Probably a few months or years I would think. If I am wrong Sorry.

g A 500. mL solution contains 0.665 M NaC2H3O2 and 0.475 M HC2H3O2. What mass of HCl in grams needs to be added for the solution

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

7.38g HCl

Explanation:

Using H-H equation for acetic buffer:

pH = pKa + log [NaC2H3O2] / [HC2H3O2]

<em>Where pKa is -log Ka = 4.74 and [] could be taken as moles of each compound.</em>

The initial moles of each specie is:

[NaC2H3O2]:

0.500L * (0.665mol/L) = 0.3325moles

[HC2H3O2]:

0.500L * (0.475mol/L) = 0.2375 moles

That means total moles are:

[NaC2H3O2] + [HC2H3O2] = 0.57 moles <em>(1)</em>

And solving H-H equation for a pH of 4.21:

4.21 = 4.74 + log [NaC2H3O2] / [HC2H3O2]

0.29512 = [NaC2H3O2] / [HC2H3O2] <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (1) in (2):

0.29512 = 0.57mol - [HC2H3O2] / [HC2H3O2]

0.29512 [HC2H3O2] = 0.57mol - [HC2H3O2]

1.29512 [HC2H3O2] = 0.57mol

[HC2H3O2] = 0.44 moles

The HCl reacts with NaC2H3O2 producing HC2H3O2, that means you need to add:

0.44 moles - 0.2375 moles =

0.2025 moles of HCl

Using molar mass of HCl (36.45g/mol), to convert these moles to grams:

0.2025 moles * (36.45g/mol) =

<h3>7.38g HCl</h3>

Which of the following uses a nonrenewable energy resource to generate energy? A. nuclear power plant B. wind farm C. fireplace

Alisiya [41]

A & C.
much debated nuclear power plants uses nuclear fission power stations, with uranium-235 as the source if fission. It is "non-renewable" according to the Energy Information Administration.

burning wood is also a non-renewable energy source

A student heats a sample of Copper (II) sulfate in a crucible and records the data shown in the table. What is the complete form

liberstina [14]

Explanation:

Copper (II) sulfate is usually present as a hydrous state, which is of the form CuSO4 * nH2O, where n is a whole number.

Mass of sample (CuSO4 * nH2O)

= 152.00g - 128.10g = 23.90g.

Mass of water loss during heating

= 152.00g - 147.60g = 4.40g.

Molar mass of H2O = 18g/mol

Moles of H2O in sample

= 4.40g / (18g/mol) = 0.244mol.

Mass of anhydrous sample (CuSO4)

= 23.90g - 4.40g = 19.50g

Molar mass of CuSO4 = 159.61g/mol

Moles of CuSO4 in sample

= 19.50g / (159.61g/mol) = 0.122mol.

Since mole ratio of CuSO4 to H2O

= 0.122mol : 0.244mol = 1:2, n = 2.

Hence we have CuSO4 * 2H2O.

Arizona was the site of a 400,000-acre wildfire in June 2002. How much carbon dioxide (CO2) was produced into the atmosphere by

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

2.97 × 10¹³ g

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the biomass the is burned. We can establish the following relations:

2.47 acre = 10,000 m²
10 kg of C occupy an area of 1 m²
50% of the biomass is burned

The biomass burned in the site of 400,000 acre is:

$400,000acre\times\frac{10,000m^{2} }{2.47acre} \times \frac{10kgC}{m^{2} } \times 50\% = 8.10 \times 10^{9} kgC$

Let's consider the combustion of carbon.

C(s) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g)

We can establish the following relations:

The molar mass of C is 12.01 g/mol
1 mole of C produces 1 mole of CO₂
The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol

The mass of produced is CO₂:

$8.10 \times 10^{12}gC \times \frac{1molC}{12.01gC} \times \frac{1molCO_{2}}{1molC} \times \frac{44.01gCO_{2}}{1molCO_{2}} =2.97 \times 10^{13} gCO_{2}$
