Answer:

The solution is basic.

Explanation:

We can determine the nature of the solution via determining which has the large no. of millimoles (acid or base):

If no. of millimoles of acid > that of base; the solution is acidic.

If no. of millimoles of acid = that of base; the solution is neutral.

If no. of millimoles of acid < that of base; the solution is basic.

We need to calculate the no. of millimoles of acid and base:

no. of millimoles of acid (HNO₃) = MV = (1.3 M)(75.0 mL) = 97.5 mmol.

no. of millimoles of base (NaOH) = MV = (6.5 M)(150.0 mL) = 975.0 mmol.

∴ The no. of millimoles of base (NaOH) is larger by 10 times than the acid (HNO₃).

So, the solution is: basic.

Five million gallons per day (MGD) of wastewater, with a concentration of 10.0 mg/L of a conservative pollutant, is released int

hjlf

Answer:

a) The concentration in ppm (mg/L) is 5.3 downstream the release point.

b) Per day pass 137.6 pounds of pollutant.

Explanation:

The first step is to convert Million Gallons per Day (MGD) to Liters per day (L/d). In that sense, it is possible to calculate with data given previously in the problem.

Million Gallons per day $1 MGD = 3785411.8 litre/day = 3785411.8 L/d$

$F_1 = 5 MGD (\frac{3785411.8 L/d}{1MGD} ) = 18927059 L/d\\F_2 =10 MGD (\frac{3785411.8 L/d}{1MGD} )= 37854118 L/d$

We have one flow of wastewater released into a stream.

First flow is F1 =5 MGD with a concentration of C1 =10.0 mg/L.

Second flow is F2 =10 MGD with a concentration of C2 =3.0 mg/L.

After both of them are mixed, the final concentration will be between 3.0 and 10.0 mg/L. To calculate the final concentration, we can calculate the mass of pollutant in total, adding first and Second flow pollutant, and dividing in total flow. Total flow is the sum of first and second flow. It is shown in the following expression:

$C_f = \frac{F1*C1 +F2*C2}{F1 +F2}$

Replacing every value in L/d and mg/L

$C_f = \frac{18927059 L/d*10.0 mg/L +37854118 L/d*10.0 mg/L}{18927059 L/d +37854118 L/d}\\C_f = \frac{302832944 mg/d}{56781177 L/d} \\C_f = 5.3 mg/L$

a) So, the concentration just downstream of the release point will be 5.3 mg/L it means 5.3 ppm.

Finally, we have to calculate the pounds of substance per day (Mp).

We have the total flow F3 = F1 + F2 and the final concentration $C_f$ . It is required to calculate per day, let's take a time of t = 1 day.

$F3 = F2 +F1 = 56781177 L/d \\M_p = F3 * t * C_f\\M_p = 56781177 \frac{L}{d} * 1 d * 5.3 \frac{mg}{L}\\M_p = 302832944 mg$

After that, mg are converted to pounds.

$M_p = 302832944 mg (\frac{1g}{1000 mg} ) (\frac{1Kg}{1000 g} ) (\frac{2.2 lb}{1 Kg} )\\M_p = 137.6 lb$

b) A total of 137.6 pounds pass a given spot downstream per day.

Describe how to determine the rate law for an overall reaction that involves multiple steps.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The sum of each elementary step in a reaction mechanism must yield the overall reaction equation. From the rate law of the rate-determining step it must agree with the experimentally determined rate law. The rate-determining step is the slowest step in a reaction mechanism. Because it is the slowest, it determines the rate of the overall reaction.

Air is made up of different gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. Which statement best describes these three comp

Inga [223]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The three components of air are all classified as pure substances since they are not chemically bonded so they can be separated by certain processes and be present as a pure substance. Hope this answers the question.
