Describe the method of steel manufacture used when removes the impurities carbon, phosphorus and sulfur

melisa1 [442]

Explanation:

Steelmaking is the process of producing steel from iron ore and/or scrap. In steelmaking, impurities such as nitrogen, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur and excess carbon (most important impurity) are removed from the sourced iron, and alloying elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium, carbon and vanadium are added to produce different grades of steel.

Water vapor is condensed steam. <br><br> True <br> False

adelina 88 [10]

False, because water vapor, water vapour or aqueous vapor, is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice. Unlike other forms of water, water vapor is invisible.

EXTRA POINTSSS 1. A solution at 25 degrees Celsius is 1.0 × 10–5 M H3O+. What is the concentration of OH– in this solution?

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Concentration of OH⁻:

1.0 × 10⁻⁹ M.

Explanation:

The following equilibrium goes on in aqueous solutions:

$\text{H}_2\text{O}\;(l)\rightleftharpoons \text{H}^{+}\;(aq) + \text{OH}^{-}\;(aq)$ .

The equilibrium constant for this reaction is called the self-ionization constant of water:

$K_w = [\text{H}^{+}]\cdot[\text{OH}^{-}]$ .

Note that water isn't part of this constant.

The value of $K_w$ at 25 °C is $10^{-14}$ . How to memorize this value?

The pH of pure water at 25 °C is 7.
$[\text{H}^{+}] = 10^{-\text{pH}} = 10^{-7}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$
However, $[\text{OH}^{-}] = [\text{H}^{+}]=10^{-7}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ for pure water.
As a result, $K_w = [\text{H}^{+}] \cdot[\text{OH}^{-}] = (10^{-7})^{2} = 10^{-14}$ at 25 °C.

Back to this question. $[\text{H}^{+}]$ is given. 25 °C implies that $K_w = 10^{-14}$ . As a result,

$\displaystyle [\text{OH}^{-}] = \frac{K_w}{[\text{H}^{+}]} = \frac{10^{-14}}{1.0\times 10^{-5}} = 10^{-9} \;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .
