Why copper should not be disposed of in landfill sites?

2 answers:

7 0

What the guy above said, although he focuses more on the human side. In animals the bioaccumalation can cause toxicity and diseases within them too, and it can cause large loss of life. It also limits plant growth when in high doses, so new life can't grow in the area once the landfill is covered over

Copper is a heavy metal that can harm many people. This process of heavy metals building in your body is called bioaccumulation and the process of this building in the food chain is called biomagnification. Its hard to rid of this heavy metal because it is very dense, therefore, cannot breakdown in our bodies. Heavy metals get consumed by producers and then reach to the top of the pyramid (us) so we have the highest risk of getting diseases and so on. Make sure you explain that heavy metals get passed from industrial purposes where companies do not dispose of waste properly.

If 36.2g of Acetic Acid (HC2H302) was dissolved in 300. mL of water, what is the

uysha [10]

Answer:

2.01 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the moles of acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂)

The molar mass of acetic acid is 60.05 g/mol. We will use this data to calculate the moles corresponding to 36.2 g of acetic acid.

$36.2g \times \frac{1mol}{60.05g} = 0.603mol$

Step 2: Convert the volume of solution to liters

We will use the relation 1000 mL = 1 L. We assume that the volume of solution is that of water (300 mL)

$300mL \times \frac{1L}{1000mL} = 0.300L$

Step 3: Calculate the molarity of the solution

The molarity is equal to the moles of solute (acetic acid) divided by the liters of solution

$M = \frac{0.603mol}{0.300L} = 2.01 M$

The equilibrium 2NO(g)+Cl2(g)⇌2NOCl(g) is established at 500 K. An equilibrium mixture of the three gases has partial pressures

QveST [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For A:</u> The $K_p$ for the given reaction is $4.0\times 10^1$

<u>For B:</u> The $K_c$ for the given reaction is 1642.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical reaction follows:

$2NO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NOCl(g)$

<u>For A:</u>

The expression of $K_p$ for the above reaction follows:

$K_p=\frac{(p_{NOCl})^2}{(p_{NO})^2\times p_{Cl_2}}$

We are given:

$p_{NOCl}=0.24 atm\\p_{NO}=9.10\times 10^{-2}atm=0.0910atm\\p_{Cl_2}=0.174atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{(0.24)^2}{(0.0910)^2\times 0.174}\\\\K_p=4.0\times 10^1$

Hence, the $K_p$ for the given reaction is $4.0\times 10^1$

<u>For B:</u>

Relation of $K_p$ with $K_c$ is given by the formula:

$K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta ng}$

where,

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = $4.0\times 10^1$

$K_c$ = equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature = 500 K

$\Delta ng$ = change in number of moles of gas particles = $n_{products}-n_{reactants}=2-3=-1$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.0\times 10^1=K_c\times (0.0821\times 500)^{-1}\\\\K_c=\frac{4.0\times 10^1}{(0.0821\times 500)^{-1})}=1642$

Hence, the $K_c$ for the given reaction is 1642.

How many formula units make up 19.0 g of magnesium chloride (MgCl2)?

professor190 [17]

To convert the mass of a compound to formula units, the conversion factor is Avogadro's number, 6.022 x10^23 formula units/ mol and its molar mass. In this case, we are given with 19.0 grams of magnesium chloride which has a mass of 95.21 g/mol. Hence the answer is 1.20 x 10^23 formula units.
