Where did they start water conservation in tamil nadu . short answer

Explanation:

The 2019 water crisis in Chennai has made us realize the importance of saving water more than ever. Water, as we all know, is a finite resource without which our planet would be a barren wasteland. Today with our increasing population it would be logical to say that our water consumption has also increased. And with increasing demand and lesser supply, water scarcity arises. Our ancestors who had foreseen the potential dangers of water scarcity had developed methods to conserve water that was suited for the varied terrain of the Tamil-speaking kingdoms.

Traditional Rainwater Conservation methods of Tamil Nadu

Eri

There are no perennial rivers in Tamil Nadu except the Thamirabharani River which flows through Thirunelveli district. And so, several hundred years ago a simple system was devised to utilize the rainwater to the fullest. An Eri or tank system is one of the oldest forms of water conservation systems in India. Many Eris are still in use in Tamil Nadu and play an active role in irrigation. They act as water reservoirs and flood control systems. They prevent soil erosion, recharge groundwater, and prevent wastage of runoff water during heavy rainfall.

Kudimaramathu

Kudimaramathu is one of the old traditional practice of stakeholders participating in the maintenance and management of irrigation systems. During earlier days, citizens of a village used to actively participate in maintaining the water bodies of their village by deepening and widening the lakes and ponds and restoring the water bodies back to their original form. The silt, rich in nutrients, collected in the process would be used by the farmers themselves in their field. A sense of collective ownership ensured the continued survival of the water bodies.

What is the [h​3​o​+​] in a solution that consists of 1.0 m nh​3​ and 2.5 m nh​4​cl? [k​b​ (nh​3​) = 1.8 ×10​-5​]a) 1.1 × 10​-5​
Archy [21]

Answer:

[H₃O⁺] = 1.4 × 10⁻⁹ M.

Explanation:

NH₄Cl is a salt that dissolves well in water. The 2.5 M NH₄Cl will give an initial NH₄⁺ concentration of 2.5 M.

NH₃ is a weak base. It combines with water to produce NH₄⁺ and OH⁻. The opposite process can also take place. NH₄⁺ combines with OH⁻ to produce NH₃ and H₂O. The final H₃O⁺ concentration can be found from the OH⁻ concentration. What will be the final OH⁻ concentration?

Let the increase in OH⁻ concentration be x. The initial OH⁻ concentration at room temperature is 10⁻⁷ M.

Construct a RICE table for the equilibrium between NH₃ and NH₄⁺:

\begin{array}{c|ccccccc}\text{R}&\text{NH}_3 &+&\text{H}_2\text{O}&\rightleftharpoons &{\text{NH}_4}^{+}&+&\text{OH}^{-}\\\text{I}&1.0&&&&2.5&&1.0\times 10^{-7}\\\text{C}& -x &&&& +x &&+x\\\text{E} &1.0 - x &&&&2.5+x&&1.0\times 10^{-7}+x\end{array}.

The \text{K}_b value for ammonia is small. The value of x will be so small that at equilibrium, 1.0 - x \approx 1.0 and 2.5- x \approx 2.5.

\displaystyle \text{K}_b = \frac{[{\text{NH}_4}^{+}]\cdot [{\text{OH}}^{-}]}{[\text{NH}_3]} \approx \frac{2.5\;(x + 1.0\times 10^{-7})}{1.0}.

\displaystyle \frac{2.5\;(x + 1.0\times 10^{-7})}{1.0} = 1.8\times 10^{-5}.

\displaystyle [\text{OH}^{-}] = x+1.0\times 10^{-7} = 1.8\times 10^{-5} /\left(\frac{2.5}{1.0}\right) = 7.2\times 10^{-6}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{L}^{-}.

Again, \text{K}_w = 1.0\times 10^{-14} at room temperature.

\displaystyle [\text{H}_3\text{O}^{+}] = \frac{\text{K}_w}{[\text{OH}^{-}]}=\frac{1.0\times 10^{-14}}{7.2\times 10^{-6}} = 1.4\times 10^{-9} \;\text{mol}\cdot\text{L}^{-1}

Why are coastal zones productive?
Anit [1.1K]

The surface waters in regions of coastal up-welling are cold and nutrient-rich, promoting robust growth of plants and the animals that feed on them. ... When too many nutrients are released into seas, bays, and estuaries, it can create an overabundance of decaying plants and animals, depleting oxygen from the water.
