Answer: Ocean acidification

Explanation:

Driving cars can lower the pH of ocean by release of carbon dioxide in the environment. The release of carbon dioxide in the environment gets diffused in the water and increases the pH of water.

The carbon dioxide gets dissolved in water and forms carbonic acid which is harmful for the aquatic animals as it degrades their shells and can kill aquatic animals.

hence, the answer is ocean acidification.

2.40 - 1.68 =0.72 g of oxigen
moles = 0.72/16 g/mol=0.045

moles x = 1.68/ 55.9=0.03

0.03/0.03 = 1 = x
0.045 / 0.03 = 1.5 = O

to get whole numbers multiply by 2

Analyze how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect in our everyday lives. Use examples to support your statements.

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

For example, friction between our shoes and the floor stop us from slipping and friction between tyres and the road stop cars from skidding. Friction is sometimes unhelpful. For example, if you don't lubricate your bike regularly with oil, the friction in the chain and axles increases.

A metallurgical firm wishes to dispose of 1200 gallons of waste sulfuric acid whose molarity is 1.05 M. Before disposal, it will

Reil [10]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation for this process:

$H_2SO_4(aq)+Ca(OH)_2(s)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+CaSO_4(aq)$

$194.51 is the cost that the firm will incur from this use of slaked lime.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for this process

$H_2SO_4(aq)+Ca(OH)_2(s)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+CaSO_4(aq)$

Moles of sulfuric acid = n

Volume of sulfuric acid disposed = V = 1200 gallons = 3.785 × 1200 L = 4,542 L

1 gallon = 3.785 Liter

Morality of the sulfuric acid = M = 1.05 m

$Molarity(M)=\frac{n}{V(L)}$

$n=m\times V=1.05 M\times 4,542 L=4,769.1 mol$

According to reaction, 1 mol of sulfuric acid reacts with 1 mole of calcium hydroxide.Then 4,769.1 moles of sulfuric acid will recat with ;

$\frac{1}{1}\times 4,769.1 mol=4,769.1 mol$ of calcium hydroxide

Mass of 4,769.1 moles of calcium hydroxide:

4,769.1 mol 74 g/mol = 352,913.4 g

= $\frac{352,913.4 }{453.6} pounds =778.03 pounds$

(1 pound = 453.6 grams)

Cost of 1 pound of slaked lime = $0.25

Cost of 778.03 pounds of slaked lime = $0.25 × 778.03 = $194.51

$194.51 is the cost that the firm will incur from this use of slaked lime.

A serving of soup contains 5.0 g of fat, 20.0 g of carbohydrates, and 3.0 g of protein. Determine how many kilocalories (kcal) a

marta [7]

Answer: The amount of kilocalories contained in the given serving of soup is 0.137 kCal

Explanation:

As per the USDA:

Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram.

We are given

Mass of fat in the soup serving = 5.0 g

Mass of carbohydrates in the soup serving = 20.0 g

Mass of protein in the soup serving = 3.0 g

Conversion factor used: 1 kCal = 1000 Cal

Applying unitary method:

For Fat:

1 gram of fat provides 9 calories

So, 5.0 gram of fat will provide = $\frac{9}{1}\times 5.0=45Cal=0.045kCal$

For Carbohydrates:

1 gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories

So, 20.0 gram of carbohydrates will provide = $\frac{4}{1}\times 20.0=80Cal=0.080kCal$

For Proteins:

1 gram of proteins provides 4 calories

So, 3.0 gram of fat will provide = $\frac{4}{1}\times 3=12Cal=0.012kCal$

Total kilocalories per serving = [0.045 + 0.080 + 0.012] kCal = 0.137 kCal

Hence, the amount of kilocalories contained in the given serving of soup is 0.137 kCal
