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

Chemistry

Alona [7]3 years ago

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>

An automobile antifreeze mixture is made by mixing equal volumes of ethylene glycol (d = 1.114 g/ml; = 62.07 g/mol) and water (d
tankabanditka [31]
a) Volume percent

Formula: % v/v = [volume solute / volume solution] * 100

Just to make it easy take a base of 50 volume parts of ethylen glycol and 50 volume parts of water to make 100 volumes of mixture (this assumpion will be valid for all the questions):

% v/v =[ 50 ml ethyleneglycol] / [100 ml mixture] * 100 = 50%

Answer: 50% v/v

b) Mass percent

% m/m = [mass ethylene glycol / mass solution] * 100

mass ethylene glycol = 50 ml * 1.114 g/ ml = 55.7 g

mass of mixture = 100 ml * 1.07 g/ml = 107 g

% m/m = [55.7 / 107 g] * 100 = 52.06 %

Answer: 52.06%

c) Molarity

M = number of moles of solute / liters of solution

number of moles of solute = mass in grams / molar mass

number of moles of ehtylene glycol = 55.7 g / 62.07 g/mol = 0.8974 mol

liters of solution = 0.1 liter

M = 0.8974 mol / 0.1 liter = 8.974 M

Answer: 8.974 M

d) Molality

m = number of moles of solute / kg of solvent

number of moles of ethylen glycol = 0.8974 mol

mass of water = 50 ml * 1 g/ml = 50 g = 0.05 kg

m = 0.8974 mol / 0.05 kg = 17.95 m

Answer: 17.95 m

e) mole fraction

mole fraction = [number of moles of solute] / [number of moles of mixture] * 100

number of moles of ethylen glycol = 0.8974 mol

number of moles of water = 50 g / 18.01 g /mol = 2.776 mol

mole fraction = 0.8974 mol / [0.8974 mol + 2.776 mol] = 0.244

Answer: 0.244

alukav5142 [94]

the answer is C

It is a chemical change because heat energy is absorbed and the pack gets colder. A change in temperature is a sign that a chemical reaction has taken place; increase in temperature is an exothermic reaction and decrease in temperature is an endothermic reaction. This is an endothermic chemical reaction.
