Answer: He could add a base to the pool to neutralize the acid.

Explanation:

Chlorine is used to disinfect the pools as it produces hypochlorous acid in water. This hypochlorous acid is unstable and gives hydrochloric acid and nascent oxygen which is used to disinfect.

Cl_2+H_2O\rightarrow HOCl

HOCl\rightarrow HCl+O

The excess acid is neutralized by adding base which produces salt and water and thus decrease the acidity.

Acid+Base\rightarrow Salt+water

Adding more acid would increase the acidity further.

How many grams of Co are needed to react with an excess of fe203 to produce 156.2 g FE? show your work.
Gekata [30.6K]

The reaction is given as

Fe2O3 (s)+ 3CO(g)--->3CO2(g)+ 2Fe(s)

No.of moles=mass in gram/molar mass

As for Fe mole =156.2g/55.847=2.7969~2.797

The ratio b/w CO and Fe is 3:2

Moles of CO needed= 2.797x3/2=4.1955

Mass of CO needed= 4.195mol x 28.01g/mol= 117.515g
