Answer:

The salinity of the sea decreases due to an increase in fresh water in the ocean from the melting of the polar ice caps.

Explanation:

Ocean water can become saltier or fresher depending on environmental factors.

Melted ice, fresh water, will decrease the salinity of the oceans. That is, the process of oceanic desalination or decrease in salinity, known as freshening, is generated by the discharge of fresh water from the ice of glaciers into the salty water of the seas that surround it.

Problem Page Gaseous butane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 5.2 g o

stich3 [128]

Answer: 0.0 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

a) moles of butane

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{5.2g}{58.12g/mol}=0.09moles$

b) moles of oxygen

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{32.6g}{32g/mol}=1.02moles$

$2C_4H_{10}+13O_2\rightarrow 8CO_2+10H_2O$

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of butane require 13 moles of $O_2$

Thus 0.09 moles of butane will require = $\frac{13}{2}\times 0.09=0.585moles$ of $O_2$

Butane is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and oxygen is present in excess as (1.02-0.585)=0.435 moles will be left.

Thus all the butane will be consumed and 0.0 grams of butane will be left.

A 0.590 gram sample of a metal, M, reacts completely with sulfuric acid according to:M(s) +H2SO4(aq) --> MSO4(aq) +H2(g)A vol

Answer:

MM = 58.41 g

Explanation:

First, the data we have is according to the hydrogen which is exerting pressure. To solve this, we need to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT (1)

the molar mass of any compound is calculated like this:

MM = m/n (2)

So, from (1) we solve for the moles (n) and then, this value is replace in (2).

However, before we do all that, we need to gather all the correct data.

All the species in the reaction are solid or aqueous state, with the exception of hydrogen, which is gaseous. Hydrogen is collected over water, therefore, is exerting some pressure too. The problem is not indicating if the acid or any other species is exerting pressure, so we will assume that only hydrogen and water are exerting pressure.

The total pressure exerted by the system would be:

P = Pw + PH2 (3)

We already know the total pressure which is 756 torr.

This experiment is taking place at 25 °C (298.15 K), and at this temperature, we have a reported value for water pressure which is 23.8 Torr.

Let's solve for PH2:

PH2 = P - Pw

PH2 = 756 - 23 = 733 Torr

Now, with this value, and the volume and temperature, we can calculate the moles of H2:

n = PV/RT

But first, let's convert the pressure to atm:

PH2 = 733 Torr / 760 torr * 1 atm = 0.9644 atm

now, solving for n:

n = 0.9644 * (0.255) / 0.082 * 298.15

n = 0.0101 moles

Now that we have the moles, we know that the metal and the hydrogen has a mole ratio of 1:1 according to the reaction, so, this means that:

moles M = moles H2 = 0.0101 moles

We have the moles of the metal and the mass, we can calculate the molar mass using expression (2):

MM = 0.590/0.0101

MM = 58.41 g/mol

This is the molar mass of the metal
