Las Vegas, Nevada is in a desert. How does its rapid population growth affect the
water supply? Name at least two specific ways that human activities affect the quality
of groundwater
Answer:
Many areas of the United States experience explosive population growth. The more people that reside someplace, the more demand there is for water there. Often these urban-growth expansions are unplanned and place extraordinary stress on the water supply system, mainly on the groundwater. The stress often depletes groundwater supply, thereby causing wells to dry up. Then water must be brought from somewhere else to support the local population.
Such situations have occurred all over the United States. For example, increased population growth in the southwestern United States has significantly lowered the water table 50 to 200 feet (depending on the area) since the 1940s. Managing urban growth, efforts to reduce water demand, conservation of the resource, and attempts to increase the water supply all address the problem of exceeding water resource limits.
Human activities affect groundwater quality.
Here are some sources and possible solutions to groundwater pollution:
Agriculture—Reduce usage of pesticides and fertilizers.
Landfills—Monitor for leakage and repair linings.
Underground storage tanks—Remove damaged and unused tanks.
Household wastes—Properly dispose of household hazardous waste.
Septic tank leaks—Properly maintain and repair tanks.

In a vacuum, if a 0.045 kg golf ball is accelerated upward at 2.5 m/s2 by a hair dryer, how much force is required to accelerate the ball?
Answer:
F = 0.553 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a golf ball, m = 0.045 kg
Acceleration in upward direction, a = 2.5 m/s²
We need to find the force is required to accelerate the ball. Let the force be F. Using the second law of motion as follows :
F = m(a+g)
So,
F = 0.045 (2.5+9.8)
F = 0.553 N
So, the force required to accelerate the ball is 0.553 N.

The first excited electronic energy level of the helium atom is 3.13 x 10-18 J above the ground level. Estimate the temperature at which the electronic motion will begin to make a significant contribution to the heat capacity. That is, at what temperature will the ratio of the population of the first excited state to the ground state be 5.0%?
Answer:
75603.86473 K
Explanation:
Given that:
The 1st excited electronic energy level of He atom = 3.13 × 10⁻¹⁸ J
The objective of this question is to estimate the temperature at which the ratio of the population will be 5.0 between the first excited state to the ground state.
The formula for estimating the ratio of population in 1st excited state to the ground state can be computed as:
[tex]\dfrac{N_2}{N_1} = e ^{^{-\dfrac{(E_2-E_1)}{KT}}} = e ^{^{-\dfrac{(\Delta E)}{KT}}}[/tex]
From the above equation:
Δ E = energy difference = 3.13 × 10⁻¹⁸ J
k = Boltzmann constant = 1.38 × 10⁻²³ J/K
[tex]\dfrac{N_2}{N_1} = 0.5[/tex]
Thus:
[tex]0.05 =e^{^{ -\dfrac{3.13 \times 10^{-18} \ J}{1.38\times 10^{-23 \ J/K}\times T}}}[/tex]
[tex]In (0.05) = { -\dfrac{3.13 \times 10^{-18} \ J}{1.38\times 10^{-23 \ J/K}\times T}}}[/tex]
[tex]-3.00 = { -\dfrac{3.13 \times 10^{-18} \ J}{1.38\times 10^{-23 \ J/K}\times T}}}[/tex]
[tex]-3.00 = -226811.5942 \times \dfrac{1}{T}[/tex]
[tex]T = \dfrac{-226811.5942}{-3.00 }[/tex]
T = 75603.86473 K

Describe the role of chloroplasts in photosynthesis. (ASAP)
Answer:
Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant. Chloroplasts capture light energy from the sun to produce the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH through a process called photosynthesis.
Explanation:
Describe the process of photosynthesis (including what components get released). ASAP
Answer: It is convenient to divide the photosynthetic process in plants into four stages, each occurring in a defined area of the chloroplast: (1) absorption of light, (2) electron transport leading to the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH, (3) generation of ATP, and (4) conversion of CO2 into carbohydrates (carbon fixation). All four stages of photosynthesis are tightly coupled and controlled so as to produce the amount of carbohydrate required by the plant. All the reactions in stages 1 – 3 are catalyzed by proteins in the thylakoid membrane. The enzymes that incorporate CO2 into chemical intermediates and then convert it to starch are soluble constituents of the chloroplast stroma (see Figure 16-34). The enzymes that form sucrose from three-carbon intermediates are in the cytosol.
Answer:
Glucose gets made using Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. Glucose serves as food for the plant. This was the answer to your question
Explanation:
Nitrogen gas at 300 k and 200 kpa is throttled adiabatically to a pressure of 100 kpa if the change in kinetic energy is negligble the temperature of the nitrogen after throttling will be:_________
Answer:
The temperature of the Nitrogen after throttling is [tex]T_2 = 300 \ K[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The temperature is [tex]T_1 = 300 \ K[/tex]
The pressure is [tex]P = 200 \ kPa = 200 * 10^{3} \ Pa[/tex]
The pressure after being [tex]P_1 = 100 \ kPa = 100 * 10^{3} \ Pa[/tex]
Generally from the first law of thermodynamics we have that
[tex]Q - W = \Delta U + \Delta K[/tex]
Here [tex]\Delta U[/tex] is the change internal energy which is mathematically represented as
[tex]\Delta U = C_p (T_2 - T_1)[/tex]
Here [tex]C_p[/tex] is the specific heat of the gas at constant pressure
[tex]\Delta K[/tex] is the change kinetic energy which is negligible
Q is the thermal energy which is Zero for an adiabatic process
W is the work done and the value is zero given that the gas was throttled adiabatically
So
[tex]0= \Delta U +0[/tex]
=> [tex]\Delta U = 0[/tex]
=> [tex](T_2 - 300) = 0[/tex]
=> [tex]T_2 = 300 \ K[/tex]

Calculate the pH during the titration of 20.00 mL of 0.1000 M trimethylamine, (CH3)3N(aq), with 0.2000 M HClO4(aq) after 9.48 mL of the acid have been added.
Complete Question
Calculate the pH during the titration of 20.00 mL of 0.1000 M trimethylamine, (CH3)3N(aq), with 0.2000 M HClO4(aq) after 9.48 mL of the acid have been added.Kb of trimethylamine = 6.5 x 10-5.
Answer:
The pH is [tex]pH = 9.84[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The volume of trimethylamine, (CH3)3N(aq) is [tex]V_{t} = 20.00mL[/tex]
The concentration of trimethylamine is [tex]C_t = 0.1000 \ M[/tex]
The volume of HClO4(aq) is [tex]V_{h} = 9.48 mL[/tex]
The concentration of HClO4(aq) is [tex]C_h = 0.200 M[/tex]
The Kb value is [tex]K_b = 6.5 * 10^{-5}[/tex]
Generally the the pOH of this reaction is mathematically represented as
[tex]pOH = pK_b + log [\frac{N_h}{N_b} ][/tex]
Here [tex]N_h[/tex] is the number of moles of acid which is evaluated as
[tex]N_h = C_h * V_h[/tex]
=> [tex]N_h = 0.200 * 9.48[/tex]
=> [tex]N_h = 1.896[/tex]
Here [tex]N_t[/tex] is the number of moles of acid which is evaluated as
[tex]N_t = C_t * V_t[/tex]
=> [tex]N_t = 0.100 * 20[/tex]
=> [tex]N_t = 2[/tex]
So
[tex]pOH = -log(K_b) + log [\frac{N_h}{N_b} ][/tex]
[tex]pOH = -log(6.5*10^{-5}) + log [\frac{1.896}{2} ][/tex]
=> [tex]pOH = 4.1639[/tex]
Generally the pH is mathematically represented as
[tex]pH = 14 - pOH[/tex]
=> [tex]pH = 14 - 4.1639[/tex]
=> [tex]pH = 9.84[/tex]
