules are contained in 0.800 mol o2?
Ksenya-84 [330]
Multiply .800 moles of O2 by Avagadro's number divided by 1 mole. This will get rid of the moles on the bottom and leave you with molecules. So technically .800 times 6.02x10^23.

If 15.0 mL of phosphoric acid completely neutralizes 38.5 mL of 0.150 mol/L calcium hydroxide, what is the concentration of the
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Let me give it a try.

H3PO4 + Ca(OH)2 = Ca3(PO4)2 + H2O

Balancing this reaction

2H3PO4 + 3Ca(OH)2 == Ca3(PO4)2 + 6H2O.

Moles= Molarity x Volume

Volume = 38.5ml = 0.0385L

Moles of Ca hydroxide = 0.150m/L x 0.0385L

(Notice the units canceling out...leaving moles).

=0.005775moles of Ca(OH)2.

From balanced reaction...

3moles of Ca(OH)2 completely reacts with 2moles of H3PO4

0.005775moles of Ca(OH)2 would completely react with....

= 0.005775 x 2/(3)

=0.00385moles of H3PO4.

Now we're looking for its Concentration in Mol/L

Molarity=Moles of solute/Volume of solution(in L)

Volume of solution assuming no other additions to the reaction = 15ml + 38.5ml =53.5ml =0.0535L

Molarity = 0.00385/0.0535

=0.072Mol/L.

If this is wrong

then Simply Try The formula for Mixing of solutions

C1V1 = C2V2

0.15 x 38.5 = C2 x (15+38.5)

C2 = 0.11M/L.
