Eutrophication results from an excess of _____.

Chemistry
2 answers:
Andre45 [30]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, phosphates.

Explanation:

One of the extreme environmental issues, as it leads to deterioration of water quality, is eutrophication. It is one of the prime obstructions in attaining the quality objectives set up by the Water Framework Directive. All the water bodies’ results in a slow and natural process of eutrophication, however, the process has gone through brisk progressions due to many human activities. The excess use of phosphates in the form of fertilizers is one of the prime reasons for eutrophication.

Kay [80]

Answer: Chemical change

Explanation:

Physical change is a change in which there is no rearrangement of atoms and thus no new substance is formed. There is only change in physical state of the substance. The change can be reversed using physical methods.

Chemical change is a change in which there is rearrangement of atoms and thus new substance is formed. There may or may not be a change in physical state. The change can only be reversed using chemical methods.

Thus when iron and sulfur are heated in a test tube, the chemical change occurs and thus lead to formation of new substances which could not be separated using magnet.

Which solution below has the highest concentration of hydroxide ions?a. pH= 3.21b. pH= 7.00c. pH= 7.93d. pH= 12.59e. pH= 9.82
Sloan [31]

Answer:

  • <em>The solution that has the highest concentration of hydroxide ions is </em><u>d. pH = 12.59.</u>

Explanation:

You can solve this question using just some chemical facts:

  1. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity: the higher the pH the lower the acidity and the higher the alkalinity.
  2. The higher the concentration of hydroxide ions the lower the acidity or the higher the alkalinity of the solution, this is the higher the pH.

Hence, since you are asked to state the solution with the highest concentration of hydroxide ions, you just pick the highest pH. This is the option d, pH = 12.59.

These mathematical relations are used to find the exact concentrations of hydroxide ions:

  • pH + pOH = 14 ⇒ pOH = 14 - pH

  • pOH = - log [OH⁻] ⇒ [OH^-]=10^{-pOH}

Then, you can follow these calculations:

Solution    pH        pOH                            [OH⁻]

a.               3.21       14 - 3.21 = 10.79        antilogarithm of 10.79 = 1.6 × 10⁻¹¹

b.               7.00      14 - 7.00 = 7.00        antilogarithm of 7.00 = 10⁻⁷

c.                7.93      14 - 7.93 = 6.07        antilogarithm of 6.07 = 8.5 × 10⁻⁷

d.               12.59     14 - 12.59 = 1.41        antilogarithm of 1.41 = 0.039

e.               9.82      14 - 9.82 = 4.18        antilogarithm of 4.18 = 6.6 × 10⁻⁵

From which you see that the highest concentration of hydroxide ions is for pH = 12.59.

The compound trimethylamine, (CH3)3N, is a weak base when dissolved in water. Write the Kb expression for the weak base equilibr
Zina [86]

Answer:

Kb = [OH⁻] . [C₃H₉NH⁺] / [ C₃H₉N ]

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction of trimethylamine when it is dissolved in water is:

C₃H₉N  +  H₂O ⇄ C₃H₉NH⁺ + OH⁻   Kb

1 mol of trimethylamine catches a proton from the water in order to produce trimethylamonium.

It is a base, because it give OH⁻ to the medium

Expression for Kb (Molar concentration)

Kb = [OH⁻] . [C₃H₉NH⁺] / [ C₃H₉N ]

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

K_{sp} of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} is 0.0513

Explanation:

Solubility equilibrium of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2}:

Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2}\rightleftharpoons Zn^{2+}+2CH_{3}COO^{-}

Solubility product of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} (K_{sp}) is written as-            K_{sp}=[Zn^{2+}][CH_{3}COO^{-}]^{2}

Where [Zn^{2+}] and [CH_{3}COO^{-}] represents equilibrium concentration (in molarity) of Zn^{2+} and CH_{3}COO^{-} respectively.

Molar mass of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} = 183.48 g/mol

So, solubility of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} = \frac{43.0}{183.48}M = 0.234M

1 mol of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} gives 1 mol of Zn^{2+} and 2 moles of CH_{3}COO^{-} upon dissociation.

so,   [Zn^{2+}] = 0.234 M and [CH_{3}COO^{-}] = (2\times 0.234)M=0.468M

so, K_{sp}=(0.234)\times (0.468)^{2}=0.0513
