Answer:

2.951 × 10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

Let's consider the acid reaction of hydrobromic acid according to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory.

HBr(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇒ Br⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

Given the pH = 4.530, we can calculate the concentration of the hydronium ion using the following expression.

pH = -log [H₃O⁺]

[H₃O⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -4.530 = 2.951 × 10⁻⁵ M

How many moles of CO2 would be present in a gas sample of 10 L at 25.0oC and a pressure of .77 atm?

Step2247 [10]

Use PV=nRT to solve the equation. You need to solve for n (number of moles). Don’t forget to convert the temperature to kelvins by adding 25+273. Use 0.082057 for R.

A method used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for determining the concentration of ozone in air is to pass the

baherus [9]

Answer: 1. $9.08\times 10^{-6}$ moles

2. 90 mg

Explanation:

$O_3(g)+2NaI(aq)+H_2O(l) \rightarrow O_2(g)+I_2(s)+2NaOH(aq)$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of ozone is removed by 2 moles of sodium iodide.

Thus $4.54 \times 10^{-6}$ moles of ozone is removed by = $\frac{2}{1}\times 4.54 \times 10^{-6}=9.08\times 10^{-6}$ moles of sodium iodide.

Thus $9.08\times 10^{-6}$ moles of sodium iodide are needed to remove $4.54\times 10^{-6}$ moles of $O_3$

2. $\text{Number of moles of ozone}=\frac{0.01331g}{48g/mol}=0.0003moles$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of ozone is removed by 2 moles of sodium iodide.

Thus 0.0003 moles of ozone is removed by = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.0003=0.0006$ moles of sodium iodide.

Mass of sodium iodide= $moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=0.0006\times 150g/mol=0.09g=90mg$ (1g=1000mg)

Thus 90 mg of sodium iodide are needed to remove 13.31 mg of $O_3$ .
