Answer:

It's groundwater becomes contaminated.

Explanation:

More than 94% of the coal ash ponds in the United States are unlined. Almost all of them are contaminating groundwater with toxins above levels that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency deems safe for drinking water.

If you had common sense you wouldn't be asking this question.

Write the complete ionic equations, spectator ions and net ionic equation for the following.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) ZnBr₂ (aq) + AgNO₃ (aq)

Chemical equation:

 ZnBr₂ (aq) + AgNO₃ (aq)  →Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + AgBr(s)

Balanced chemical equation:

ZnBr₂ (aq) + 2AgNO₃ (aq)  →Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2AgBr(s)

Ionic equation:

Zn²⁺(aq) + Br₂²⁻ (aq) + 2Ag⁺ (aq)+ 2NO⁻₃ (aq)  → Zn²⁺(aq) +(NO₃)₂²⁻(aq) + 2AgBr(s)

Net ionic equation:

Br₂²⁻ (aq) + 2Ag⁺ (aq)   →    2AgBr(s)

The Zn²⁺((aq) and NO⁻₃ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The AgBr can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

2) HgCl₂ (aq) + KI (aq)  →

Chemical equation:

HgCl₂ (aq) + KI (aq)  → KCl + HgI₂

Balanced chemical equation:

HgCl₂ (aq) + 2KI (aq)  → 2KCl(aq) + HgI₂(s)

Ionic equation:

Hg²⁺(aq)  + Cl₂²⁻  (aq) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2I⁻ (aq)  →  HgI₂ (s) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

Hg²⁺(aq)  + 2I⁻ (aq) →   HgI₂ (s)

The Cl⁻ ((aq)  and K⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The HgI₂ (s) can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

 

3) Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq)

Chemical equation:

Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq)  →   CaSO₄(s) + NaOH(aq)

Balanced chemical equation:

Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq)  →   CaSO₄(s) + 2NaOH(aq)

Ionic equation:

Ca²⁺(aq)  + OH₂²⁻  (aq) + 2Na⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq)  →   CaSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

Ca²⁺(aq)   + SO₄²⁻ (aq)  →   CaSO₄(s)

The OH⁻ ((aq)  and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The CaSO₄ can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

Why should we never change a symbol in chemistry?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Chemical symbols are used to standardize the 'language of chemistry' and to identify elements and atoms in a chemical formula easily. Chemical symbols consist of one or two letters, most often derived from the name of the element.

Based on the relative energy of the absorbed electromagnetic radiation, which absorber, a peptide bond or an aromatic side chain
alina1380 [7]

Aromatic side chain exhibits an electronic excited state that is closer in energy to the ground state.

  • In order to respond to this query, we must decide whether a peptide bond or an aromatic side chain is demonstrating an electronic exited state that is more closely related to the ground state in terms of energy.
  • When our energy is as low as possible, we are in the ground state.
  • What I want to point out is that if we can choose between the two options—peptide bond or aromatic side chain—without knowing the specific reasons, we can immediately rule out two potential answers.
  • Consider what we already know about energy, we have:

                                 E = h x c/λ

  • That indicates that when we have more energy, a wavelength decreases. Lower energy corresponds to higher wavelength.
  • Aromatic side chains absorb between 250 and 290 nm, while peptide bonds do so between 190 and 250 nm.
  • According to our breakdown, we have an electron excited state that is more closely related to the ground state in terms of energy as wavelength increases.

Thus, Aromatic side chain exhibits an electronic excited state that is closer in energy to the ground state.

9) After lab, all of Darrel’s friends looked at his data and laughed and laughed. They told him that he was 30.8% too low in the
zaharov [31]
If he was 30.8% too low, it means that he was at 69.2% of the boiling point needed. So 50o C is 69.2% of total.

In order to know what 100% is, you can divide the number by it's percentage and then multiply it by a hundred.

So: 50/30.8=1.623
1.623*100=162.3
So the correct boiling point of the liquid he was working with in the lab is 162.3 oC

Zn-64 = 48.63%
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

A = 65.46 u

Explanation:

Given that,

The composition of zinc is as follows :

Zn-64 = 48.63%

Zn-66 = 27.90%

Zn-67 = 4.10%

Zn-68 = 18.75%

Zn-70 = .62%

We need to find the  average atomic mass of the given element. It can be solved as follows :

A=\dfrac{48.63\times 64+27.90\times 66+4.1\times 67+18.75\times 68+0.62\times 70}{100}\\A=65.46\ u

So, the average atomic mass of zinc is 65.46 u.
