which of the following statements about the chemical kinetics are true/

a) temperature has no effect on the rate of a reaction

b) changes in reactant concentration do not affect the rate at which a reaction occurs

c) the addition of a catalyst to a reaction will speed up the reaction but it will not ultimately result in a larger mass of product

d) for the same reactants, the larger the surface area, the slower a reaction will occur

why?

A site is underlain by

sand (0 to 3 meters; unit weights = 18 and 20 kN/m ³, K = 0.5, e ₀ = 0.55, and OCR = 1); followed by

clay (3 to 8 meters; unit weights = 20 and 22 kN/m ³, K = 0.6, c _r = 0.02, c _c = 0.3, c _v = 0.2 m ²/day, e ₀ = 0.8, and OCR = 2); followed by

gravel (8 to 10 meters; unit weights = 18 and 20 kN/m ³, K = 0.5, e ₀ = 0.62, and OCR = 1); followed by

rock. The unit weight of water is 10 kN/m ³. The water table is at the ground surface.

Utilize a point in the middle of the clay layer to determine the ultimate consolidation settlement of the clay layer if a 150 kPa fill is placed on the site. Express your answer in meters, but only write the numeric value in the text box.  Suggestion: draw the profile on paper.

Correct Answer is 0.2 m

below are the risks of the andersons dam. identify two actions that could be taken by system owners or users to manage these risks. Additionally, explain whether these management actions would eliminate, mitigate, or have little effect on the level of risk that you assessed?

risks of the anderson dam

-The high intensity rainfall may cause the frequent cases of over spilling resulting in over topping of the dam during high intensity earthquake.

-Earth quakes may cause over flooding of dam therby destabilizing its underneath soil resulting in a huge risk to the life of the people and their belongings.

What are some of the key characteristics of a professional letter, such as an introductory letter by which a company seeks to attract clients and initiate a business relationship with owner firms? Focus your discussion on the characteristics that primarily define the letter content. Apart from effective communication with potential customers, what do you think

The construction cost of a parking facility on a local university campus is $200,000. Assume that

maintenance will begin on the facility at the end of the third year of operation, and will increase by

$500/year until the end of the useful life of the facility. Maintenance costs are expected to accrue to

$2,000 during the third year of operation. If the interest rate is 7%, and the facility is expected to last

25 years, find the following (5 points):

a) The present worth of the maintenance costs of the facility (2 points)

b) The facility’s annual maintenance costs. (2 points)

c)

The university wants to charge an annual decal rate of $200/year. Is this a good economic

decision if there are 50 spaces in the parking facility? (1 point)
