Answer:
1) SO₄
²⁻ : (+6)
H₂S : (-2)
Explanation:
a) <u>Sulfate reducers</u> are widespread in muds and other sediments, water-logged soils, etc., environments that contain SO₄ ²⁻ and become anoxic as a result of microbial decomposition.
Sulfate (SO₄ ²⁻), the most oxidized form of sulfur (+6), <u>is reduced</u> by these
sulfate-reducing bacteria. The end product of sulfate reduction is hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, (oxidation number -2) an important natural product that participates in many biogeochemical processes. The H₂S they generate is responsible for the pungent smell (like that of rotten eggs) often encountered near coastal ecosystems. When sulfate-reducing bacteria grow, the H₂S formed from SO₄ ²⁻ reduction combines with the ferrous iron to form black, insoluble ferrous sulfide, which is not toxic. This is important for the conservation of the environment.
b) The net ionic equation under acidic conditions is:
4 H₂ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺ → HS⁻ + 4 H₂O
Global reaction: SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺ → H₂S + O₂
<u>Given:</u>
Change in internal energy = ΔU = -5084.1 kJ
Change in enthalpy = ΔH = -5074.3 kJ
<u>To determine:</u>
The work done, W
<u>Explanation:</u>
Based on the first law of thermodynamics,
ΔH = ΔU + PΔV
the work done by a gas is given as:
W = -PΔV
Therefore:
ΔH = ΔU - W
W = ΔU-ΔH = -5084.1 -(-5074.3) = -9.8 kJ
Ans: Work done is -9.8 kJ
Answer:
0.681 atm
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we make use of the General gas equation.
Given:
P1 = 785 torr
V1 = 2L
T1 = 37= 37 + 273.15 = 310.15K
P2 = ?
V2 = 3.24L
T2 = 58 = 58+273.15 = 331.15K
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
Now, making P2 the subject of the formula,
P2 = P1V1T2/T1V2
P2 = [785 * 2 * 331.15]/[310.15 * 3.24]
P2 = 515.715 Torr
We convert this to atm: 1 torr = 0.00132 atm
515.715 Torr = 515.715 * 0.00132 = 0.681 atm
