What is acid rain and how is it a problem to oceans ,rivers ,lakes , ponds , and ect.

1 answer:

8 0

Acid rain is made by atmospheric pollution from the wastes from factories the wastes of the factories contain sulfur and nitrogen oxides which then mix in the atmosphere to form acid rain. It's a problem to lakes and such by lowering the ph of the water that will most likely kill the animals/plants in the water.

A chemist fills a reaction vessel with 9.20 atm nitrogen monoxide (NO) gas, 9.15 atm chlorine (CI) gas, and 7.70 atm nitrosyl ch

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The reactions free energy $\Delta G = -49.36 kJ$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The pressure of (NO) is $P_{NO} = 9.20 \ atm$

The pressure of (Cl) gas is $P_{Cl} = 9.15 \ atm$

The pressure of nitrosly chloride (NOCl) is $P_{(NOCl)} = 7.70 \ atm$

The reaction is

$2NO_{(g)} + Cl_2 (g)$ ⇆ $2 NOCl_{(g)}$

From the reaction we can mathematically evaluate the $\Delta G^o$ (Standard state free energy ) as

$\Delta G^o = 2 \Delta G^o _{NOCl} - \Delta G^o _{Cl_2} - 2 \Delta G^o _{NO}$

The Standard state free energy for NO is constant with a value

$\Delta G^o _{NO} = 86.55 kJ/mol$

The Standard state free energy for $Cl_2$ is constant with a value

$\Delta G^o _{Cl_2} = 0kJ/mol$

The Standard state free energy for $NOCl$ is constant with a value

$\Delta G^o _{NOCl} =66.1kJ/mol$

Now substituting this into the equation

$\Delta G^o = 2 * 66.1 - 0 - 2 * 87.6$

$= -43 kJ/mol$

The pressure constant is evaluated as

$Q = \frac{Pressure \ of \ product }{ Pressure \ of \ reactant }$

Substituting values

$Q = \frac{(7.7)^2 }{(9.2)^2 (9.15) } = \frac{59.29}{774.456}$

$= 0.0765$

The free energy for this reaction is evaluated as

$\Delta G = \Delta G^o + RT ln Q$

Where R is gas constant with a value of $R = 8.314 J / K \cdot mol$

T is temperature in K with a given value of $T = 25+273 = 298 K$

Substituting value

$\Delta G = -43 *10^{3} + 8.314 *298 * ln [0.0765]$

$= -43-6.36$

$\Delta G = -49.36 kJ$

The amount of protein in a sample was measured by the sample's absorbance of light at a given wavelength. Using standards, a bes

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Protein Concentration is 2.82mg/L

Explanation:

According to Beer-Lambert's Law, Absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration.

However, the concentration of a solution can be determined from a calibration curve, in which Absorbance is plotted on the y-axis and the Concentration on the x-axis.

Plotting the best line, the equation of line is used

y = mx + c

where y is absorbance = 0.150

m is slope = 0.0163

x is concentration

c is intercept = 0.104

inserting the values from the question

y = mx + c

0.150 = 0.0163x + 0.104

0.0163x = 0.150 - 0.104

0.0163x = 0.046

Divide both sides by 0.0163

0.0163x/0.0163 = 0.046/0.0163

x = 2.82

Concentration of protein = 2.82 mg/L

Many oxidation-reduction reactions can be balanced by inspection. Try to balance the following reactions by inspection. In each

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Balanced reaction: C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)

Reduced: O₂

Oxidized : C₃H₈

Explanation:

For the given reaction:

C₃H₈(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(l)

In the reactants, there are 3 C, and in the products only one, so we multiply CO₂ by 3:

C₃H₈(g) + O₂(g) → 3CO₂(g) + H₂O(l)

In the reactants, there are 8 H, and in the products, there are 2 H, so we multiply H₂O by 4:

C₃H₈(g) + O₂(g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)

In the reactants are 2 O, and in the products 10 O, so we multiply O₂ by 5:

C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)

The reaction is balanced.

Let's identify the oxidation number (Nox) of the elements in each compound.

C₃H₈:

H has fix Nox equal to +1, and the molecule is neutral, so, calling x the Nox of C:

3x + 8 = 0

3x = -8

x = -8/3

O₂:

Because is a pure compound, the Nox of O is 0.

CO₂:

The Nox of O is fix equal to -2, and the molecule is neutral, so, calling x the Nox of C:

2x -4 = 0

2x = 4

x = +2

H₂O:

The Nox of H and O are fixed, respectively, +1 and -2.

So, the carbon in C₃H₈ is oxidized because its Nox is increasing, and oxygen in O₂ is reduced because its Nox is decreasing.
