Chemistry

OleMash [197]2 years ago
6 0

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 do the Roman numerals in a cation's name indicate?
Agata [3.3K]
The Roman numerals in a cation's name indicate: THE POSITIVE CHARGE ON THE CATION

Cations are metallic atoms that loosely hold it electrons, making it easy to lose electrons.

The Roman numerals in a cation's name not only indicates the charge on the cation but it makes it easier to distinguish cations that share the same metal name.

2. Determine the molarity of the NaOH solution in each trial. a. Trial 1 Molarity: b. Trial 2 Molarity: 3. Calculate the average
butalik [34]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but...

1) You can calculate the molarity of the NaOH for each trial by following the steps below.

The formula for Molarity (M) is

M = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)

where the unit of volume must be in Litres or dm³

The unit of molarity is mol/dm³ or mol/L or molar conc (M)

The final answer must have the unit of molarity

If the number of moles is not provided, look out for the mass of NaOH used and then calculate your number of moles (n) as

n = mass of NaOH used ÷ molar mass of NaOH

Where the atomic mass of sodium (Na) is 23, oxygen (O) is 16 and hydrogen (H) is 1. Hence, molar mass for NaOH is 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol

n = mass of NaOH used ÷ 40

2) Average Molarity will be (Trial 1 Molarity +Trial 2 Molarity) ÷ 2

Answer must be in mol/dm³ or mol/L or M

3) Label the volumentric flask containing the NaOH solution with the answer gotten from (2) above

What is the amount of heat released by 1.00 gram of liquid water at 0°C when it changes to 1.00 gram of ice at 0°C?
QveST [7]

Answer:

334J/g

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass (m) = 1g

Specific heat of Fusion (Hf) = 334 J/g

Heat (Q) =?

Using the equation Q = m·Hf, we can obtain the heat released as follow:

Q = m·Hf

Q = 1 x 334

Q = 334J

Therefore, the amount of heat released is 334J
