A fish is removed from a contaminated lake. You determine that a particular toxin (X) is present in its cells at concentration X

= 1,500 μg/L. You place the fish in a tank full of clean water (X = 0 μg/L), and measure the toxin concentration in the fish cells each day for the next 10 days.
After making your hypothesis, you test it by measuring the toxin levels in the fish at various times during its 10 days in the tank. You observe that the level of toxin in the fish drops from 1,500 μg/L to 750 μg/L and then stabilizes at 750 μg/L. You test the water in the tank and find that after it stabilizes, toxin is present in the water at concentration 750 μg/L also. What can you do to continue to reduce the toxin level in the fish below 750 μg/L?

The level of toxins in the fish's cell is equivalent to the level of toxins in the water. Therefore, in order to reduce the toxins further, we should replace the now contaminated water with clean water. After the level of toxins in the fish's cell stops reducing, we replace the water with clean water once again.

Wine goes bad soon after opening because the ethanol in it reacts with oxygen gas from the air to form water and acetic acid , t
ryzh [129]

The mass of ethanol is consumed by the reaction of 3.37g oxygen gas is 4.85g

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the chemical reactions is;

CH₃CH₂OH + O₂ → CH₃COOH + H₂O

The mole ratio between oxygen and ethanol in the reaction is 1 : 1

The molar mass of O₂ is 32g / mole. Therefore the O₂ moles consumes in the reaction is;

3.37 / 32

If the molar mass of ethanol is 46.07g/mole, and the ration of reaction in 1 : 1; Then the moles of ethanol consumed is;

3.37/32 * 46.07

= 4.85g

Nitric oxide reacts with chlorine to form nocl. the data refer to 298 k. 2no(g) + cl2(g) → 2nocl(g) substance: no(g) cl2(g) nocl
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

- 10.555 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

∵ ∆G°rxn = ∆H°rxn - T∆S°rxn.

Where, ∆G°rxn is the standard free energy change of the reaction (J/mol).

∆H°rxn is the standard enthalpy change of the reaction (J/mol).

T is the temperature of the reaction (K).

∆S°rxn is the standard entorpy change of the reaction (J/mol.K).

  • Calculating ∆H°rxn:

∵ ∆H°rxn = ∑∆H°products - ∑∆H°reactants

<em>∴ ∆H°rxn = (2 x ∆H°f NOCl) - (1 x ∆H°f Cl₂) - (2 x ∆H°f NO) </em>= (2 x 51.71 kJ/mol) - (1 x 0) - (2 x 90.29 kJ/mol) = - 77.16 kJ/mol.

  • Calculating ∆S°rxn:

∵  ∆S°rxn = ∑∆S°products - ∑∆S°reactants

<em>∴ ∆S°rxn = (2 x ∆S° NOCl) - (1 x ∆S° Cl₂) - (2 x ∆S° NO) </em>= (2 x 261.6 J/mol.K) - (1 x 223.0 J/mol.K) - (2 x 210.65 J/mol.K) =<em> - 121.1 J/mol.K. = - 0.1211 kJ/mol.K.</em>

<em></em>

  • Calculating ∆G°rxn:

∵ ∆G°rxn = ∆H°rxn - T∆S°rxn.

<em>∴ ∆G°rxn = ∆H°rxn - T∆S°rxn </em>= (- 77.16 kJ/mol) - (550 K)(- 0.1211 kJ/mol.K) = <em>- 10.555 kJ/mol.</em>

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Engineering is all about solving problems using math, science, and technical knowledge. And engineers have solved a lot of problems in the world by designing and building various technologies. We have everything from machines that can breathe for you in hospitals to suspension bridges to computers we use every day. All of these things were once designed by engineers using the engineering design process.

Nicotine is a toxic substance present in tobacco leaves. There are two lone pairs in the structure of nicotine. In general, loca
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

B.Lone pair in pyrrolidine ring is localized and, therefore, is expected to be more reactive.

Explanation:

There are two nitrogen atoms bearing lone pairs of electrons in the structure of nicotine as shown in the image attached.

One nitrogen atom is found in the pyrrolidine ring. The lone pair on this nitrogen atom is localized hence it is more reactive than the lone pair of electrons found on the nitrogen atom in the pyridine ring which is delocalized a shown in the image attached to this answer.
