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.
The excess acid is neutralized by adding base which produces salt and water and thus decrease the acidity.
Adding more acid would increase the acidity further.

<u>Answer:</u> The temperature of the system is 273 K
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
Given mass of carbon dioxide = 1 lb = 453.6 g (Conversion factor: 1 lb = 453.6 g)
Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
To calculate the temperature of gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
where,
P = Pressure of carbon dioxide = 200 psia = 13.6 atm (Conversion factor: 1 psia = 0.068 atm)
V = Volume of carbon dioxide = (Conversion factor:
)
n = number of moles of carbon dioxide = 10.31 mol
R = Gas constant =
T = temperature of the system = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the temperature of the system is 273 K
