Answer:

The melting of the caps increases the concentration of CO2 in the water, making its absorption faster.

⊱┈────────────────────────⊰

Explanation:

<h2><u>CO2 absorption</u><u> </u></h2>

The polar caps of our planet have in their composition several elements, among them the CO2 that is absorbed by the atmosphere. Cold waters, which are present in the Arctic, have an easier time absorbing CO2 compared to other waters.

When glaciers melt, the CO2 that is present in the mixture is dissolved in the ocean, increasing its concentration. The cold waters that came from the ice caps increase the absorption of CO2.

450g of chromium(iii) sulfate reacts with excess potassium phosphate. How many grams of potassium sulfate will be produced? (ANS

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

1597.959 g

Explanation:

Given Data:

Amount of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ = 450 g

Amount of potassium phosphate K₃PO₄ = in Excess

grams of potassium sulfate K₂SO₄= ?

Solution

The Reaction will be

Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2K₃PO₄ ----------> 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

Information that we have from reaction

Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2K₃PO₄ ----------> 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

1 mol 2 mol 3 mol

we come to know from the above reaction that

1 mole of chromium(iii) sulfate (Cr₂(SO₄)₃) react with 2 mole of potassium phosphate (K₃PO₄) to produce 3 mole of K₂SO₄

We also know that

molar mass of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ = 147 g/mol

molar mass of K₃PO₄ = 212 g/mol

molar mass of K₂SO₄ = 174 g/mol

if we represent mole in grams then

Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2K₃PO₄ ----------> 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

1 mol (147 g/mol) 2 mol (212 g/mol) 3 mol (174g/mol)

So, Now we have the following details

Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2K₃PO₄ ----------> 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

147 g 424 g 522 g

So,

we come to know that 147 g of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ combine with 424 g of 2K₃PO₄ produce 522 g of K₂SO₄

So now we calculate that how many grams of potassium sulfate will be produced

Apply unity formula

147 g of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ ≅ 522 g of K₂SO₄

450 g of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ ≅ ? g of K₂SO₄

by doing cross multiplication

g of K₂SO₄ =522 g x 450 g / 147 g

g of K₂SO₄ = 1597.959 g

So the write answer is 1597.959 g

***Note: By calculation it is obvious that the correct answer is 1597.959 g

Which mineral(s) might you be examining if you place some hydrochloric (hcl) acid on a sample and it fizzes?

makvit [3.9K]

The minerals that one might be examining if you place some hydrochloric acid on a sample and it fizzes are Calcite and Dolomite.
Calcite and dolomite are very similar minerals. Both have the same hardness, the same rhombohedral cleavage, and are found in identical geologic settings. The best way to tell one from the other is the acid test; A drop of 1 M HCl on calcite produces an instant , obvious Fizz; a drop on dolomite produces slow or no obvious bubbling.
