The unsaturated zone is the portion of the subsurface above the groundwater table. The soil and rock in this zone contains air as well as water in its pores. ... Unlike the aquifers of the saturated zone below, the unsaturated zone is not a source of readily available water for human consumption

What substances make up water?

ziro4ka [17]

A water molecule consists of three atoms; an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, which are bond together like little magnets.

An iron pot is made up of only one substance, iron. Iron is an element classified as a transition metal

Iron. Elementsare pure substances that are made up of one kind of atom. Pizza is not an element because it is a mixture of many substances. Water is a pure substance, but it contains two kindsof atom: oxygen and hydrogen.

Functional group and bond hybridization of vanillin

lana66690 [7]

Vanillin is the common name for 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde.

See attached figure for the structure.

Vanillin have 3 functional groups:

1) aldehyde group: R-HC=O, in which the carbon is double bonded to oxygen

2) phenolic hydroxide group: R-OH, were the hydroxyl group is bounded to a carbon from the benzene ring

3) ether group: R-O-R, were hydrogen is bounded through sigma bonds to carbons

Now for the hybridization we have:

The carbon atoms involved in the benzene ring and the red carbon atom (from the aldehyde group) have a <u>sp²</u> hybridization because they are involved in double bonds.

The carbon atom from the methoxy group (R-O-CH₃) and the blue oxygen's have a <u>sp³</u> hybridization because they are involved only in single bonds.

Pressure gauge at the top of a vertical oil well registers 140 bars. The oil well is 6000 m deep and filled with natural gas dow

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Explanation:

(a) The given data is as follows.

Pressure on top ( $P_{o}$ ) = 140 bar = $1.4 \times 10^{7} Pa$ (as 1 bar = $10^{5}$ )

Temperature = $15^{o}C$ = (15 + 273) K = 288 K

Density of gas = $\frac{PM}{ZRT}$

$\frac{dP}{dZ} = \rho \times g$

$\frac{dP}{dZ} = \int \frac{PM}{ZRT}$

$\int_{P_{o}}^{P_{1}} \frac{dP}{dZ} = \frac{Mg}{ZRT} \int_{0}^{4700} dZ$

$ln (\frac{P_{1}}{P_{o}}) = \frac{18.9 \times 10^{-3} \times 9.81 \times 4700 m}{0.80 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 288 K}$

= 0.4548

$P_{1} = P_{o} \times e^{0.4548}$

= $1.4 \times 10^{7} Pa \times 1.5797$

= $2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa$

Hence, pressure at the natural gas-oil interface is $2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa$ .

(b) At the bottom of the tank,

$P_{2} = P_{1} + \rho \times g \times h$

= 2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa + 700 \times 9.81 \times (6000 - 4700)[/tex]

= $309.8 \times 10^{5} Pa$

= 309.8 bar

Hence, at the bottom of the well at $15^{o}C$ pressure is 309.8 bar.

The carbon-14 content of a wooden harpoon handle found in an Inuit archaeological site was found to be 61.9% of the carbon-14 co

astraxan [27]

Answer:

3,964 years.

Explanation:

It is known that the decay of a radioactive isotope isotope obeys first order kinetics.

Half-life time is the time needed for the reactants to be in its half concentration.

If reactant has initial concentration [A₀], after half-life time its concentration will be ([A₀]/2).

Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.

The half-life of the element is 5,730 years.

For, first order reactions:

<em>k = ln(2)/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).</em>

Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.

t1/2 is the half-life of the reaction.

∴ k =0.693/(t1/2) = 0.693/(5,730 years) = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.

Also, we have the integral law of first order reaction:

<em>kt = ln([A₀]/[A]),</em>

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹).

t is the time of the reaction (t = ??? year).

[A₀] is the initial concentration of the sample ([A₀] = 100%).

[A] is the remaining concentration of the sample ([A] = 61.9%).

∴ t = (1/k) ln([A₀]/[A]) = (1/1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹) ln(100%/61.9%) = 3,964 years.
