Question 1: Should acid precipitation be a concern for the new age environmentalist?

1 answer:

6 0

Acid precipitation should be a concern for the new age environmentalist, as they are one of the many consequences of a polluted and warming world, such is the one we live in. Acid precipitation comes from the evaporation of acid sea water, due to global warming and the fact that when more heat is trapped into the sea, more acid substance are released.

It can be answered by science because it is a question that is been solved via some experiments and it is in fact been proven recently as proofs correlates global waming with the acidification of the ocean and then acid rain. So this is a physic and environmental question, with ramification and consequences in other fields of science.

Acid precipitation in forests could affect the reproduction rate in birds. There are multiple factor that affect the reproduction rate in birds, and environment is one of the most complex and yet undiscovered. The two could have a potential entaglement as, for hyphotesis, acid precipitation could cause certain plant to die, and than the birds do not have a place where to reproduce.

It can be answered by science, via experiments and study. The relationship between environment and biology is a well-know correlation, so it does not represent a strech in this sense. Moreover, while it could be difficult to assure this for different reason, this is a problem that science could solve in different ways.

For the reaction shown, identify the element oxidized, the element reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent. KNO3 →

Vinvika [58]

Answer : The oxidizing element is N and reducing element is O.

$KNO_{3}$ is act as an oxidizing agent as well as reducing agent.

Explanation :

An Oxidizing agent is the agent which has ability to oxidize other or a higher in oxidation number.

Reducing agent is the agent which has ability to reduce other or lower in oxidation number.

The given reaction is :

$KNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{2} +O_{2}$

$KNO_{3}$ act as an oxidizing agent.

The oxidation number of N in $KNO_{3}$ is calculated as:

(+1)+(x)+3(-2) = 0

x = +5

And the oxidation number of N in $KNO_{2}$ is calculated as:

(+1)+(x)+2(-2) = 0

x = +3

From the oxidation number method, we conclude that the oxidation number reduced this means $KNO_{3}$ itself get reduced to $KNO_{2}$ and it can act as an oxidizing agent.

$KNO_{3}$ act as a reducing agent.

$KNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{2} +O_{2}$

The oxidation number of O in $KNO_{3}$ is calculated as:

(+1)+(+5)+3(x) = 0

x = -2

The oxidation number of O in $O_{2}$ is Zero (o).

Now, we conclude that the oxidation number increases this means $KNO_{3}$ itself get oxidized to $O_{2}$ and it can act as reducing agent.

13.8g element consist 4.6 ×10^22 atoms what is atomic mass of element?

Keith_Richards [23]

<h2>~<u>Solution</u> :-</h2>

Here, to find the atomic mass of element, we must;

We know that,

4.6 x $ \sf{10^{22}}$ atoms of an element weigh 13.8g.

Thus,

The atoms of $ \sf{ 6.02 \times 10^{13}}$ will weigh;

$= \sf{\frac{13.8 \times 6.02 \times {10}^{23} }{4.6 \times {10}^{22} } } \\$

$= \sf{180.6 \: g \: \: (molar \: mass)}$

Hence, the molar mass (atomic mass) will be <u>180.6 g.</u>

Consider the following chemical reaction in a small volume of solution. According to LeChatelier’s Principle, which perturbation

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Decreasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium leftwards towards reactants.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between chromate anions and hydrogen ions yields dichromate anions, water and heat, we can infer this is an exothermic reaction by which heat is released (remember in endothermic reactions heat is absorbed as a reactant), it means that considering the LeChatelier’s which states that increasing the temperature of an exothermic reaction shifts the equilibrium leftwards since heat is a product, otherwise (decreasing the temperature) the equilibrium will be shifted rightwards.

Therefore, decreasing the temperature is the perturbation that will shift the equilibrium leftwards towards the reactants.

Best regards!
