Anit [1.1K]3 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.

How many grams of K2CO3 would you need to put on the spill to neutralize the acid according to the following equation? 2HBr(aq)+
Mkey [24]

Full Question:

A flask containing 420 Ml of 0.450 M HBr was accidentally knocked to the floor.?

How many grams of K2CO3 would you need to put on the spill to neutralize the acid according to the following equation?

2HBr(aq)+K2CO3(aq) ---> 2KBr(aq) + CO1(g) + H2O(l)

Answer:

13.1 g K2CO3 required to neutralize spill

Explanation:

2HBr(aq) + K2CO3(aq) → 2KBr(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Number of moles = Volume * Molar Concentration

moles HBr= 0.42L x .45 M= 0.189 moles HBr

From the stoichiometry of the reaction;

1 mole of K2CO3 reacts  with 2 moles of HBr

1 mole = 2 mole

x mole = 0.189

x = 0.189 / 2 = 0.0945 moles

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

Mass = 0.0945 * 138.21  = 13.1 g

which sample, when dissolved in 1.0 liter of water, produces a solution with the highest boiling point?
andrew-mc [135]
<span>The correct answer is (C) 0.2 mole MgCl2.

according to Van't Hoff factor rule which is the ratio between the actual

concentration of the particles produced when the substance dissolved and

the concentration of the substance as measured from its mass, so here 0.2

mole MgCl2 is the higher van't Hoff factor as it has more ions than other

choices and the higher concentration.

and when the boiling point formula is delta Tb = Kb * m * i.

 when delta Tb is the change in boiling point.

 and Kb is molal boiling point constant

and m is the molality of the solution

and i is Van't Hoff factor.

 so we can see the relationship between i and delta Tb, the greater Van't Hoff factor the higher the boiling point. so 0.2 MgCl2 is the higher boiling point as it is the greater van't Hoff factor.</span>
