In 2009, a team from Northwestern University and Western Washington University reported the preparation of a new "spongy" materi

al composed of nickel, molybdenum, and sulfur that excels at removing mercury from water. The density of this new material is 0.20 g/cm^3, and its surface area is 1242 m^2 per gram of material.
A) Calculate the volume of a 40.0-mg sample of this material. (Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.)

B) Calculate the surface area for a 40.0-mg sample of this material.

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

C) A 10.0-mL sample of contaminated water had 7.748 mg of mercury in it. After treatment with 10.0 mg of the new spongy material, 0.001 mg of mercury remained in the contaminated water. What percentage of the mercury was removed from the water?

Express your answer to four significant figures.

D) What is the final mass of the spongy material after the exposure to mercury?

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units

Answer:

A) 0.20 cm³

B) 49.7 m²

C) 99.99%

D) 17.7 mg

Explanation:

A) The density of a material represents the mass that it occupies in a "piece" of volume. Thus, the density (d) is the mass (m) divided by the volume (v):

d =m/v

If the mass is 40.0 mg = 0.04 g, and the density is 0.20 g/cm³, the volume is:

0.20 = 0.04/v

v = 0.04/0.20

v = 0.20 cm³

B) The surface area (S) is the are that is presented in each gram of the material, so, it's the area (a) divided by the mass (m):

S = a/m

If the mass is 40.0 mg = 0.04 g, and the surface area is 1242 m²/g, so:

1242 = a/0.04

a = 49.7 m²

C) The percent of mercury removed is the mass removed divided by the initial mass, this multiplied by 100%. The mass removed is the initial mass (m0) less the final mass (m), so:

%removed = [(7.748 - 0.001)/7.748] *00%

%removed = 99.99%

D) The final mass of the spongy material is it mass (10 mg) plus the mass removed of the mercury (7.748 - 0.001 = 7.747 mg), so:

m = 10 + 7.747

m = 17.747 mg

m = 17.7 mg

Answer:

The <u>equilibrium constant</u> is:

              k_c=0.0030M^{-2}

Explanation:

The correct equation is:

  •   N₂(g)    +    3H₂(g)    ⇄    2NH₃(g)

Thus, with the equilibrium concentrations you can calculate the equilibrium constant, Kc.

The equation for the equilibrium constant is:

         k_c=\dfrac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2]\cdot [H_2]^3}

Substituting:

        k_c=\dfrac{(0.105M)^2}{(1.1M)\cdot (1.50M)^3}

         k_c=0.0030M^{-2}

What is the [H+] concentration of blood, given the ph is 2.5?
belka [17]

Answer:

0.00316

Explanation:

You have to use the following equation:

pH=-log[H^+]

You are given the pH and need to find the concentration of H+.  Plug in the given components and solve.

2.5=-log[H^+]\\H^+ = 10^{-2.5}\\H^+=0.00316

The concentration of H is 0.00316.
