Wich are the disadvantages of skimming oil spills?

1 answer:

4 0

Oil is sucked up through wide floating heads and pumped into storage tanks. Although suction skimmers are generally very efficient, one disadvantage is that they are vulnerable to becoming clogged by debris and ice and require constant skilled observation.

Determine the [OH-], pH, and pOH of a solution with a [H+] of 0.090 M at 25 °C. [OH-] = pH = pOH = 0 POH =

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer : The concentration of $OH^-$ ion, pH and pOH of solution is, $1.12\times 10^{-13}M$ , 1.05 and 12.95 respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Concentration of $H^+$ ion = 0.090 M

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion or hydronium ion concentration.

The expression used for pH is:

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

First we have to calculate the pH.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pH=-\log (0.090)$

$pH=1.05$

The pH of the solution is, 1.05

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-1.05=12.95$

The pOH of the solution is, 12.95

Now we have to calculate the $OH^-$ concentration.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$12.95=-\log [OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=1.12\times 10^{-13}M$

The $OH^-$ concentration is, $1.12\times 10^{-13}M$

Please help with an easy percentage yield question ASAP!!! Would really appreciate!

Brut [27]

Answer:

The mass percentage yield is 85%

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2 C7H6O3 + (CH3CO)2CO → 2 C9H8O4 + H20

Step 2: Given data

mass of salicylic acid = 1.03 grams

Volume of acetic anhydride = 2.00 mL = 2*10^-3 L

The product is 1.16 g aspirin synthesized

Molar mass of salicylic acid = 138.12 g/mole

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mole

Density of acetic anhydride = 1.0820 g/mL

Step 3: Calculated moles of salicylic acid

Number of moles of salicylic acid = mass of salicylic acid / Molar mass of salicylic acid

Number of moles of salicylic acid = 1.03 grams / 138.12 g/mole

Number of moles of salicylic acid =0.0075 moles

Step 4: Calculated mass acetic anhydride

mass of acetic anhydride = 1.0820 g/mL * 2 mL = 2.164 grams

Step 5: Calculate number of moles of acetic anhydride

Number of moles = 2.164 grams / 102.09 g/moles

Number of moles = 0.0212 moles

Step 6: Find amount of reacting moles

C7H6O3 is the limiting reactant, there will react 0.0075 moles

Since for 2 moles C7H6O3 consumed, we need 1 mole of (CH3CO)2CO to produce 2 moles of C9H804

So for 0.0075 moles C7H6O3 consumed, we produce 0.0075 moles of C9H8O4

Step 7: Calculate mass of aspirin

mass of aspirin = 0.0075 moles * 180 g/mole = 1.35 grams

Step 8: Calculate the mass percentage yield

(1.16 grams / 1.35 grams) * 100% = 85 %

The mass percentage yield is 85%

36.8 g of CuSO4(s) was added to water to prepare a 2.00 L solution. What is the

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Option D. 0.115 M

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of CuSO4 = 36.8 g

Volume of solution = 2 L

Molar mass of CuSO4 = 159.62 g/mol

Molarity of CuSO4 =..?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 36.8 g of CuSO4.

This can be obtained as shown below:

Mass of CuSO4 = 36.8 g

Molar mass of CuSO4 = 159.62 g/mol

Mole of CuSO4 =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of CuSO4 = 36.8 / 159.62

Mole of CuSO4 = 0.23 mole

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the CuSO4 solution as illustrated below:

Mole of CuSO4 = 0.23 mole

Volume of solution = 2 L

Molarity of CuSO4 =..?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Molarity of CuSO4 = 0.23 / 2

Molarity of CuSO4 = 0.115 M

Therefore, the molarity of the CuSO4 solution is 0.115 M.

Which indicator is yellow in a solution with a pH of 9.8?

Vlada [557]

It's the Methyl Orange.
at about 4.4 pH, it changes from red to Yellow, to indicate an acid solution.
This pH indicator is normally used in titration of acids.

Hope this Helps :)

What happens when you combine ammonia and formaldehyde?

bija089 [108]

Answer:

The mechanism for the formation of hexamethylenetetraamine predicts the formation of aminomethanol from the addition of ammonia to formaldehyde. This molecule subsequently undergoes unimolecular decomposition to form methanimine and water.
