Answer:

0.54 g of Pb in 60 m³ of [Pb] = 9 ppb

Explanation:

We need to know, that ppb is a sort of concentration that indicates (in value of volume) ng / mL (ppb = parts per billion)

9 ppb means that 9 ng are contained in 1mL of solution

We know that 1mL = 1 cm³

Let's convert 60 m³ to cm³ → 60 m³ . 1×10⁶ cm³ / 1m³ = 6×10⁷ cm³

Then, we can make a rule of three:

1 cm³ has 9 ng of Pb

Therefore in 6×10⁷ cm³ we must have ( 6×10⁷ cm³ . 9ng) / 1 cm³ =

5.4×10⁸ ng

We convert ng to g → 5.4×10⁸ ng . 1 g / 1×10⁻⁹ ng = 0.54 g

Predict products or C3H8 + O2 via combustion
EastWind [94]
When propane   is  burned  in  air  in  a process  known  as  combustion  it  produce   carbon  (IV) oxide  and  water
 the  word  equation  is  as follows,
  propane + oxygen--->carbon (IV)  oxide + water
chemical  equation  is  as follows
  2C3H8  +7O2--->  3CO2  + 8 H2O
hence  2 moles  of propane  reacted with 7  moles  of  oxygen  to  give 3  moles of  CO2  and  8  moles  of  H2o

Describe what happened when sodium chloride (salt) was placed in water in the video What happens when stuff dissolves?"
Sonja [21]

Answer:

-

Explanation:

Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together. After the salt compounds are pulled apart, the sodium and chloride atoms are surrounded by water molecules, as this diagram shows. Once this happens, the salt is dissolved, resulting in a homogeneous solution.

What happens when water is added to sodium bicarbonate
harina [27]
Sodium bicarbonate (or baking soda) will cause both exothermic and endothermic reactions when added to water. It becomes either unstable or stable carbonic acid, which will eventually become CO2. The reaction would be exothermic is when H2CO3 (Carbonic Acid unstable) is formed and endothermic is when CO2 is.

The relative strengths of covalent bonds and van der Waals interactions remain the same when tested in a vacuum or in water. How
trasher [3.6K]

Answer and Explanation:

The explanation given in the problem is correct but not totally encompassing.

Van der waals interactions are a type of hydrophobic interaction, in which they do not interact with the polar water molecule. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms of relatively similar electronegativities, and are most often too strong to disrupt by polar molecules of water. Therefore, covalent bonds and van der waals forces have an Intrinsic bond strength value that is independent of the environment.

However, either the partial negative oxygen atom or the partial positive hydrogen atoms in water molecules disrupt hydrogen or ionic bonds. Water is known to form hydrogen bonds with other polar or charged molecules, thus reducing the strength of interaction these molecules would normally have in the absence of water. Basically, these compounds with Hydrogen or Ionic bonds ionize, whether partially or fully in water, thereby leading to a decrease in bond strength in water.
