What happens when water is added to a sand-salt mixture

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Explanation:

It is known that common salt is NaCl and it is ionic in nature. As all ionic substances are able to dissolve in water because like dissolves like.

Hence, salt will easily dissolve in water.

On the other hand, sand is insoluble in water. Therefore, when sand is added to water then it will not dissolve in water.

Thus, we can conclude that when water is added to a sand-salt mixture then sane being insoluble will not dissolve and it will settle at the bottom after some time. Whereas salt being able to dissolve in water will readily dissolve.

Answer 2
Answer: The salt dissolves in the water and the sand will gather at the bottom.

which contributes to acid rain? A. burning fossil fuels B. nuclear power C. solar power D. hydroelectric power

Answers

The answer is (A) burning fossils fuels releases excess amounts of CO2 ( Carbon dioxide) which reacts with H2O in the atmosphere.
CO2 + H2O -> H2CO3

H2CO3 is known as carbonic acid.
Carbonic acid contributes to problems such as ocean acidification and can dissolve limestone ( CaCO3) sculptures.
Shown by this reaction H2CO3 + CaCO3 -> Ca(HCO3)2 producing Calcium Hydrogen Carbonate.

There are also different causes of acid rain such as Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Oxide (NO) which can cause respiratory problems.

How is groundwater formed?

Answers

Groundwater is formed in one of several ways. It can trickle down through the sand and rock from the rain and other types of precipitation. Groundwater can also come from underground streams or rivers or even from the aquifer that is located beneath the rocks under the ground. This water has existed from the beginning of time and moves through a cycle. It evaporates, becomes rain, falls back to the Earth, and then continues into the ground.
Groundwater is formed when water percolates down through the soil.

Which of the following best describes a mixture? *two or more substances combine and cannot be separated

two or more substances combine chemically

two or more substances combine but keep their physical properties

two or more substances combine and create an irreversible reaction

Answers

Mixtures are combination of two or more substances which can be separated based on their physical properties. Hence, option c best describes a mixture.

What are mixtures?

Mixtures are substances formed by the combination of two or more individual components. The mixing can be of physical or chemical type. The individual components can be separated using some techniques based on their physical properties.

There are both homogenous mixtures and heterogenous mixtures. In homogenous mixtures the components are uniformly mixed and form a single phase.

Heterogenous mixtures are composed of components forming different phases. They can be easily separated using simple techniques. Irrespective of the type of mixing, the physical properties of the components are maintained as such in a mixture. Hence, option c is correct.
