Why does phosphate act as an environmental contaminant?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anit [1.1K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Too much phosphorus in the water causes algae to grow faster than ecosystems can handle. Large growths of algae are called algal blooms and they can <u>severely reduce or eliminate oxygen in the water</u>, leading to illnesses in fish and the death of large numbers of fish.

Explanation

Futhermore, with a loss of fish the whole ecosystem will be upset and will be in need of serious recovery.

What are the pH of these solutions?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

a)    HCl  0.01 M

      pH = -log [0.01]

      pH = - (-2)

     pH = 2

b)    HCl = 0.001 M

      pH = -log[0.001]

      pH = -(-3)

      pH = 3

c)    HCl = 0.00001 M

       pH = -log[0.00001]

       pH = - (-5)

      pH = 5

d) Distilled water

      pH = 7.0

e) NaOH = 0.00001 M

       pOH = -log [0.00001]

       pOH = -(-5)

       pH = 14 - 5

       pH = 9

f)  NaOH = 0.001 M

      pOH =- log [0.001]

      pOH = 3

      pH = 14 - 3

      pH = 11

g)   NaOH = 0.1 M

       pOH = -log[0.1]

       pOH = 1

       pH = 14 - 1

       pH = 13

A.explain what is meant by term
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Atomic numbers:

Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. It is one of the most diagonistic and representative number used in identifying an atom. The periodic table of element arranges elements based on this number.

No two elements have the same atomic number.

Protons are positively charged particles in an atom.

  • In a neutral atom, the atomic number is the same as the number electrons since electrical neutrality is attained when the number of protons and electrons are the same.
  • The atomic number determines the position of an atom on the periodic table and it is unique for every atom.

2.

Periodic patterns

These are trends on that can be predicted on the periodic table because they shew regularities down a group or sometimes across the period.

Some of these trends are atomic radius, electronegativity, metallicity, nuclear charge e.t.c

Properties of elements can be predicted using these patterns even before they are discovered.

b.

Physical property shared by Helium, Argon and Neon is that they are all gases. All group 8 elements are called noble or inert gases.

Chemical property of these elements: they are chemically unreactive.

These gases are very stable having complete electronic shell configuration. Every atom on the periodic table tries to attain the state of the noble gases.

C.

Noble Gases/ Inert Gases/ Group O elements

ΔG o for the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g) is 2.60 kJ/mol at 25°C. Calculate ΔG o , and predict the direction in which the rea
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g)     ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol

Temperature = 25°C = 25+273 = 298 Kelvin

The initial pressures are:

pH2 = 3.10 atm

pI2 = 1.5 atm

pHI 1.75 atm

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate ΔG

ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q  

with ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol

with R = 8.3145 J/K*mol

with T = 298 Kelvin

Q = the reaction quotient → has the same expression as equilibrium constant → in this case Kp = [p(HI)]²/ [p(H2)] [p(I2)]

with pH2 = 3.10 atm

pI2 = 1.5 atm

pHI 1.75 atm

Q = (3.10²)/(1.5*1.75)

Q = 3.661

ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q  

ΔG = 2600 J/mol + 8.3145 J/K*mol * 298 K * ln(3.661)  

ΔG =5815.43 J/mol = 5.815 kJ/mol

To be spontaneous, ΔG should be <0.

ΔG >>0 so the reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.
