Swallow hole is also known as a sinkhole refers to a hole or depression in the ground resulted due to certain kind of collapse of the surface layer. The majority of them are the result of karst procedures, like the suffosion processes or the chemical dissolution of the carbonate rocks.

The sinkholes differ in size from 1 to 600 meters, both in depth and diameter, and differ in form from soil-lined bowls to bedrock-edged chasms. The sinkhole may get produced suddenly or slowly, and are observed all through the globe.

Calculate the solubility of hydrogen in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.380 atm (a typical value at high altitude).

Pani-rosa [81]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the solubility of hydrogen in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.380 atm (a typical value at high altitude).

Atmospheric Gas Mole Fraction kH mol/(L*atm)

$N_2$ $7.81\times 10^{-1}$ $6.70\times 10^{-4}$

$O_2$ $2.10\times 10^{-1}$ $1.30\times 10^{-3}$

Ar $9.34\times 10^{-3}$ $1.40\times 10^{-3}$

$CO_2$ $3.33\times 10^{-4}$ $3.50\times 10^{-2}$

$CH_4$ $2.00\times 10^{-6}$ $1.40\times 10^{-3}$

$H_2$ $5.00\times 10^{-7}$ $7.80\times 10^{-4}$

Answer: The solubility of hydrogen gas in water at given atmospheric pressure is $1.48\times 10^{-10}M$

Explanation:

To calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen gas, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

$p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=p_T\times \chi_{\text{hydrogen gas}}$

where,

$p_A$ = partial pressure of hydrogen gas = ?

$p_T$ = total pressure = 0.380 atm

$\chi_A$ = mole fraction of hydrogen gas = $5.00\times 10^{-7}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=0.380\times 5.00\times 10^{-7}\\\\p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=1.9\times 10^{-7}atm$

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{H_2}=K_H\times p_{H_2}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $7.80\times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm$

$p_{H_2}$ = partial pressure of hydrogen gas = $1.9\times 10^{-7}atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$C_{H_2}=7.80\times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm\times 1.9\times 10^{-7}atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=1.48\times 10^{-10}M$

Hence, the solubility of hydrogen gas in water at given atmospheric pressure is $1.48\times 10^{-10}M$

What are the components of an electromagnet and how do they get connected?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Well I'm sure many a time you've seen on some science experiment someone wrap a copper wire around a nail well thats generally the idea for electromagnets you get a solid piece of iron which is the only metal that is magnetic and you wrap a copper wire around it and the idea is to make two opposing magnetic poles by aligning the molecules with a electrical charge (a battery) so now with all three pieces assembles you have a copper wire attached to two sides of a battery and wrapped around a nail

Calcium carbonate is often used as an antacid. Your stomach acid is composed of HCl at a pH of 1.5. If you ate toooo much Turkey

stiks02 [169]

Answer: 0.0237 g of calcium carbonate would be required to neutralize the given amount of HCl

Explanation:

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

$pH=-\log [H^+]$ .....(1)

Given value of pH = 1.5

Putting values in equation 1:

$1.5=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=10^{(-1.5)}=0.0316M$

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Number of moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (mL)}}$ .....(2)

We are given:

Volume of solution = 15.0 mL

Molarity of HCl = 0.0316 M

Putting values in equation 2:

$0.0316=\frac{\text{Moles of HCl}\times 1000}{15.0}\\\\\text{Moles of HCl}=\frac{0.0316\times 15.0}{1000}=4.74\times 10^{-4}mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of HCl and calcium carbonate follows:

$2HCl+CaCO_3\rightarrow H_2CO_3+CaCl_2$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of calcium carbonate

So, $4.74\times 10^{-4}mol$ of HCl will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 4.74\times 10^{-4}=2.37\times 10^{-4}mol$ of calcium carbonate

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of calcium carbonate = $2.37\times 10^{-4}mol$

Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.01 g/mol

Putting values in the above equation:

$\text{Mass of }CaCO_3=(2.37\times 10^{-4}mol)\times 100.01g/mol\\\\\text{Mass of }CaCO_3=0.0237g$

Hence, 0.0237 g of calcium carbonate would be required to neutralize the given amount of HCl

I'm very confused can someone help me please I would really appreciate it

sasho [114]

1. temperature is dependent
2. energy is independent
3. the graph looks like a line sloping upward
4. the line means that as energy increases the temperature also increases
5. a straight line would mean that as energy increases temperature remains constant
sorry that's all I can do
