Some benefits are that DDT helps us grow crops and keeps pests off our crops.

But DDT is harmful to the environment. If it gets into the water ways then if can harm fish and animals that eat the fish such as birds.

The reaction of removing CO2 using LiOH is the following:

2 LiOH + CO2 -----> Li2CO3 + H2O

By solving the amount of CO2 the LiOH can scrub:

(3.50 × 10^4 g LiOH) (1 mol LiOH/ 24 g LiOH) ( 1 mol CO2 / 2 mol LiOH) ( 44 g CO2 /1 mol CO2) = 32, 083.33 g CO2 it can scrub

The pH of a vinegar solution is 4.15. What is the H3O+ concentration of the solution?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

PH = -log [H3O+]
4.15 = -log [H3O+]
[H3O+] = 10^(-4.15)

Consider the reaction below for which K = 78.2 atm-1. A(g) + B(g) ↔ C(g) Assume that 0.386 mol C(g) is placed in the cylinder re

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1.65 L

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given as:

A + B ⇄ C

where;

numbers of moles = 0.386 mol C (g)

Volume = 7.29 L

Molar concentration of C = $\frac{0.386}{7.29}$

= 0.053 M

A + B ⇄ C

Initial 0 0 0.530

Change +x +x - x

Equilibrium x x (0.0530 - x)

$K = \frac{[C]}{[A][B]}$

where

K is given as ; 78.2 atm-1.

So, we have:

$78.2=\frac{[0.0530-x]}{[x][x]}$

$78.2= \frac{(0.0530-x)}{(x^2)}$

$78.2x^2= 0.0530-x$

$78.2x^2+x-0.0530=0$

Using quadratic formula;

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

where; a = 78.2 ; b = 1 ; c= - 0.0530

= $\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ or $\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

= $\frac{-(1)+\sqrt{(1)^2-4(78.2)(-0.0530)} }{2(78.2)}$ or $\frac{-(1)-\sqrt{(1)^2-4(78.2)(-0.0530)} }{2(78.2)}$

= 0.0204 or -0.0332

Going by the positive value; we have:

x = 0.0204

[A] = 0.0204

[B] = 0.0204

[C] = 0.0530 - x

= 0.0530 - 0.0204

= 0.0326

Total number of moles at equilibrium = 0.0204 + 0.0204 + 0.0326

= 0.0734

Finally, we can calculate the volume of the cylinder at equilibrium using the ideal gas; PV =nRT

if we make V the subject of the formula; we have:

$V = \frac{nRT}{P}$

where;

P (pressure) = 1 atm

n (number of moles) = 0.0734 mole

R (rate constant) = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K

T = 273.15 K (fixed constant temperature )

V (volume) = ???

$V=\frac{(0.0734*0.0821*273.15)}{(1.00)}$

V = 1.64604

V ≅ 1.65 L

A 5.0 L sample of gas at 300. K is heated to 600. K. What will the new volume of the gas be?

Ainat [17]

Answer:

$V_2=10L$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the required new volume by using the Charles' law as a directly proportional relationship between temperature and volume:

$\frac{V_2}{T_2} =\frac{V_1}{T_1}$

In such a way, we solve for V2 and plug in V1, T1 and T2 to obtain:

$V_2=\frac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\frac{5.0L*600K}{300K}\\\\V_2=10L$

Regards!
