Question
How can domestic waste be used as manure?
✓

Answer

Depending upon the nature of the waste, domestic waste can be segregated into two categories i.e., biodegradable and non–biodegradable. Biodegradable waste such as leaves, rotten food, etc. should be deposited in landfills, where they get decomposed aerobically and an aerobically into manure. Non-biodegradable waste (which cannot be degraded) such as plastic, glass, metal scraps etc. should be sent for recycling.

For real gases the relation between p, V and T is given by van der Waals equation:
$\Big(\text{P}+\frac{\text{an}^2}{\text{V}^2}\Big)(\text{V}-\text{nb})=\text{nRT}$
Where ‘a’ and ‘b’ are van der Waals constants, ‘nb’ is approximately equal to the total volume of the molecules of a gas.
‘a’ is the measure of magnitude of intermolecular attraction.
  1. Arrange the following gases in the increasing order of ‘b’. Give reason. $O_2, CO_2, H_2, He.$
  2. Arrange the following gases in the decreasing order of magnitude of ‘a’. Give reason.$CH_4, O_2, H_2.$
