Answer:

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

Explanation:

The acidity of a solution depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions ([H⁺]). We can calculate this concentration from the pH using the following expression.

pH = -log ([H⁺])

American Midwest

pH = -log ([H⁺])

5.02 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-5.02) = 9.55 × 10⁻⁶ M

New England

pH = -log ([H⁺])

4.66 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-4.66) = 2.19 × 10⁻⁵ M

The ratio of concentrations is:

\frac{2.19 \times 10^{-5} M  }{9.55 \times 10^{-6} M} =2.29

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

Cl2 and N2 react according to the following equation 3Cl2(g) + N2(g) rightarrow 2NCl3(g) If 4 L of a stoichiometric mixture of c
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Volume of NCl3 is 3L

Explanation:

Avogadro states: All gases at the same volume under temperature and pressure constant have the same number of moles.

The chemical equation is:

3Cl2(g) + N2(g) → 2NCl3(g)

Where 3 moles of chlorine reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen to produce 2 moles of NCl3.

But using Avogadros law we can say:

3L of chlorine and 1L of nitrogen produce 2L of Nitrogen trichloride.

3L of chlorine and 1L of nitrogen: 4L (The stoichiometric mixture)

That means, volume of NCl3 produced is 3L

A fixed mass of oxygen gas occupies 300cm cube at 0 degree centigrade. what volume would the gas occupy at 15 degree centigrade​
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Volume occupied by oxygen gas at 15 degree centigrade​ is equal to 316.5 centimeter cube

Explanation:

Assuming Pressure is constant.

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

where T1 and T2 are temperature in Kelvin

Substituting the give values we get-

\frac{300}{273} = \frac{V_2}{288}

V_2 = \frac{288*300}{273} \\V_2 = 316.5

Volume occupied by oxygen gas at 15 degree centigrade​ is equal to 316.5 centimeter cube

What are two possible fates of stars larger than 8 sol
attashe74 [19]
Stars born larger than 8 solar masses usually retain enough mass to undergo core collapse, with the resulting shock wave producing a Type Ib supernova (spectra without Hydrogen or Silicon lines, with Helium lines), a Type Ic supernova (without Hydrogen or Helium or Silicon lines) or a Type II supernova
