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>

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

V_2=146mL

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the equation for the calculation of dilutions is:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

Whereas M is the molarity and V the volume, because the final concentration is lower than the initial. Thus, since we are asked to calculate the final volume, we solve for V2 as follows:

V_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{M_2}=\frac{0.885M*82.5mL}{0.500M}\\\\V_2=146mL

Best regards!

yaroslaw [1]
The solar system is made up of the sun and everything that orbits around it, including planets, moons, asteroids, comets and meteoroids. It extends from the sun, called Sol by the ancient Romans, and goes past the four inner planets, through the Asteroid Belt to the four gas giants and on to the disk-shaped Kuiper Belt and far beyond to the teardrop-shaped heliopause. Scientists estimate that the edge of the solar system is about 9 billion miles (15 billion kilometers) from the sun. Beyond the heliopause lies the giant, spherical Oort Cloud, which is thought to surround the solar system.
