The dependent variable is the variable that changes based on the independent variable (the manipulated variable).

Values of dependent variables depend on the values of independent variables. The dependent variables represent the output or outcome whose variation is being studied.

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Instead of melting, solid carbon dioxide sublimes according to the following equation: CO2(s)→C

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$m=8.79kg$

Explanation:

First of all we need to calculate the heat that the water in the cooler is able to release:

$Q=\rho * V*Cp*\Delta T$

Where:

Cp is the mass heat capacity of water
V is the volume
$\rho$ is the density

$Q=1 g/cm^3 *15000 cm^3*4.184 \frac{J}{g*^{\circ}C}*(10-90)^{\circ}C$

$Q=-5020800 J=-5020.8 kJ$

To calculate the mass of CO2 that sublimes:

$-Q=\Delta H_{sub}*m$

Knowing that the enthalpy of sublimation for the CO2 is: $\Delta H_{sub}=571 kJ/kg$

$5020.8 kJ=571 kJ/kg*m$

$m=\frac{5020.8 kJ}{571 kJ/kg}=8.79kg$

For the generic equilibrium HA(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + A−(aq), which of these statements is true? For the generic equilibrium , which of

timama [110]

Answer: The correct statement is if you add the soluble salt KA to a solution of HA that is at equilibrium, the pH would increase.

Explanation:

Common ion effect is defined as the effect which occurs on equilibrium when a common ion (an ion which is already present in the solution) is added to a solution. This effect generally decreases the solubility of a solute.

Equilibrium reaction of HA and KA follows the equation:

$HA\rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq.)+A^{-}(aq.)$

$KA\rightleftharpoons K^+(aq.)+A^{-}(aq.)$

According to Le-Chateliers principle, if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction in order to minimize the effect.

In the equilibrium reactions, $A^-$ ion is getting increased on the product side, so the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize this effect, which is in the direction of HA.

Thus, the addition of KA will shift the equilibrium in the left direction.

Equilibrium constant depends on the temperature of the system. It does not have any effect on any change of pH.

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ions present in the solution

If the solution has high hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be low.
If the solution has low hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be high.

As, the equilibrium is shifting in the left direction, that means concentration of $H^+$ ions are getting decreases. This will increase the pH of the solution.
