Explanation:
An epidemic (from Greek ἐπί epi "upon or above" and δῆμος demos "people") is the rapid spread of disease to a large number of people in a given population within a short period of time.
Answer:
a) 2 (H+) ions
b) 1 (SO3²-) ions
c) 1.36 × 10^-22 grams.
Explanation:
According to this question, sulfurous acid has a chemical formula; H2SO3. It is made up of hydrogen and sulfite ion. Hydrogen ion (H+) is the cation while sulfite ion (SO32-) is the anion.
Based on the chemical formula, there are 2 moles of hydrogen ions that reacts with 1 mole of sulfite ion as follows:
2H+ + SO3²- → H2SO3
Hence;
- there are 2 hydrogen ions (2H+) present in H2SO3.
- there is 1 sulfite ion (SO3²-) present in H2SO3.
c) The mass of one formula unit of H2SO3 is calculated thus:
= 1.008 (2) + 32.065 + 15.999(3)
= 2.016 + 32.065 + 47.997
= 82.08 a.m.u
Since, 1 gram is = 6.02 x 10^23 a.m.u
82.08 a.m.u = 82.08/6.02 × 10^-23
= 13.6 × 10^-23
= 1.36 × 10^-22 grams.
The equilibrium constant is 0.0022.
Explanation:
The values given in the problem is
ΔG° = 1.22 ×10⁵ J/mol
T = 2400 K.
R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹
The Gibbs free energy should be minimum for a spontaneous reaction and equilibrium state of any reaction is spontaneous reaction. So on simplification, the thermodynamic properties of the equilibrium constant can be obtained as related to Gibbs free energy change at constant temperature.
The relation between Gibbs free energy change with equilibrium constant is ΔG° = -RT ln K
So, here K is the equilibrium constant. Now, substitute all the given values in the corresponding parameters of the above equation.
We get,
So, the equilibrium constant is 0.0022.
The appropriate answer is b. greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane have the ability to trap infrared radiation or heat in the atmosphere. Without these gases the Earth would be thirty degrees cooler than it is today. Pollution today has caused more of these gases to enter the atmosphere and this is the main cause of contemporary global warming.
Ozone in the stratosphere actually blocks another form of radiation called ultraviolet radiation. Geothermal energy is derived from hot rocks inside the earth.
