Acid rain does harm to fish or other aquatic animals. Acid rain and an ocean = g2o which means harm to environment or animals.

Acid rain makes waters acidic, and causes them to absorb the aluminum that makes its way from soil into lakes and streams. This combination makes waters toxic to crayfish, clams, fish, and other aquatic animals.

High-density polyethylene may be flourinated by inducing the random substitution of Flourine atoms for hydrogen. (a) Determine t

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Concentration of Flourine = 24.756%

Explanation:

Given that :

High-density polyethylene may be flourinated by inducing the random substitution of Flourine atoms for hydrogen.

the objective is to determine he concentration of Flourine (in wt%) that must be added if this substitution occurs for 12% of all the original hydrogen atoms.

At standard conditions , the atomic weight of the these compounds are as follows:

Carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Chlorine = 35.45 g/mol

Fluorine = 19.00 g/mol

Hydrogen = 1.008 g/mol

Oxygen = 16.00 g/mol

The chemical formula for polyethylene = (CH₂ - CH₂)ₙ

Therefore, for two carbons, there will be 4 hydrogens;

i.e

(CH₂ - CH₂)₂

( C₂H₄ - C₂H₄ )

Suppose the number of original hydrogen = 4moles

number of moles of Flourine F = 12% of 4

= 0.12 × 4

= 0.48 mol

∴ the number of remaining moles of Hydrogen is:

= 4 - 0.48

= 3.52 moles

number of moles of Carbon = 2 moles

∴ the mass of flourine F = number of moles of F × molar mass of F

= 0.48 × 19

= 9.12

The total mass of the compound now is = (0.48 × 19 ) + (3.52 × 1) + (2× 12)

= 9.12 + 3.52 + 24

= 36.64

Concentration of Flourine = (mass of flourine/total mass) × 100

Concentration of Flourine = (9.12/36.84 ) × 100

Concentration of Flourine = 0.24756 × 100

Concentration of Flourine = 24.756%

How many liters of a 1.5 M solution can you make if you have .50 mol of KCl?

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.33 liters

Explanation:

Data

Volume = ?

Molarity = 1.5 M

number of moles = 0.5

Formula

$Molarity = \frac{number of moles }{volume}$

Solve for V

$Volume = \frac{number of moles}{molarity}$

Substitution

$Volume = \frac{0.5}{1.5}$

Simplification and result

Volume = 0.33 l

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Explanation:

21. Atoms are not created or destroyed means that atoms that you begin with are the atoms that you will end with. The catch is that the atoms will rearrange to give you new compounds, but the atoms that you initially had are the atoms you will still have after reaction. For eg, if you started with eggs and made omelet. Omelet is a "new" compound, but the atoms that were in the eggs have rearranged to become the omelet so can you see that atoms were not created or destroyed to make the omelet.

22. Yes because amount of products you make depends on how much reactants you have. For eg, I need two graham cracker(GC), one marshmallow(M), and one chocolate (C) to make a s'more. If I get more of each item then I can make more s'mores and consequently having minimum amounts results in less s'mores that I make.

23. Not possible, due to law of conservation of matter and energy. Atoms cannot be created nor be destroyed, they are simply rearranged. For eg, Taking A + B cannot give you a new compound with a chemical formula D or XZ. A + B can however give you AB which is rearrangement of the starting atoms.

24. Chemical equation is balanced when atoms on reactant side and atoms of product side are in equal counts. I have attached a graphic below for more help.

Scientists in a lab are working on a series of experiments that involve colliding two or more atomic nuclei at very high speeds

Ket [755]

Answer: Scientists are working on nuclear fusion process. Nuclear fusion is the process in which two atomic nuclei combine to form another nuclei. In the process either energy is absorbed or released due to the difference in the mass of reactants and products.

How many milliners of hydrogen gas ar produced by the reaction 0.020 moles of magnesium with excess of hydrochloride acid at sto

jeyben [28]

Answer:- 448 mL of hydrogen gas are formed.

Solution:- It asks to calculate the volume of hydrogen gas formed in milliliters at STP when 0.020 moles of magnesium reacts with excess HCl acid. The balanced equation is:

$Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2(g)$

There is 1:1 mol ratio between Mg and hydrogen gas. So, the moles of hydrogen gas is also equals to the moles of Mg reacted.

moles of Hydrogen gas formed = 0.020 mol

At STP, volume of 1 mol of the gas is 22.4 L. We need to calculate the volume of 0.02 moles of hydrogen gas.

$0.02mol(\frac{22.4L}{1mol})$

= 0.448 L

They want answer in mL. So, let's convert L to mL using the conversion formula, 1L = 1000mL

$0.448L(\frac{1000mL}{1L})$

= 448 mL

So, 0.020 moles of magnesium would produce 448 mL of hydrogen gas at STP on reacting with excess of HCl acid.
