Answer:

The buildup of sediment where a river empties into a slow-moving or non moving body of water is known as a/an  Delta. A type of soil made almost entirely of windblown sediment is called Loess. The organic matter in soil comes from decaying plants and animals and their waste products. Clay, which is made up of tiny particles and drains water very poorly, is one of the main components of soil. A type of soil called peat is most likely to form in a/an Coastal environment in Tropical setting. Water helps in the development of soil by carrying Mineral and nutrients from upper layers to lower layers. The Richness of nutrients from soil is common in wet environments, like rain forests. Quartz-rich parent material leads to the development of Sandy soils. The layers of soil composed mainly of organic matter are known as the O and A horizon. A layer of soil in which clay, iron, and other elements from the overlying soil accumulates is known as the B horizon, or subsoil.

Explanation:

Delta is said to be a body of sediments deposited when a river flows into a standing water, such as the sea or a lake.

Loess are wind blown deposits of silts and clay composed of quartz, feldspar and other minerals . Loess dominantly have high porosity.

Organic matters compose mainly of remains of animal and plants . After this plants and animals dies they form organic matter that adds to soil nutrients.

Clayey soil constitute very tiny particles that have a poor draining ability due to it tiny poor spaces .

Tropical setting in a coastal environment provides the necessary environments for soils like peat to form . It has abundant of plant remains . Moreover peat is the first stage of coal formation, containing moist and unconsolidated plant materials.

Minerals a part of what assist in the development of the soil .And it is usually carried down to the earth by water through a process called Leaching.

Richness of nutrient are common in tropical environment that are wet and support abundant life.

Sandy soil are formed from parents materials containing minerals such as feldspar and quartz.

Horizon O and A are known as topsoil and are mainly compose of animal and plants remains and large amount of minerals.

The subsoil or B Horizons contains mineral such as irons , clay minerals due to percolation from the top soils and it tends to accumulate here(subsoil).

Answer:

River Delta

Explanation:

A river delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment. A delta is a sediment and silt deposited landform formed by rivers in their lower course right at the point where they enter the sea.

What is the sequence of energy transformations that occur in a nuclear reactor? nuclear energy Right arrow. Mechanical energy Ri
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

NUCLEAR ENERGY -----> MECHANICAL ENERGY -------> THERMAL ENERGY --------> ELECTRICAL ENERGY

Explanation:

In nuclear reactor, various energy transformations occur in order to generate electricity. Nuclear reactor converts the energy released from nuclear fission and the heat generated is removed from the reactor by a cooling system where steam is generated. The steam then drives a turbine which powers a generator to produce electricity.

A nuclear reactor is hence an equipment where nuclear chain reactions occur and control can be obtained. The nuclear reactor uses mostly uranium-235 and Plutonium-239. When these radioactive substances absorbs neutrons, they undergo nuclear fission causing the nucleus to split into two or more smaller compounds with  the release of kinetic energy a form of mechanical energy, gamma radiations and others.The kinetic energy is then harnessed in the equipment as heat (thermal energy) which is received by a cooling system and steam is generated. The steam can then power the generator from which electricity is obtained (electrical energy).

So therefore, in a nuclear reactor, the nuclear energy is transformed to mechanical energy and then thermal energy which powers the generation of the electrical energy.

When the reaction CO2(g) + H2(g) ⇄ H2O(g) + CO(g) is at equilibrium at 1800◦C, the equilibrium concentrations are found to be [C
UNO [17]

Answer:

The new molar concentration of CO at equilibrium will be  :[CO]=1.16 M.

Explanation:

Equilibrium concentration of all reactant and product:

[CO_2] = 0.24 M, [H_2] = 0.24 M, [H_2O] = 0.48 M, [CO] = 0.48 M

Equilibrium constant of the reaction :

K=\frac{[H_2O][CO]}{[CO_2][H_2]}=\frac{0.48 M\times 0.48 M}{0.24 M\times 0.24 M}

K = 4

CO_2(g) + H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons H_2O(g) + CO(g)

Concentration at eq'm:

0.24 M          0.24 M                 0.48 M            0.48 M

After addition of 0.34 moles per liter of CO_2 and H_2 are added.

(0.24+0.34) M    (0.24+0.34) M  (0.48+x)M         (0.48+x)M

Equilibrium constant of the reaction after addition of more carbon dioxide and water:

K=4=\frac{(0.48+x)M\times (0.48+x)M}{(0.24+0.34)\times (0.24+0.34) M}

4=\frac{(0.48+x)^2}{(0.24+0.34)^2}

Solving for x: x = 0.68

The new molar concentration of CO at equilibrium will be:

[CO]= (0.48+x)M = (0.48+0.68 )M = 1.16 M

Which mass of gas would occupy a volume of 3dm3 at 25°C and 1 atmosphere pressure?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

C 8.09 SO2 gas

Explanation:

As we have the volume (3dm³ = 3L), temperature (25°C + 273 = 298K), and pressure (1atm), we can solve to moles of gas using:

PV = nRT

PV / RT = n

1atm*3L / 0.082atmL/molK*298K =¨

0.123 moles of gas you have.

Now, to convert these moles to mass we use molar mass (32g/mol for O2, 28g/mol for N2, 64g/mol for SO2, and 44g/mol for CO2).

Mass of 0.123 moles of these gases is:

O2 = 0.123 moles * 32g/mol = 3.94g of O2. A is wrong

N2 = 0.123 moles * 28g/mol = 3.4g of N2. B is wrong

SO2 = 0.123 moles * 64.1g/mol = 7.9g of SO2≈ 8.09g of SO2, C is possible

CO2 = 0.123 moles * 44g/mol = 5.4g of CO2. D is wrong

Right answer is:

<h3>C 8.09 SO2 gas </h3>

(ii) When shale gas is burned, the hydrogen sulfide reacts with oxygen.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Now , we have the equation of the reaction as;

2H2S(g) + 302(g)------->2SO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

This equation shows that SO2 gas is produced in the process. Let us recall that this same SO2 gas is the anhydride of H2SO4. This means that it can dissolve in water to form H2SO4

So, when SO2 dissolve in rain droplets, then H2SO4 is formed thereby lowering the pH of rain water. This is acid rain.

Using the solubility curve, what is the effect of increased temperature on the solubility of KBr in 100 grams of water? The solu
galina1969 [7]
The graph is needed to answer this question.

Solubility may increase or decrease with temperature depending on the properties of the solute and the solvent.

It is quite common that the solubility of the ionic compounds, like KBr, in water increases with temperature.

Use your solubility curve for the KBr and you wiil see a line that starts at a solubility a little greater than 50 grams of the salt in 100 grams of water for temperaute 0°C and increase linearly until almost 100 grams of the salt in 100 grams of water at 100°C.

So, in this case you can affirm that the solubility of KBr increases with the temperature.

Answer: the second option: the solubility increases.
