Which ions in flint water caused the protective layer inside the pipes to break down?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alona [7]3 years ago
6 0
The answer is Oxygen ions & Chloride ions.  Although<span> Dissolved Oxygen (DO) can not interact with the Lead, Orthophosphates have to be added continually or the barrier breaks down. If the barrier does break down, DO combines with Lead atoms, oxidizing them. It allows Lead to drain into drinking water. Once oxidized, Lead dissolves into the water instead of sticking to the pipe. </span>Flint’s water treatment plant did not add
orthophosphates,  allowing the pipes to corrode, and Lead quickly contaminated the drinking water. Additionally, Flint River water had high levels of chlorides, which accelerate corrosion.<span>

What is the orbital hybridization of a central atom that has one lone pair and bonds to:
svlad2 [7]

sp^3d is the type of orbital hybridization of a central atom that has one lone pair and bonds to four other atoms.

<h3>What is orbital hybridization?</h3>

In the context of valence bond theory, orbital hybridization (or hybridisation) refers to the idea of combining atomic orbitals to create new hybrid orbitals (with energies, forms, etc., distinct from the component atomic orbitals) suited for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds.

For instance, the valence-shell s orbital joins with three valence-shell p orbitals to generate four equivalent sp3 mixes that are arranged in a tetrahedral configuration around the carbon atom to connect to four distinct atoms.

Hybrid orbitals are symmetrically arranged in space and are helpful in the explanation of molecular geometry and atomic bonding characteristics. Usually, atomic orbitals with similar energies are combined to form hybrid orbitals.

What are the molality and mole fraction of solute in a 22.3 percent by mass aqueous solution of formic acid (HCOOH)?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Mole fraction for solute = 0.1, or 10%

Molality = 6.24 mol/kg

Explanation:

22.3% by mass → In 100 g of solution, we have  22.3 g of HCOOH

Mass of solution = 100 g

Mass of solute = 22.3 g

Mass of solvent = 100 g - 22.3g = 77.7 g

Let's convert the mass to moles

22.3 g . 1mol/ 46 g = 0.485 moles

77.7 g. 1mol / 18 g = 4.32 moles

Total moles = 4.32 moles + 0.485 moles = 4.805 moles

Xm for solute = 0.485 / 4.805 = 0.100 → 10%

Molality → mol/ kg → we convert the mass of solvent to kg

77.7 g.  1 kg / 1000g = 0.0777 kg

0.485 mol / 0.0777 kg = 6.24 m

According to collision theory, the rate of reaction depends on atoms colliding in the correct _________ with enough ________ for
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: orientation , energy , frequency

Explanation:

According to the collision theory , the number of collisions that take place per unit volume of the reaction mixture is called collision frequency. The effective collisions are ones which result into the formation of products.

Effective collisions depends on the following  two factors:-

1. Orientation factor: The colliding molecules must have proper orientation at the time of collision to result into formation of products.

2. Energy factor:  For collision to be effective,  the colliding molecules must have energy more than a particular value called as threshold energy.

The theoretical yield for a reaction is 55.9 g LiCl. The actual yield is 24.6 g LiCl. What is the percent yield of the reaction?
xenn [34]
In chemical reactions, the actual yield is not the same as the expected yield . Actual yield is lower than the theoretical yield . Then we have to find the yield percentage. To see what percentage of the theoretical yield is the actual yield.
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%
Percent yield = 24.6/55.9 x100%
Percent yield = 44%
