which soil indicated on the soil triangle above would most likely have the highest water-holding capacity?

1 answer:

4 0

The soil with the highest water-holding capacity in the triangle must be a soil that has a very high percentage of clay soil.

The question is incomplete but I will try to help you the much I can. There are different kinds of soil such as;

Sandy soil
Loamy soil
Clay soil
Silt Soil

The water holding capacity of the various kinds of soil are different. The soil with the least water holding capacity is sandy soil while the soil with the greatest water holding capacity is clay soil.

Hence, the soil with the highest water-holding capacity in the triangle must be a soil that has a very high percentage of clay soil.

A sample consisting of 1.00 mol of perfect gas molecules at 27 °C is expanded isothermally from an initial pressure of 3.00 atm

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a) reversibly

ΔU = 0

q = 2740.16 J

w = -2740.16 J

ΔH = 0

ΔS(total) = 0

ΔS(sys) =9.13 J/K

ΔS(surr) = -9.13 J/K

b) against a constant external pressure of 1.00 atm

ΔU = 0

w = -1.66 kJ

q = 1.66 kJ

ΔH = 0

ΔS(sys) = 9.13 J/K

ΔS(surr) = -5.543 J/K

ΔS(total) = 3.587 J/K

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given:

Number of moles = 1.00 mol

Temperature = 27.00 °C = 300 Kelvin

Initial pressure = 3.00 atm

Final pressure = 1.00 atm

The gas constant = 8.31 J/mol*K

(a) reversibly

Step 2: Calculate work done

For ideal gases ΔU depends only on temperature. So as it is an isothermal (T constant).

Since the temperature remains constant:

ΔU = 0

ΔU = q + w

q = -w

w = -nRT ln (Pi/Pf)

⇒ with n = the number of moles of perfect gas = 1.00 mol

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 8.314 J/mol*K

⇒ with T = the temperature = 300 Kelvin

⇒ with Pi = the initial pressure = 3.00 atm

⇒ with Pf = the final pressure = 1.00 atm

w =- 1*8.314 *300 * ln(3)

w = -2740.16 J

q = -w

q = 2740.16 J

Step 3: Calculate change in enthalpy

Since there is no change in energy, ΔH = 0

Step 4: Calculate ΔS

for an isothermal process

ΔS (total) = ΔS(sys) + ΔS(surr)

ΔS(sys) = -ΔS(surr)

ΔS(sys) = n*R*ln(pi/pf)

ΔS(sys) = 1.00 * 8.314 * ln(3)

ΔS(sys) = 9.13 J/K

ΔS(surr) = -9.13 J/K

ΔS (total) = ΔS(sys) + ΔS(surr) = 0

(b) against a constant external pressure of 1.00 atm

Step 1: Calculate the work done

w = -Pext*ΔV

w = -Pext*(Vf - Vi)

⇒ with Vf = the final volume

⇒ with Vi = the initial volume

We have to calculate the final and initial volume. We do this via the ideal gas law P*V=n*R*T

V = (n*R*T)/P

Initial volume = (n*R*T)/Pi

⇒ Vi = (1*0.08206 *300)/3

⇒ Vi = 8.206 L

Final volume = (n*R*T)/Pf

⇒ Vf = (1*0.08206 *300)/1

⇒ Vf = 24.618 L

The work done w = -Pext*(Vf - Vi)

w = -1.00* ( 24.618 - 8.206)

w = -16.412 atm*L

w = -16 .412 *(101325/1atm*L) *(1kJ/1000J)

w = -1662.9 J = -1.66 kJ

Step 2: Calculate the change in internal energy

ΔU = 0

q = -w

q = 1.66 kJ

ΔH = 0 because there is no change in energy

Step 3: Calculate ΔS

ΔS(sys) = n*R*ln(3)

ΔS(sys) = 1.00 * 8.314 * ln(3)

ΔS(sys) = 9.13 J/K

ΔS(surr) = -q/T

ΔS(surr) = -1662.9J/300K

ΔS(surr) = -5.543 J/K

ΔS(total) = ΔS(surr) +ΔS(sys) = -5.543 J/K + 9.13 J/K = 3.587 J/K

In full detail, explain what happens during the electrolysis of a NaCl brine? Be sure to identify what is being oxidized and wha

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrolysis of aqeous sodium chloride(NaCl)

Electrolysis is a process that converts electrical energy into chemical energy.

Electrolytic processes involves three major steps:

1. Ionization of electrolyte and water

2. Migration of ions to electrodes

3. Discharge of ions at the electrodes.

For the Electrolysis of brine, we follow these three steps:

1. Ionization of the aqeous brine solution:

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻

H₂O ⇄H⁺ + OH⁻

2. Migration of ions to the electrodes

The positive charges Na⁺ and H⁺ would both go to the cathode which is the negatively charged electrode

The negative charges Cl⁻ and OH⁻ migrates to the anode which are the positively charged electrodes. The anode is positively charged electrode.

3. Discharge of ions at the electrodes.

The preferential discharge of ions is based on the activity series and concentration of the ions.

On the activity series H is lower and it discharges preferentially to Na in the cathode:

2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂

At this electrode, the cathode, reduction occurs and H⁺ ions are reduced.

At the anode Cl⁻ and OH⁻ migrates. But Cl⁻ is discharged preferentially due to its higher concentration.

2Cl⁻ ⇄ Cl₂ + 2e⁻

This is the oxidation half and Cl is oxidized

An example of a scientific law is the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in

Amanda [17]

Answer:A) It was developed from past observations- true

It is subject to experimentation and revision.- false

It explains why mass is conserved- false

It predicts future observations-true

Explanation:

Before a hypothesis is proclaimed to be a law in science, numerous observation must have confirmed its validity and rigorous experimentation under carefully controlled conditions usually precedes the acceptance of a hypothesis as a law. The law of conservation of mass was developed from numerous past observation that proved its validity.
