Answer:

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is an important green house gas. A small increase in the concentration of this gas can lead to the global rise in the surface temperature. Over the last 100 years, this gas has increased significantly. One of the main cause behind this the anthropogenic activities.

After the setup of the industrial revolution, there has been a large increase in this CO₂ concentration, as there are numerous large factories and indutries that releases this harmful gases. In addition to this, the burning up of fossil fuel also is responsible for the emission of large amount of carbon into the atmosphere.

Deforestation also is another cause, because trees are no longer there in vast quantities which takes up a large number of atmospheric carbon and in return liberates plenty of oxygen.

Thus, the activities done by man over the last century has led to the increase in the concentration of CO₂ into the atmosphere.

Answer:

a) The relationship at equivalence is that 1 mole of phosphoric acid will need three moles of sodium hydroxide.

b) 0.0035 mole

c) 0.166 M

Explanation:

Phosphoric acid is tripotic because it has 3 acidic hydrogen atom surrounding it.

The equation of the reaction is expressed as:

$H_3PO_4 \ + \ 3NaOH -----> Na_3 PO_4 \ + \ 3H_2O$

1 mole 3 mole

The relationship at equivalence is that 1 mole of phosphoric acid will need three moles of sodium hydroxide.

b) if 10.00 mL of a phosphoric acid solution required the addition of 17.50 mL of a 0.200 M NaOH(aq) to reach the endpoint; Then the molarity of the solution is calculated as follows

$H_3PO_4 \ + \ 3NaOH -----> Na_3 PO_4 \ + \ 3H_2O$

10 ml 17.50 ml

(x) M 0.200 M

Molarity = $\frac{0.2*17.5}{1000}$
