Why can’t you see the stars very well at night like you could 50 years ago

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elenna [48]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:Artificial light from cities has created a permanent "skyglow" at night, obscuring our view of the stars. Here's their map of artificial sky brightness in North America, represented as a ratio of "natural" nighttime sky brightness. In the black areas, the natural night sky is still (mostly) visible.

What is needed to burn the candle (reactant)?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

wax, candlewick, and oxygen

Explanation:

The burning of the candle is both a physical as well as a chemical change. The reactants are the substances or the raw materials that are required for a reaction to the process. In the process of burning a candle, the reactants are the fuel which includes wax and wick, and oxygen which is found in the air. The products found at the end of the reaction are carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Suppose you have just added 100 ml of a solution containing 0.5 mol of acetic acid per liter to 400 ml of 0.5 m naoh. what is th
Tpy6a [65]

pH = 13.5

Explanation:

Sodium hydroxide completely ionizes in water to produce sodium ions and hydroxide ions. Hydroxide ions are in excess and neutralize all acetic acid added by the following ionic equation:

\text{HAc} + \text{OH}^{-} \to \text{Ac}^{-} + \text{H}_2\text{O}

The mixture would contain

  • 0.4 \times 0.5 - 0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.15 \; \text{mol} of \text{OH}^{-} and
  • 0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.05 \; \text{mol} of \text{Ac}^{-}

if \text{Ac}^{-} undergoes no hydrolysis; the solution is of volume 0.1 + 0.4 = 0.5 \; \text{L} after the mixing. The two species would thus be of concentration 0.30 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1} and 0.10 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}, respectively.

Construct a RICE table for the hydrolysis of \text{Ac}^{-} under a basic aqueous environment (with a negligible hydronium concentration.)

\begin{array}{cccccccc} \text{R} & \text{Ac}^{-}(aq) &+ & \text{H}_2\text{O}(aq) & \leftrightharpoons & \text{HAc}(aq) & + & \text{OH}^{-} (aq)\\ \text{I} & 0.10 \; \text{M} & & & & & &0.30 \; \text{M}\\ \text{C} & -x \; \text{M}& & & & +x \; \text{M}& & +x \; \text{M} \\ \text{E} & (0.10 - x) \; \text{M} & & & & x \; \text{M} & & (0.30 +x) \; \text{M} \end{array}

The question supplied the <em>acid</em> dissociation constant pK_afor acetic acid \text{HAc}; however, calculating the hydrolysis equilibrium taking place in this basic mixture requires the <em>base</em> dissociation constant pK_b for its conjugate base, \text{Ac}^{-}. The following relationship relates the two quantities:

pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = pK_{w} - pK_{a}( \text{HAc})

... where the water self-ionization constant pK_w \approx 14 under standard conditions. Thus pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = 14 - 4.7 = 9.3. By the definition of pK_b:

[\text{HAc} (aq)] \cdot [\text{OH}^{-} (aq)] / [\text{Ac}^{-} (aq) ] = K_b =  10^{-pK_{b}}

x \cdot (0.3 + x) / (0.1 - x) = 10^{-9.3}

x = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} \; \text{M} \approx 0 \; \text{M}

[\text{OH}^{-}] = 0.30 +x \approx 0.30 \; \text{M}

pH = pK_{w} - pOH = 14 + \text{log}_{10}[\text{OH}^{-}] = 14 + \text{log}_{10}{0.30} = 13.5
