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.
You performed 0 work for the fact that work means the distance of movement made on an object not the amount of force it is exposed to. 0 work because it didn't move
Answer:
Explanation:
When she moved a distance of 1 m from mid point she observe first destructive interference due to two speakers
so we can say that path difference of sound due to two speakers will be equal to half of the wavelength
so path difference is given as
so it will be
now we know that
now frequency of sound is given as
Answer:
the molecular formula for the gas is NO₂
Explanation:
since it contains
Nitrogen = n → 30.45%
Oxygen = o → 69.55%
and 30.45%+69.55% = 100% , then the gas only contains nitrogen and oxygen
Also we know that the proportion of oxygen over nitrogen is
proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = moles of oxygen / moles of nitrogen
since
moles = mass / molecular weight
then for a sample of 100 gr of the unknown gas
mass of oxygen = 69.55%*100 gr = 69.55 gr
mass of Nitrogen = 30.45%*100 gr = 30.45 gr
proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = (mass of oxygen/ molecular weight)/(mass of nitrogen / molecular weight of nitrogen ) = (69.55 gr/ 16 gr/mol) /( 30.45 gr /14 gr/mol) = 1.998 mol of O/ mol of N≈ 2 mol of O/ mol of N
therefore there are 2 atoms of oxygen per atom of nitrogen
thus the molecular formula for the gas is:
NO₂
Answer:
An object decreases in size due to the collision of materials. An object increases in size due to the addition of materials. Gas particles are formed from solar nebula materials.
