Answer: The mass of water that is needed to dissolve the given amount of potassium nitrate is 1263.1g

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of solvent for given molality of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

where,

Molality of the solution = 0.1982 m

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute $(KNO_3)$ = 25.31 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute $(KNO_3)$ = 101.1 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (water) = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.1982=\frac{25.31\times 1000}{101.1\times \text{Mass of water}}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=\frac{25.31\times 1000}{101.1\times 0.1982}=1263.1g$

Hence, the mass of water that is needed to dissolve the given amount of potassium nitrate is 1263.1g

Solution:

Molality:-It is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution in terms of amount of substance in a specified amount of mass of the solvent

Therefore,

Molality = moles solute / kg solvent

Therefore kg solvent = moles solute / molality

moles solute = mass / molar mass

= 25.31 g / 101.1 g/mole

= 0.2503 mole

kg solvent = 0.2503 mole / 0.1982 m

= 1.263 kg

= 1263 g

This is the required answer.

Answer:

The consequences of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has contributed to increased runoff and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waters and causing declines in fish and other animals.

We can protect the community from soil erosion by -:

Maintaining a good, perennial cover for plants.

From mulching.

Planting a crop for cover

Explanation:

SOIL EROSION -: The soil erosion mechanism is both natural and man-made. In nature, this refers to the removal of the top layer of soil caused by wind and water, while human activity may increase exposure to these elements.

MAJOR EFFECTS OF SOIL EROSION -:

Pollution and Low Water Quality -: Sedimentation is created by gradual soil erosion, a process by which rocks and minerals in the soil are separated from the soil and deposited elsewhere, often in streams and rivers. Soil contaminants, such as fertilizers and pest control agents, often settle in the streams and rivers to protect crops. Water contaminants contribute to low water quality, including drinking water quality, if the contaminants are not removed prior to ingestion. As sunlight can get through the sediment, sedimentation also leads to the excessive growth of algae. According to the World Wildlife Fund, high levels of algae drain too much oxygen from the water, resulting in the mortality of marine species and reduced fish stocks.
Structural Issues and Mudslides -: Soil erosion contributes to mudslides, impacting the stability of buildings and roadways and their structural integrity. Mudslides affect not only soil-supported structures, but also buildings and roads that are in the path of slides. Mudslides occur when, as a result of the intensity and energy of heavy rainfall, fine sand , clay, silt, organic matter and soil spill off the sides of hills and slopes. According to Envirothon, a program of the National Conservation Foundation and North America's largest high school environmental education competition, this runoff happens rapidly, because there is not enough time for the surface to reabsorb or catch the eroding soil.
Flooding and Deforestation -: Deforestation erodes soil — the removal of trees to create space for towns and agriculture. Trees help to maintain soil in place, so winds and rains drive the loose soil and rocks to streams and rivers when they are uprooted, resulting again in unnecessary sedimentation. The thick layers of sediment keep streams and rivers from flowing smoothly, ultimately contributing to flooding. Excess water, especially during rainy seasons and when the snow melts, gets trapped by the sediment and has nowhere to go except back on land.

The Deterioration of Soil -: Soil nutrient depletion is often the result of poorly performed cultivation and cultivation practices that contribute to soil erosion. For natural vegetation and agricultural purposes, excessive irrigation and obsolete tilling practices decrease the amount of nutrients in the soil and make it less fertile.

PROTECTION OF COMMUNITY FROM SOIL EROSION -

Maintaining a good, perennial cover for plants -: Your perennial garden's care and upkeep need not be difficult or overwhelming. A blend of certain simple horticultural values with common sense and a good eye is a great part of good gardening.
MULCHING -: The amount of water that evaporates from your soil will be reduced by mulch, greatly reducing the need to water the plants. By breaking up clay and permitting better movement of water and air through the soil. Mulch supplements sandy soil with nutrients and enhances its ability to retain water.

PLANTING A CROP FOR COVER -: Winter rye in vegetable gardens, for instance. This includes annual grasses, small grains , legumes and other forms of vegetation that have been planted to provide temporary vegetative cover. Cover crops are also often tilled as a 'green manure' crop under serving.

What two-step process separated the cans into aluminum, steel, and tin?

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Magnet

Durability and heaviness.(texture)

Explanation:

Magnet can be use to separate Aluminum from mixture of steel and aluminum.

Though aluminum and steel look alike but magnet can be use to separate it.

If the can attract the magnet or magnet stick to the can, it is a steel can. Aluminum does not stick to magnet.

A mixture of Aluminum and tin can also be separated by magnet.

Tin attract magnet but tin is more durable, heavy and does not corrode easily.

When u touch the three cans, tin is heavy and durable.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Mitochondria are abundantly present in mammalian cells. Their fraction varies from tissue to tissue, ranging from <1% (volume) in white blood cells to 35% in heart muscle cells. However, mitochondria should not be thought of as single entities, but rather a dynamic network that continuously undergoes fission and fusion processes. In skeletal muscle, mitochondria exist as a reticular membrane network. The subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondria are located in distinct subcellular regions, and they possess subtle differences in biochemical and functional properties that are characterized by their anatomical locations. SS mitochondria lie directly beneath the sarcolemmal membrane and the IMF mitochondria are located in close contact with the myofibril. Their different properties are likely to influence their capacity for adaptation. SS mitochondria account for 10-15% of the mitochondrial volume and this population has been shown to be more susceptible to adaptation than the IMF mitochondria. However, the IMF mitochondria were found to have higher rates of protein synthesises, enzyme activities and respiration (1).
