It was mentioned that you should not expect the pH of distilled water to be 7.00 as ordinarily measured in the laboratory. What

component(s) of the atmosphere might cause distilled water in the laboratory to have pH < 7.0? Write an equation to show this.

Answer:

Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

<em> laboratory to have a pH of less than 7.0.</em>

Carbon (IV) oxide in the atmosphere is capable of dissolving into the distilled water to form a weak acid. Any pH that is less than 7.0 is acidic while any pH above 7.0 is alkaline or basic.

First, the carbon (IV) oxide enters the water through an equilibrium with the atmosphere:

CO_2 (aq)  CO_2 (g)

Thereafter, aqueous carbon (IV) oxide can then react with water to form a weak carbonic acid:

CO_2 (aq) + H_2O --> H_2CO_3 (aq)

What are some signs of cyanide poisoning visible on a corpse?
lina2011 [118]
Hello!
I saw this question and instantly knew I could help. I recently took a course on toxic gasses and poisons. Here's what I know.

It can be swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin. It is generally released from its host compound by acids, such as the hydrochloric acid found in the stomach. The poison in the seeds is released only if the seeds are chewed.

Effects and symptoms:
Cyanide prevents the red blood cells from absorbing oxygen. It's called chemical asphyxia.
Smelling of a toxic dose of the gas can cause immediate unconsciousness, convulsions and death within one to fifteen minutes.
If swallowed a fatal dose can take up to twenty minutes or longer, esp. if swallowed on a full stomach.
If a near-lethal dose is absorbed through the skin, inhaled or swallowed the symptoms will include gasping for breath, dizziness, flushing, headache, nausea, vomiting, rapid pulse, and a drop in blood pressure causing fainting.
<span>With a lethal dose, convulsions with in four hours, except in the case of sodium nitroprusside, when death can be delayed as long as 12 hours after ingestion. </span>The victims blood may appear purple or cherry red, as in carbon monoxide poisoning, and the corpse may have pinker than normal skin.
<span>the famous bitter almond odor can be a clue and maybe noticeable at autopsy, but not everyone is capable of smelling it.

Hope this helped! :)</span>

Pls help, How is stoichiometry used to calculate amounts of substances in a chemical reaction?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Thus, to calculate the stoichiometry by mass, the number of molecules required for each reactant is expressed in moles and multiplied by the molar mass of each to give the mass of each reactant per mole of reaction. The mass ratios can be calculated by dividing each by the total in the whole reaction.

Explanation: Stoichiometry is the field of chemistry that is concerned with the relative quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions. For any balanced chemical reaction, whole numbers (coefficients) are used to show the quantities (generally in moles ) of both the reactants and products.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST, Which of the following would have the greatest amount of surface area?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

C. 1 cubic foot of loose sand

Explanation:

For many  objects having equal volume , surface area will be maximum

of the object which has spherical shape .

But when a sphere is broken into tiny small spheres , total surface area of all the small spheres will be more than surface area of big sphere .

Hence among the given option , surface area of loose sand will have greatest surface area . Loose sand is equivalent to small spheres .
