What effect does carbon dioxide have on tap water ​

Chemistry
2 answers:
charle [14.2K]4 years ago

Answer:

It will decrease the pH of the water.

Explanation:

When carbon dioxide gets dissolved in water, it changes its pH.

The pH of water will become acidic.

In dissolved state, carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid with water as shown in the equation.

H_{2}O+CO_{2}--->H_{2}CO_{3}

This carbonic acid gets dissociated as shown in equation.

H_{2}CO_{3}--->2H^{+}+CO_{3}^{-2}

Due to increase in concentration of hydrogen ion, the pH of water decreases.

"No matter what phase water is in, the water molecules stay the same; they just move differently." Explain why this evidence mat
Sedbober [7]

Explanation:

If water is ice-form, only the gap between molecules reduces but the molecule remains the same. The gap between liquid water molecules is greater than that between the molecules. That's why ice is thinner than water.

The intermolecular gap now increases in the gaseous form, which makes it less heavier than solid ice and liquid water. However, the molecule still remain the same.

What do you think causes a lunar eclipse? (Use your knowledge of solar eclipses and feel free to run the Gizmo to help you.)
zhenek [66]

Moon reflects the light frim the sun, thats why we are able to see it and it shines in the night. But, we know that Earth revolves around Sun and Moon revolves around Earth. During this revolution, Earth and Moon comes in a position when Earth is in the middle of the Moon and Sun. So, it blocks the light of Sun frim reaching Moon. Hence, we see no reflection and it causes Lunar eclipse.

What is [OH-]? Please include work so I know how to answer future questions. Thanks! :)
kramer

Answer:

i know it is alot but that is how are teacher told us to do, hope this is correct

Explanation:

a. 2.6

b. 12.0

Explanation:

a.

First, we will calculate the molar concentration of HCl.

M = mass of HCl / molar mass of HCl × liters of solution

M = 0.40 g / 36.46 g/mol × 4.5 L

M = 2.4 × 10⁻³ M

HCl is a strong monoprotic acid, so [H⁺] = 2.4 × 10⁻³ M. The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 2.4 × 10⁻³ = 2.6

b.

First, we will calculate the molar concentration of NaOH.

M = mass of NaOH / molar mass of NaOH × liters of solution

M = 0.80 g / 40.00 g/mol × 2.0 L

M = 0.010 M

NaOH is a strong base with 1 OH⁻, so [OH⁻] = 0.010 M. The pOH is:

pOH = -log [OH⁻]

pOH = -log 0.010 = 2.0

The pH is:

14.00 = pH + pOH

pH = 14.00 - pOH = 14.00 - 2.0 = 12.0

How is the mantle different from the core?​
Pepsi [2]

Answer:The Earth's mantle is made up of semisolid rocks. ... The core consists of extremely hot metal layers instead of rock. Iron and nickel make up the outer section of the core, while the interior is almost entirely iron. The inner core is almost totally solid and shaped like a ball.

The rate law for the decomposition of phosphine () is It takes 135. s for 1.00 M to decrease to 0.250 M. How much time is requir
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

189.71 secs

Explanation:

We know that decomposition is a first order reaction;

So;

ln[A] = ln[A]o - kt

But;

[A]o = 1.00 M

[A] = 0.250 M

t =135 s

Hence;

ln[A] -  ln[A]o = kt

k = ln[A] -  ln[A]o/t

k = ln(1) - ln(0.250)/135

k =0 - (-1.386)/135

k = 1.386/135

k= 0.01

So time taken now will be;

ln[A] -  ln[A]o = kt

t = ln[A] -  ln[A]o/k

t = ln (3) - ln(0.450)/0.01

t = 1.0986 - (-0.7985)/0.01

t = 1.0986 + 0.7985/0.01

t = 189.71 secs
