Nitrogen and phosphorus leaked into the water systems increase nutrients available for algae, leading to eutrophication. Because of the amount of algae growing in water systems, bacteria use up a huge amount of oxygen during metabolism in order to clear away the algae. As a result there is much less oxygen available for other living things , and thus their oxygen requirement can not be met , and consequently there is a mass death of these organisms.

Estimate the heat of neutralization of H3PO4 in kJ/mol given these data: Heat transferred = 2.2 x 102 J Moles of H3PO4 = 1.5 x 1
barxatty [35]
<span>write out the balance equation
3NaOh+H3PO4->Na3PO4+3H2O
You are given everything needed to calculate
q=heat transfer=2.2*10^2,
H3PO4 moles= 1.5*10^-3,
NaOH moles=5.0*10^-3
equation is deltaHneutraliztion=q/Moles of limiting reagent H3PO4 is limiting reagent because lowest moles, and is used up first
Now plug in variables
DeltaH=2.2*10^2(1.5*10^3)= 146.67kj/mole
Notice we had to convert J to kj,</span>
