The Environmental Protection Agency suggests using cold tap water for cooking instead of starting with warm tap water is because our drinking water is made out lead pipes, which is a serious risk to health.

Explanation:

  • Lead is found throughout  the environment in lead found in paint, air, soil,   food and water.
  • Lead can pose  a significant risk to your health  if too much of it enters your body.  
  • Lead enters drinking water primarily  as a result of the corrosion.
  • It also contains in materials containing lead like in the water distribution system and   household plumbing.
  • Lead in drinking rarely cause of lead poisoning can significantly increase a person’s total lead exposure.
  • In particular the exposure of infants who drink baby formulas  and concentrated juices that are  mixed with water.
  • EPA estimates  that drinking water can make up  to 20% or more of a person’s  total exposure to lead which is dangerous.

A chemist prepares a sample of helium gas at a certain pressure, temperature and volume and then removes all but a fourth of the
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The temperature must be changed to 4 times of the initial temperature so as to keep the pressure and the volume the same.

Explanation:

Pressure in the container is P and volume is V.

Temperature of the helium gas molecules =T_1

Molecules helium gas = x

Moles of helium has = n_1= \frac{x}{N_A}

PV = nRT (Ideal gas equation)

PV=n_1RT_1...[1]  

After removal of helium gas only a fourth of the gas molecules remains and pressure in the container and volume should remain same.

Molecules of helium left after removal = \frac{x}{4}

Moles of helium has left after removal = n_2= \frac{x}{4\times N_A}

PV=n_2RT_2...[2]

n_1RT_1=n_2RT_2

\frac{x}{N_A}\times T_1=\frac{x}{4\times N_A}\times T_2

T_1=\frac{T_2}{4}

T_2=4T_1

The temperature must be changed to 4 times of the initial temperature so as to keep the pressure and the volume the same.

Consider the Bohr model of the simplest atom, hydrogen. What energy photon will be released if an electron falls from the n= 2 o
Nana76 [90]
<h2>Ultraviolet Light</h2>

Explanation:

  • The energy of a photon that will be released if an electron falls from the n= 2 orbit (excited state) to the n0 = 1 orbit (ground state) is of ultraviolet light.
  • In the ultraviolet part of the spectrum, a photon having an energy of 10.2 eV has a wavelength of 1.21 x 10-7 m.
  • Hence, when an electron wants to jump or it gets excited from the first level to the second level that is from n = 1 orbit to n = 2 orbits, it must absorb a photon of ultraviolet light.
  • But,When an electron falls from n = 2 orbit to n = 1 orbit  or from n = 2 orbit(excited state) to n = 0 orbit(groubd state), it emits a photon of ultraviolet light.

Which of the followings is true about G0'? A. G0' can be determined using Keq' B. G0' indicates if a reaction can occur under no
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

A and D are true , while B and F statements are false.

Explanation:

A) True.  Since the standard gibbs free energy is

ΔG = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q

where Q= [P1]ᵃ.../([R1]ᵇ...) , representing the ratio of the product of concentration of chemical reaction products P and the product of concentration of chemical reaction reactants R

when the system reaches equilibrium ΔG=0 and Q=Keq

0 = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q → ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)

therefore the first equation also can be expressed as

ΔG = RT*ln (Q/Keq)

thus the standard gibbs free energy can be determined using Keq

B) False. ΔG⁰ represents the change of free energy under standard conditions . Nevertheless , it will give us a clue about the ΔG around the standard conditions .For example if ΔG⁰>>0 then is likely that ΔG>0 ( from the first equation) if the temperature or concentration changes are not very distant from the standard conditions

C) False. From the equation presented

ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)

ΔG⁰>0 if Keq<1 and ΔG⁰<0 if Keq>1

for example, for a reversible reaction  ΔG⁰ will be <0 for forward or reverse reaction and the ΔG⁰ will be >0 for the other one ( reverse or forward reaction)

D) True. Standard conditions refer to

T= 298 K

pH= 7

P= 1 atm

C= 1 M for all reactants

Water = 55.6 M

Exactly 1.0 mol N2O4 is placed in an empty 1.0-L container and is allowed to reach equilibriumdescribed by the equation N2O4(g)↔
Vilka [71]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 1.1

Solution :  Given,

Initial moles of N_2O_4 = 1.0 mole

Initial volume of solution = 1.0 L

First we have to calculate the concentration N_2O_4.

\text{Concentration of }N_2O_4=\frac{\text{Moles of }N_2O_4}{\text{Volume of solution}}

\text{Concentration of }N_2O_4=\frac{1.0moles}{1.0L}=1.0M

The given equilibrium reaction is,

                           N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)

Initially                      c                 0

At equilibrium   (c-c\alpha)           2c\alpha

The expression of K_c will be,

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}

K_c=\frac{(2c\alpha)^2}{(c-c\alpha)}

where,

\alpha = degree of dissociation = 40 % = 0.4

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

K_c=\frac{(2c\alpha)^2}{(c-c\alpha)}

K_c=\frac{(2\times 1\times 0.4)^2}{(1-1\times 0.4)}

K_c=1.066\aprrox 1.1

Therefore, the value of equilibrium constant for this reaction is, 1.1
