An abandoned Indiana coal mine spoil bank (wastes) contains chunks of pyrite minerals. Under constant erosion and weathering, th

e pyrites leach large amounts of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The spoil banks are also mixed with large quantities of basic limestone and clay carbonates. What should occur over time?

Answer:

The acid will be neutralized overtime

Explanation:

The presence of the pyrites leads to the leaching of large amounts of sulphuric acid, however the basic carbonates neutralizes the acid according to the reaction equation;

CaCO3 + H2SO4 ---> CaSO4 + CO2 + H2O.

This will prevent all the deleterious consequences associated with the leaching of the acid in the abandoned coal mine.

Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, formed from the reaction of phosphoric acid with ammonia, is used as a crop fertilizer as well as
Tema [17]

Answer:

a)The mass percentages of nitrogen and phosphorus in the compound is 24.34% and 26.95% respectively.

b) 14.78 grams ammonia is incorporated into 100. g of compound.

Explanation:

a) Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate that is NH_6PO_4.

Molecular mass of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate = M

M = 115 g/mol

Percentage of an element in a compound:

\frac{\text{Number of atoms of element}\times \text{Atomic mass of element}}{\text{molecular mass of element}}\times 100

Percentage of nitrogen:

\frac{1\times 28 g/mol}{115 g/mol}\times 100=24.34\%

Percentage of phosphorus:

\frac{1\times 31g/mol}{115 g/mol}\times 100=26.95\%

b) Percentage of ammonia in 1 molecule of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate.

Molar mass of ammonia = 17 g/mol

\%=\frac{17 g/mol}{115 g/mol}\times 100=14.78\%

Amount of ammonia in 100 grams of compound:

14.78% of 100 g of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate:

\frac{14.78}{100}\times 100 g=14.78 g

14.78 grams ammonia is incorporated into 100. g of compound.

The pressure of a fixed mass of gas is increased from 100 kPa to 600 kPa at a constant temperature. The new volume of the gas is
Dima020 [189]

Answer: The new volume of the gas is smaller.

Explanation:

Volume and pressure are inversely proportional (as one goes up, one goes down). So as you increase the pressure, you decrease the volume.

A mixture of three noble gases has a total pressure of 1.25 atm. The individual pressures exerted by neon and argon are 0.68
FinnZ [79.3K]

First of all, as you seen the gases are noble which means that will not react with each other and in this case each gas create individual pressure.  

P_{T}= total pressure  

P_{Ne} = pressure of neon  

P_{Ar} = pressure of argon  

P_{He} = pressure of helium {which is required}

P_{T} = P_{Ne} + P_{Ar} + P_{He}    

1.25 = 0.68 + 0.35 +  P_{He}

P_{He}   = 1.25  - [0.68 + 0.35] = 0.22 atm

What is a planned goal of the Exploration Mission 2?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

C. to explore the composition of Mars

Explanation:

Initially, in 2019, an unmanned mission is planned to orbit the moon. The spacecraft would flyby the moon.  In 2020's, the Exploration Mission 2 would be a manned mission on the same path around the moon. This would be the base for future goal of collecting samples from mars. In later of 2020's unmanned spacecraft would be sent to mars and a robot would collect the samples from the Martian surface. In 2030's, a crew would be sent to Mars.
