Answer:

there are approximately n ≈ 10²² moles

Explanation:

Since the radius of the earth is approximately R=6378 km= 6.378*10⁶ m , then the surface S of the earth would be

S= 4*π*R²

since the water covers 75% of the Earth's surface , the surface covered by water Sw is

Sw=0.75*S

the volume for a surface Sw and a depth D= 3 km = 3000 m ( approximating the volume through a rectangular shape) is

V=Sw*D

the mass of water under a volume V , assuming a density ρ= 1000 kg/m³ is

m=ρ*V

the number of moles n of water ( molecular weight M= 18 g/mole = 1.8*10⁻² kg/mole ) for a mass m is

n = m/M

then

n = m/M = ρ*V/M = ρ*Sw*D/M = 0.75*ρ*S*D/M = 3/4*ρ*4*π*R² *D/M = 3*π*ρ*R² *D/M

n=3*π*ρ*R² *D/M

replacing values

n=3*π*ρ*R² *D/M = 3*π*1000 kg/m³*(6.378*10⁶ m)² *3000 m /(1.8*10⁻² kg/mole) = 3*π*6.378*3/1.8 * 10²⁰ = 100.18 * 10²⁰ ≈ 10²² moles

n ≈ 10²² moles

A student wishes to calculate the experimental value of Ksp for AgI. S/he follows the procedure in Part 3 and finds Ecell to be
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

a)    [Ag+]dilute = 6.363  × 10⁻¹⁶ M  

b)    1.273 × 10⁻¹⁶

c)    2.629×10⁻¹⁹ M Thus; the value for  [Ag+ ]dilute will be too low

Explanation:

In an Ag | Ag+ concentration cell ,

The  anode reaction can be written as :

Ag ----> Ag+(dilute) + e-    &:

The  cathode reaction can be written as:

Ag+(concentrated) + e- ----> Ag

The  Overall Reaction : is

Ag+(concentrated) -----> Ag+(dilute)

However, the Standard Reduction potential of cell = E°cell = 0

( since both cathode and anode have same Ag+║Ag )

Also , given that the theoretical slope is - 0.0591 V

Therefore; the reduction potential of cell ; i.e

Ecell = E°cell - 0.0591 V × log ( [Ag+]dilute / [Ag+]concentrated )

0.839 V = 0 - 0.0591 V × log ( [Ag+]dilute / ( 1.0 × 10⁻¹ M ) )  

log ( [Ag+]dilute / ( 1.0 × 10⁻¹ M ) ) = - 14.1963  

[Ag+]dilute = \mathbf{10^{-14.1963} } × 1.0 × 10⁻¹ M

[Ag+]dilute = 6.363  × 10⁻¹⁶ M  

b)

AgI ----> Ag + (dilute) + I⁻

So , Solubility product = Ksp = [Ag⁺]dilute × [I⁻]  

= 6.363 × 10⁻¹⁶ M × 0.20 M  

= 1.273 × 10⁻¹⁶

c) If s/he mistakenly uses 1.039 V as Ecell; then the value for [Ag+]dilute will be :

Ecell = E°cell - 0.0591 V × log ( [Ag+]dilute / [Ag+]concentrated )

1.039 V = 0 - 0.0591 V × log ( [Ag+]dilute / ( 1.0 × 10⁻¹ M ) )  

log ( [Ag+]dilute / ( 1.0 × 10⁻¹ M ) ) = - 17.5804  

[Ag+]dilute = \mathbf{10^{-17.5804} } × 1.0 × 10⁻¹ M

[Ag+]dilute = 2.629×10⁻¹⁹ M

Thus, the value for  [Ag+ ]dilute will be too low

Answer:

2812.6 g of H₂SO₄

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mole of H₂SO₄ = 28.7 moles

Mass of H₂SO₄ =?

Next, we shall determine the molar mass of H₂SO₄. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of H₂SO₄ = (1×2) + 32 + (16×4)

= 2 + 32 + 64

= 98 g/mol

Finally, we shall determine the mass of H₂SO₄. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of H₂SO₄ = 28.7 moles

Molar mass of H₂SO₄ =

Mass of H₂SO₄ =?

Mole = mass / Molar mass

28.7 = Mass of H₂SO₄ / 98

Cross multiply

Mass of H₂SO₄ = 28.7 × 98

Mass of H₂SO₄ = 2812.6 g

Thus, 28.7 mole of H₂SO₄ is equivalent to 2812.6 g of H₂SO₄

Which will cause the value of the equilibrium constant to change? (2 points)
Sonbull [250]

answer

changing the temperature and increase in the pressure

Change in concentration, pressure, catalyst, inert gas addition, etc. have  no effect on concentration, pressure, catalyst, inert gas addition lead to a shift in equilibrium position .

If we use mile or something else it will be hard to measure in sky .
Because the mile or meters too short for the space,
Galaxy and stars are too long far away from us if we use mile or meter,
