1 answer:
riadik2000 [5.3K]4 years ago
7 0

Carbon filtering is a method of filtering that uses a bed of activated carbon to remove contaminants and impurities, using chemical adsorption. ... Active charcoal carbon filters are most effective at removing chlorine, particles such as sediment, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), taste and odor from water.

Bulk property  are those properties that does not depend on the amount of substance.

<h3>What is a bulk property?</h3>

The term bulk property can also be referred to as the intensive properties of a substance. These are those properties that does not depend on the amount of substance. This means that they are characteristic of the material.

The percent by mass refers to  the percentage of an atom that is present in a compound. If we must be able to calculate the percentage by mass then we must know the mass of the sample and the masses of the elements found in the sample.

23. Using the periodic table, what is the oxidation number of:
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a. +2

b. +3

c. -1

Explanation:

The typical oxidation states can be determined from the periodic table based on the number of valence electrons an atom has.

a. Calcium belongs to group 2A, meaning it has 2 valence electrons and, therefore, would have an oxidation state of +2 in compounds.

b. Aluminum is in group 3A, meaning it has 3 valence electrons and would have an oxidation state of +3 in compounds when the 3 electrons are lost.

c. Fluorine would become fluorine if it gained 1 additional electron to achieve an octet, so its oxidation state would be -1.

A chemist dissolves 867. mg of pure barium hydroxide in enough water to make up 170. mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the sol
Ilya [14]

Answer: The pH of the solution is 11.2

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

V_s = volume of solution in ml

moles of Ba(OH)_2 = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{0.867g}{171g/mol}=0.00507mol         (1g=1000mg)

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

Molarity=\frac{0.00507\times 1000}{170}

Molarity=0.0298

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

Ba(OH)_2\rightarrow Ba^{2+}+2OH^{-}

According to stoichiometry,

1 mole of Ba(OH)_2 gives 2 mole of OH^-

Thus 0.0298 moles of Ba(OH)_2 gives =\frac{2}{1}\times 0.0298=0.0596 moles of OH^-

Putting in the values:

pOH=-\log[0.0596]=2.82

pH+pOH=14

pH=14-2.82

pH=11.2

Thus the pH of the solution is 11.2

What is a cold front
Vlada [557]
A cold front is the leading edge of a cooler mass of air, replacing at ground level a warmer mass of air, which lies within a fairly sharp surface trough of low pressure.
