Eutrophication is caused by an excess amount of nutrients within the water. These nutrients can be collected within a lake by runoff from a agricultural area filled with fertilizers, etc etc. The algae within the body of water would grow at a rapid rate, causing a depletion for oxygen within the water and the lack of sunlight underneath the water surface.

8. The best way to obtain pure, solid household salt from a solid mixture of household salt and sand is to:

dedylja [7]

The best way to obtain pure, solid household salt from a solid mixture of household salt and sand is to "add water, stir, filter and evaporate the filtrate".

Option: C

Explanation:

The salt and sand can be separated on the basis of solubility, as we know the salt is chemically known as sodium chloride, which have good solubility in water. The most general method is the mixture is taken into a flask or beaker and water is added with stirring, where salt get dissolved and sand remain as it is, because NaCl is capable enough to form hydrogen bonding with water, while sand have absence of such property. Then this solution containing insoluble sand is filtered by using filter paper. The sand is received in filter paper while filtrate in beaker is evaporated by boiling it in order to receive salt as residue.

Phosphorus pentachloride reacts with water to form hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid. How many total moles of acid are forme

klio [65]

Answer:

0,13 moles of acid are produced

Explanation:

The reaction of the problem is:

PCl₅ + 4H₂O → 5HCl + H₃PO₄

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of PCl₅ produces 6 moles of acid (5 moles of HCl + 1 mole of H₃PO₄).

The molecular mass of PCl₅ is:

1P = 30,97g/mol + 5Cl = 5×35,45g/mol = 208,24 g/mol

That means 4,5g of PCl₅ are:

4,5g PCl₅×(1mol / 208,24g) = 0,0216 moles of PCl₅. As 1 mole of PCl₅ produces 6 moles of acid, 0,0216 moles of PCl₅ produce:

0,0216 moles PCl₅ × (6 moles acid / mole of PCl₅) =

0,13 moles of acid are produced

I hope it helps!
