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.

When charging an object by conduction, what happens to the charges in the<br> object?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

During charging by conduction, both objects acquire the same type of charge. If a negative object is used to charge a neutral object, then both objects become charged negatively. In order for the neutral sphere to become negative, it must gain electrons from the negatively charged rod. 3.

The characteristics of two different types of reactions are shown downwards
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Valence electrons are involved in Reaction B but not in Reaction A.

Explanation:

The description of reaction A in which protons are lost or gained by the atom of the element is a nuclear reaction. In nuclear reactions, the nucleons which are the protons and neutrons drives the reaction. No valence electrons in the orbiting shells are involved in this kind of reaction. During this type of reaction, an atom changes it identity to that of another.

Reaction B in which no identity change occurs is a chemical reaction. In chemical reactions bonds are formed by the atoms using the valence electrons that orbits round the central nucleus. The atoms remain the same but it chose to attain stability and an inert configuration by losing or gaining electrons.

Which of the following have the most similar properties?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

             Option-B (Carbon and Silicon)

Explanation:

                  Among the given pairs only carbon and silicon have the most similar properties. This is because,

Sodium and Magnesium belong to different groups. Sodium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Magnesium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 Na  +  Cl₂    →     NaCl

                                           Mg  +  Cl₂    →    MgCl₂

As shown in reactions when Sodium and Magnesium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

Carbon and Silicon show almost same properties because both belong to Group IV hence both are capable of forming four bonds. Also, they share the same property of self linkage in making a long chains.

Argon and Chlorine also belong to two different groups. Argon is present in Group VIII (Noble Gases) and Chlorine is present in Group VII (Halogens). Hence, Argon is an inert specie which is non reactive while Chlorine gives different reaction easily.

Potassium and Calcium belong to different groups. Potassium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Calcium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 K  +  Cl₂    →     KCl

                                           Ca  +  Cl₂    →    CaCl₂

As shown in reactions when Potassium and Calcium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

At what temperature does 0.019135 moles of Ne in a 878.3 mL container exert a pressure of 0.946 atm?
Reika [66]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Temperature is 529.164 K

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given

Number of moles of Ne (n) =  0.019135 moles

Volume (V) = 878.3 mL

Pressure (P) = 0.946 atm

We are required to calculate the temperature;

We can do this using the ideal gas law equation which is;

PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, n is the number of moles, V is the volume, R is the ideal gas constant (0.082057 Latm/mol/K) and T is the temperature.

From the equation;

T=\frac{PV}{nR}

T = \frac{(0.946)(0.8783)}{(0.082057)(0.019135)}

T=529.164 K

Therefore, the temperature will be 529.164 K.

how much water should be added to 1 gallon of pure antifreeze to obtain a solution that is 60% antifreeze?
antoniya [11.8K]
1 gallon of antifreeze = 60% of mixture. Total mixture:
Vm = 1/0.6
= 1.67 gallons

Volume of water = total vol - antifreeze vol
= 1.67 - 1
= 0.67 gallon of water
