The pressure of diver = atmospheric pressure + water pressure
atmospheric pressure = 750 mmHg (as given) = 750 / 760 atm = 0.987 atm
Water pressure is
P = hρg
where
h = height of water = 38 ft
1 ft = 0.3048
38 ft = 11.58 m
ρ = density = 1000 Kg / m³
g = gravitational constant = 9.81 m/s2
P = 11.58 X 1000 X 9.81 = 113599.8 Kg / m s^2 Or N /m^2
1 N / m^2 = 1 pa = 9.869 X 10^-6 atm
P = 113599.8 Pa = 1.12 atm
Total pressure = 1.12 + 0.987 atm = 2.107 atm = 2.1 atm (two significant figures)
Answer:
1) SO₄
²⁻ : (+6)
H₂S : (-2)
Explanation:
a) <u>Sulfate reducers</u> are widespread in muds and other sediments, water-logged soils, etc., environments that contain SO₄ ²⁻ and become anoxic as a result of microbial decomposition.
Sulfate (SO₄ ²⁻), the most oxidized form of sulfur (+6), <u>is reduced</u> by these
sulfate-reducing bacteria. The end product of sulfate reduction is hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, (oxidation number -2) an important natural product that participates in many biogeochemical processes. The H₂S they generate is responsible for the pungent smell (like that of rotten eggs) often encountered near coastal ecosystems. When sulfate-reducing bacteria grow, the H₂S formed from SO₄ ²⁻ reduction combines with the ferrous iron to form black, insoluble ferrous sulfide, which is not toxic. This is important for the conservation of the environment.
b) The net ionic equation under acidic conditions is:
4 H₂ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺ → HS⁻ + 4 H₂O
Global reaction: SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺ → H₂S + O₂
The gain or loss of heat energy is what makes a reaction either endothermic or exothermic. A reaction is said to be endothermic if it absorb heat from the environment while a reaction is described as exothermic if it gives out heat to the environment. During chemical reaction, the bond energy of the reactants needs to be broken and new bond has to be formed in the products. The formation and breaking of bonds requires energy,
Answer:
0.4 moles of KOH is required to neutralize 0.4 moles of HNO3.
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is
KOH(aq) + HNO3(aq) ------> KNO3(aq) + H2O(l)
This is a neutralization reaction. A neutralization reaction is a reaction between an acid and a base to form salt and water only.
Having written the balanced chemical reaction equation, we can now solve the prob!em stoichiometrically.
From the balanced reaction equation;
1 mole of KOH is required to neutralize 1 mole of HNO3
Therefore x moles of KOH is required to neutralize 0.4 moles of HNO3
x= 1×0.4/1 = 0.4 moles
Therefore, 0.4 moles of KOH is required to neutralize 0.4 moles of HNO3.
