Suggest two reasons why copper should not be disposed of in landfill sites

1 answer:

5 0

Copper should not be disposed of in landfill sites because the dust and waste gases of copper is very harmful to the environment. It can leached into the ground possibly affecting the underground water.

Na2O + HCl -> NaCl + H2O

Charra [1.4K]

Na2O + HCl→ NaCl +H2O

Does the equation above satisfy the law of mass conservation of matter.

No, since there are two sodium atoms as reactants, but only one sodium atom as a product.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

According to the law of mass conservation the number of atoms in the reactant side must be equal to the number of atoms in the product side.

For this reason the equation above does not satisfy the law of mass conservation since the number of sodium atoms are not equal in both side.

sodium reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride. if you have 60 L of chlorine gas at STP and 30 g of sodium, how many gr

Stels [109]

Answer:

75.9 grams of salt

Explanation:

The reaction is the following:

2Na(s) + Cl₂(g) → 2NaCl(s) (1)

We have:

m(Na): the mass of sodium = 30 g

V(Cl₂): the volume of the chlorine gas at STP = 60 L

So, to find the mass of NaCl we need to calculate the number of moles of Na and Cl₂.

$n_{Na} = \frac{m}{A_{r}} = \frac{30 g}{22.99 g/mol} = 1.30 moles$

The number of moles of Cl₂ can be found by the Ideal gas law equation:

$PV = n_{Cl_{2}}RT$

Where:

P: is the pressure = 1 atm (at STP)

R: is the gas constant = 0.082 L*atm/(K*mol)

T: is the temperature = 273 K (at STP)

$n_{Cl_{2}} = \frac{PV}{RT} = \frac{1 atm*60 L}{0.082 L*atm/(K*mol)*273 K} = 2.68 moles$

Now we need to find the limiting reactant. From the stoichiometric relation between Na and Cl₂ (equation 1), we have that 2 moles of Na react with 1 mol of Cl₂, so:

$n_{Na} = \frac{2 moles Na}{1 mol Cl_{2}}*2.68 moles Cl_{2} = 5.36 moles$

Since we have 1.30 moles of Na, the limiting reactant is Na.

Finally, we can find the number of moles of NaCl and its mass.

$n_{NaCl} = n_{Na} = 1.30 moles$

$m_{NaCl} = n_{NaCl}*M = 1.30 moles*58.44 g/mol = 75.9 g$

Therefore, would be formed 75.9 grams of salt.

I hope it helps you!

5. Which of the following correctly shows alpha decay?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

U --> Th + He

Explanation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4 and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

Describe in detail what you know about the enthalpy, entropy, and free energy changes when a sample of gas condenses to a liquid

ycow [4]

The keyword here is gas condenses to a liquid, which mean we're talking about condensation process

The enthalpy energy in condensation process is negative because it releases energy
The entropy in general will also decreases .

Temperature affect this change because it will create free energy if added with this result

hope this helps
