How does vegetation slow and prevent sediment loss?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Inga [223]3 years ago
5 0
Vegetation cover is the most effective and practical way to prevent loss of sediment. The roots of vegetation such as grass bind soil particles together to resist erosion especially from runoff water. Vegetation helps absorb the impact of raindrops to prevent detachment of soil particles. Vegetation can flatten act like shingles on a roof, which allows the runoff to flow above the soil. Stiff standing vegetation act as a wind break, reducing wind velocity, such that it is not powerful enough to dislodge sediments from the ground surface.

What mass of chloride gas will react with 96.6g of sodium?
Oduvanchick [21]
Molar mass :

Cl₂ =  71.0 g/mol        Na = 23.0 g/mol

<span>2 Na + Cl</span>₂<span> = 2 NaCl
</span>
2 x 23 g Na -------> 71.0 g Cl₂
96.6 g Na ----------> ?

Mass Cl₂ = ( 96.6 x 71.0 ) / ( 2 x 23 )

Mass Cl₂ = 6858.6 / 46

= 149.1 g of Cl₂

. HELPPP 10 PTS WILL MARK BRAINLEST Explain: A student wants to increase the maximum amount of sugar that can dissolve in water.
Dovator [93]
When the student crushes sugar there there occurs an increase in the number of molecules or particles of sugar. This means that now more number of sugar particles (solute) are able to interact with water (solvent).
Therefore, there will be more number of collisions taking place between the solute and solvent molecules.
As a result, sugar will dissolve readily into water as there is an increase in interaction between solute and solvent particles.
Thus, we can conclude that when he crushes the sugar and then stirs it into the water then it will work as this leads to more interaction or collisions between the solute and solvent particles.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

D). Much lower than  

Explanation:

When a ketone and its enol are in equilibrium, under most conditions the concentration of the enol is <u>Much lower than</u> the concentration of the ketone

because :

Carbon- oxygen bond is more stable(stronger) than Carbon-Carbon Bond

Keto - enol tautomerism is :

H -C-C=O \rightleftharpoons C=C-O-H

Ketone has C=O and enol has C=C

C=O bond energy is 745 kJ/mol

C=C bond energy is 614 kJ/mol
