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.
Answer:
Tom is correct. The rate of reaction of Crystal violet and NaOH is first order with respect to NaOH, hence, a higher concentration of NaOH corresponds to a higher rate of reaction; a faster reaction.
This means the speed of cleaning depends on the concentration of the lye used.
Explanation:
The reaction between Crystal violet and NaOH, represented as
CV⁺ + OH⁻ → CVOH
It is a reaction that is know to turn the violet colour of the crystal violet colourless.
The rate of the reaction is also known to be second order; first order with respect to Crystal violet and first order with respect to NaOH.
This means that the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of NaOH provided all other parameters such as the rate constant and the concentration of Crystal violet are constant.
Hence, the reaction becomes faster with an increased concentration of NaOH.
So, Tom is right, concentrated lye solution would remove the stain faster.
Bob is wrong.
Hope this Helps!!!
Answer:
Explanation:
Unclear question.
I infer you want a clear rendering, which reads;
A 258.4 g sample of ethanol (C2H5OH) was burned in a calorimetric pump using a Dewar glass. As a consequence, the water temperature rose to 4.20 ° C.
If the heat capacity of the water and the surrounding glass was 10.4 kJ / ° C, calculate the heat of combustion of one mole of ethanol.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Your answer would be A because Earth is formed from cold gases collapsing due to gravity. The Solar System was formed when a huge amount of dust and gas began to collapse under its own gravity, and as the cloud collapse it started to spin causing the material within the cloud to gather into a swirl and then formed into planets and as the planets are formed they kept this spinning motion.
Answer:
It means the chemical entity is a radical
Explanation:
When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.
While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.
In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.
Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?
The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.
Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.
