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.

You make a solution by putting 45.6g of iron lll carbonate into 167ml of water. What is it's molarity?
ludmilkaskok [199]
1. The molar mass of Fe2(CO3)3 is 291.72 g/mol. This means that 45.6 g is equivalent to 0.156 mol. Dividing by the 0.167 L of water gives a solution of 0.936 M.
2. Multiplying (0.672 M)(0.025 L) = 0.0168 mol. The molar mass of Ni(OH)2 is 92.71 g/mol, so multiplying by 0.0168 mol = 1.56 grams. Therefore you would need to dissolved 1.56 g of Ni(OH)2 into 25 mL of water.
3. Fe2(CO3)3 + Ni(OH)2 --> Fe(OH)3 + NiCO3Balancing: Fe2(CO3)3 + 3Ni(OH)2 --> 2Fe(OH)3 + 3NiCO3The reaction quotient is:[Fe(OH)3]^2 * [NiCO3]^3 / [Fe2(CO3)3][Ni(OH)2]^3= (0.05)^2 * (1.45)^3 / (0.936)(0.672)^3= 0.0268Since this is < 1, it implies that the reactants are favored at equilibrium.

Question 2: Heat (5 points)
Ronch [10]

Answer:

(i) specific heat

(ii) latent heat of vaporization

(iii) latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

i. Q = mcΔT; identify c.

Here, Q is heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat and ΔT is the change in temperature.

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of substance of mass 1 kg by 1 degree C is known as the specific heat.  

ii. Q = mLvapor; identify Lvapor

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

The amount of heat required to convert the 1 kg liquid into 1 kg vapor at constant temperature.  

iii. Q = mLfusion; identify Lfusion

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of fusion.  

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

The amount of heat required to convert the 1 kg solid  into 1 kg liquid at constant temperature.
