Mercury (Hg) is present in trace amounts in coal, ranging from 50.0 to 200.0 ppb. A typical power plant burns 1.49 million tons

of coal per year. Calculate tons of mercury in the coal based on the lower (50.0 ppb) and higher (200.0 ppb) concentrations.

Answer and Explanation:

To calculate this, simply use an equality of proportions:

50 particles  :  1 billion particles = <em>x</em> tons  :  1.49 million tons

The value of <em>x</em> can be solved for by multiplying the ratio on the left by the value 1.49 million / 1 billion:

So, <em>x</em> = (50)(0.00149) tons = 0.0745 tons

Then, do the same thing for the larger concentration:

<em>x</em> = (200)(0.00149) tons = 0.298 tons

4. A bird left its post and
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

It is a right triangle

Explanation:

We are given the directions in which a bird flew to make a triangle.

We are required to determine whether the triangle is right angle.

What is a right triangle?

  • It is a triangle that has a right angle between the shorter sides or legs
  • The triangle also obeys the Pythagoras theorem, such that the square of the two legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
  • Such that if the two legs are, a and b while c is the hypotenuse.

Then, a² + b² = c²

In this case;

Taking the legs as a= 21 yards and b = 72 yards and the hypotenuse, c = 75 yards.

Then we can determine whether it is a right triangle;

a² = 21² = 441

b²= 72² = 5184

c² = 75² = 5625

a² + b² = 5625

Therefore; a² + b² = c²

Hence, the triangle is right triangle.

The burning of propane gas can be represented as a balanced chemical reaction as follows: C3H8(g)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(g) Calcula
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: 20L of H2O

Explanation:

C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O

Recall 1mole of a gas contains 22.4L at stp

5moles of O2 contains = 5 x 22.4 = 112L

4moles of H2O contains = 4 x 22.4 = 89.6L

From the equation,

112L of O2 produced 89.6L H2O

There for 25L of O2 will produce XL of H2O i.e

XL of H2O = (25 x 89.6)/112 = 20L

How should the enthalpy of an intermediate step be manipulated when used to produce an overall chemical equation?
White raven [17]
The enthalpy of an intermediate step should be manipulated when used to produce an overall equation by using the Hess's law. You could multiply the enthalpy by -1 if this equation is reversed in theory.
