Answer:

Nutrients in freshwater

But in large quantities, they can cause a major water pollution problem. Too many nutrients stimulate the rapid growth of plants and algae, clogging waterways and sometimes creating blooms of toxic blue-green algae. This process is called eutrophication.

Eutrophication is when the environment becomes enriched with nutrients. This can be a problem in marine habitats such as lakes as it can cause algal blooms.... Some algae even produce toxins that are harmful to higher forms of life.

Hydrogen reacts with chlorine to form hydrogen chloride (HCl (g), mc012-1.jpgHf = –92.3 kJ/mol) according to the reaction below.

Kobotan [32]

Given:

H2(g) + Cl2 (g) → 2HCl (g)

To determine:

The enthalpy of the reaction and whether it is endo or exothermic

Explanation:

Enthalpy of a reaction is given by the difference between the enthalpy of formation of reactants and products

ΔH = ∑nHf (products) - ∑nHf (reactants)

= [2Hf(HCl)] - [Hf(H2) + Hf(Cl2)] = 2 (-92.3) kJ = - 184.6 kJ

Since the reaction enthalpy is negative, the reaction is exothermic

Ans: The enthalpy of reaction is -184. kJ and the reaction is exothermic

A gas at 400 k is placed in a 4.0 l moveable piston. The gas is cooled to 252 k. What is the new volume of the piston?

katrin [286]

Answer:

2.52L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

T₁ = 400K

V₁ = 4L

T₂ = 252K

unknown

V₂ = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to apply charle's law. The law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to temperature provided pressure is constant.

Mathematically,

$\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }$

Substitute and solve for V₂

$\frac{4}{400} = \frac{V_{2} }{252}$

V₂ = 2.52L

How many grams of Carbon are in sample of 400 grams of Co2?

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Mass of carbon = 109.1 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbondioxide = 400 g

Mass of carbon = ?

Solution:

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol

Mass of carbon in 400g of CO₂:

Mass of carbon = 12 g/mol/44 g/mol × 400 g

Mass of carbon = 109.1 g
