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.
Answer:
Magnification, m = -0.42
Explanation:
It is given that,
Height of diamond ring, h = 1.5 cm
Object distance, u = -20 cm
Radius of curvature of concave mirror, R = 30 cm
Focal length of mirror, f = R/2 = -15 cm (focal length is negative for concave mirror)
Using mirror's formula :
, f = focal length of the mirror


v = -8.57 cm
The magnification of a mirror is given by,


m = -0.42
So, the magnification of the concave mirror is 0.42. Thew negative sign shows that the image is inverted.
The solubility of gases in liquids increases with the increase in pressure.
Answer:
Explanation:
There will not be any internal reflection . it will be only refraction
critical angle = θ
Sinθ = 1 / μg
μg = 1.43 / 1.33 =
Sinθ = 1.33 / 1.43
= .93
θ = 68.44
angle of incidence i = 68.44 / 2
= 34.22
Sin i / Sin r = μw = 1.33 / 1.43
= .93
sin 34.22 / sinθ₁ = .93 , θ₁ is angle of refraction.
sinθ₁ = sin 34.22 / .93
= .5623 / .93
= .6047
θ₁ = 37 degree Ans
