Explanation:
The 2019 water crisis in Chennai has made us realize the importance of saving water more than ever. Water, as we all know, is a finite resource without which our planet would be a barren wasteland. Today with our increasing population it would be logical to say that our water consumption has also increased. And with increasing demand and lesser supply, water scarcity arises. Our ancestors who had foreseen the potential dangers of water scarcity had developed methods to conserve water that was suited for the varied terrain of the Tamil-speaking kingdoms.
Traditional Rainwater Conservation methods of Tamil Nadu
Eri
There are no perennial rivers in Tamil Nadu except the Thamirabharani River which flows through Thirunelveli district. And so, several hundred years ago a simple system was devised to utilize the rainwater to the fullest. An Eri or tank system is one of the oldest forms of water conservation systems in India. Many Eris are still in use in Tamil Nadu and play an active role in irrigation. They act as water reservoirs and flood control systems. They prevent soil erosion, recharge groundwater, and prevent wastage of runoff water during heavy rainfall.
Kudimaramathu
Kudimaramathu is one of the old traditional practice of stakeholders participating in the maintenance and management of irrigation systems. During earlier days, citizens of a village used to actively participate in maintaining the water bodies of their village by deepening and widening the lakes and ponds and restoring the water bodies back to their original form. The silt, rich in nutrients, collected in the process would be used by the farmers themselves in their field. A sense of collective ownership ensured the continued survival of the water bodies.
Answer: both compounds have ionic bond between metal and non-metal
Explanation: both Sr and Mg are earth alkaline metals and form ions Mg^2+
And Sr^2+. Br forms ion Br^- and S ion is S^2+.
Answer:
15.0 L
Explanation:
To find the volume, you need to use the Ideal Gas Law:
PV = nRT
In this equation,
-----> P = pressure (mmHg)
-----> V = volume (L)
-----> n = moles
-----> R = Ideal Gas constant (62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K)
-----> T = temperature (K)
To calculate the volume, you need to (1) convert grams C₄H₁₀ to moles (via the molar mass), then (2) convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, and then (3) calculate the volume (via the Ideal Gas Law).
Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 4(12.011 g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol)
Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 58.124 g/mol
32 grams C₄H₁₀ 1 moles
------------------------- x ----------------------- = 0.551 moles C₄H₁₀
58.124 grams
P = 728 mmHg R = 62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K
V = ? L T = 45.0 °C + 273.15 = 318.15 K
n = 0.551 moles
PV = nRT
(728 mmHg)V = (0.551 moles)(62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K)(318.15 K)
(728 mmHg)V = 10922.7632
V = 15.0 L
