What type of weathering is acid rain

Chemistry
1 answer:
snow_tiger [21]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Chemical weathering describes the chemicals in rainwater making changes to the minerals in a rock. Carbon dioxide from the air is dissolved in rainwater making it slightly acidic. A reaction can occur when the rainwater comes into contact with minerals in the rock, causing weathering.

In a room full of air, the air is mainly composed of Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules (both at room temperature). Find (to two sign
zloy xaker [14]

Explanation:

Expression for the v_{rms} speed is as follows.

            v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

where,   v_{rms} = root mean square speed

                     k = Boltzmann constant

                    T = temperature

                    M = molecular mass

As the molecular weight of oxygen is 0.031 kg/mol and R = 8.314 J/mol K. Hence, we will calculate the value of v_{rms} as follows.

               v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

                            = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.02 K}{0.031 kg/mol}}

                            = 498.5 m/s

Hence, v_{rms} for oxygen atom is 498.5 m/s.

For nitrogen atom, the molecular weight is 0.028 kg/mol. Hence, we will calculate its v_{rms} speed as follows.

                v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

                              = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.92 K}{0.028 kg/mol}}

                              = 524.5 m/s

Therefore, v_{rms} speed for nitrogen is 524.5 m/s.

Is cooking raw tomatoes a physical or a chemical change?<br>Explain why?
salantis [7]

When you are asked a question like this, you can always ask yourself this question. Can I change it back after this change? For example, if you are burning wood, you cannot bring it back to wood after you burn it, therefore, it is a chemical change. However, if you boil and evaporate water, you can make the water condense again back into its liquid form. In this case, you cannot bring the tomato back to its raw state. Therefore, cooking raw tomatoes is a chemical change.

A .......... notifies you that danger is present if the directions are not followed.
maksim [4K]

Answer:

A. Warning

Explanation:

Out of all said choices, the best choice would be warning since it would fit the sentence the most.

"A Warning notifies you that danger is present." compared to:

"A Hazard notifies you that danger is present."

"A Safety notifies you that danger is present."

"A Danger notifies you that danger is present."

How is solar power used to generate electricity?
musickatia [10]
This is the shortest answer, you can google: net meter, inverter, solar panels and the roof system for a shorter one.

The roof system

In most solar systems, solar panels are placed on the roof. An ideal site will have no shade on the panels, especially during the prime sunlight hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; a south-facing installation will usually provide the optimum potential for your system, but other orientations may provide sufficient production. Trees or other factors that cause shading during the day will cause significant decreases to power production. The importance of shading and efficiency cannot be overstated. In a solar panel, if even just one of its 36 cells is shaded, power production will be reduced by more than half. Experienced installation contractors such as NW Wind & Solar use a device called a Solar Pathfinder to carefully identify potential areas of shading prior to installation.

Not every roof has the correct orientation or angle of inclination to take advantage of the sun's energy. Some systems are designed with pivoting panels that track the sun in its journey across the sky. Non-tracking PV systems should be inclined at an angle equal to the site’s latitude to absorb the maximum amount of energy year-round. Alternate orientations and/or inclinations may be used to optimize energy production for particular times of day or for specific seasons of the year.

Solar panels

Solar panels, also known as modules, contain photovoltaic cells made from silicon that transform incoming sunlight into electricity rather than heat. (”Photovoltaic” means electricity from light — photo = light, voltaic = electricity.)

Solar photovoltaic cells consist of a positive and a negative film of silicon placed under a thin slice of glass. As the photons of the sunlight beat down upon these cells, they knock the electrons off the silicon. The negatively-charged free electrons are preferentially attracted to one side of the silicon cell, which creates an electric voltage that can be collected and channeled. This current is gathered by wiring the individual solar panels together in series to form a solar photovoltaic array. Depending on the size of the installation, multiple strings of solar photovoltaic array cables terminate in one electrical box, called a fused array combiner. Contained within the combiner box are fuses designed to protect the individual module cables, as well as the connections that deliver power to the inverter. The electricity produced at this stage is DC (direct current) and must be converted to AC (alternating current) suitable for use in your home or business.

Inverter

The inverter is typically located in an accessible location, as close as practical to the modules. In a residential application, the inverter is often mounted to the exterior sidewall of the home near the electrical main or sub panels. Since inverters make a slight noise, this should be taken into consideration when selecting the location.

The inverter turns the DC electricity generated by the solar panels into 120-volt AC that can be put to immediate use by connecting the inverter directly to a dedicated circuit breaker in the electrical panel.

The inverter, electricity production meter, and electricity net meter are connected so that power produced by your solar electric system will first be consumed by the electrical loads currently in operation. The balance of power produced by your solar electric system passes through your electrical panel and out onto the electric grid. Whenever you are producing more electricity from your solar electric system than you are immediately consuming, your electric utility meter will turn backwards!

Net meter

In a solar electric system that is also tied to the utility grid, the DC power from the solar array is converted into 120/240 volt AC power and fed directly into the utility power distribution system of the building. The power is “net metered,” which means it reduces demand for power from the utility when the solar array is generating electricity – thus lowering the utility bill. These grid-tied systems automatically shut off if utility power goes offline, protecting workers from power being back fed into the grid during an outage. These types of solar-powered electric systems are known as “on grid” or “battery-less” and make up approximately 98% of the solar power systems being installed today.
