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.

The equation for photon energy, E , is
Sidana [21]

The wavelength of a photon that has an energy of E = 3.69×10−19 J is 5.42 x 10⁻⁷ m.

<h3>What do you mean by wavelength?</h3>

The space between corresponding points (adjacent crests) in adjacent cycles is known as the wavelength () of a waveform signal that is sent in space or down a wire.

The wavelength can be calculated by the given formula

E = hc/λ

Where,  E is energy = 3.65 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h is plank's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.sec

c is speed of light = 2.9 × 10⁸ m/s

Putting the values in the formula

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴)(2.9 × 10⁸) / (3.65 x 10⁻¹⁹) = 5.42 x 10⁻⁷ m.

Thus, the wavelength, λ is 5.42 x 10⁻⁷ m.

What is the Bond Type and Molecular polarity of PCl3?
DedPeter [7]
It is covalent bonding. The electrons are shared between the phosphorus and the chlorines.

covalent bonding is when electrons are shared between two elements.

molecular polarity is a little bit complicated, but I will try to explain ;)
PCl3 is an alternation on tetrahedral molecules.
It means that P has one lone pair of electrons. This pair of electrons are only attracted to the P nuclei and thus a greater freedom of motion.
This means that their orbital is bigger and this pushes the 3 Cl atoms closer together.
The angle between each Cl now is 107 and the angle between Cls and P is greater than 107.
Now, due to this shape, and also electronegativity (Cl is more electronegative than P meaning that it tends to hog the electrons they share closer to itself), PCl3 is polar. Electrons that are shared tend to flow closer towards the Cl than the P side.
Therefore, on the Cl side of the molecule it's, more negative. On the P side, it's more positive.
