Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is primarily dissolved CO2. Dissolved CO2 satisfies the equilibri

um equation CO2(g) CO2(aq) K=0.032 The acid dissociation constants listed in most standard reference texts for carbonic acid actually apply to dissolved CO2. For a CO2 partial pressure of 1.9x10-4 bar in the atmosphere, what is the pH of water in equilibrium with the atmosphere? (For carbonic acid Ka1 = 4.46x10-7 and Ka2 = 4.69x 10-11).

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

           CO_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq) + HCO^{-}_{3}(aq)

Calculate the amount of CO_{2} dissolved as follows.

             CO_{2}(aq) = K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}

It is given that K_{CO_{2}} = 0.032 M/atm and P_{CO_{2}} = 1.9 \times 10^{-4} atm.

Hence, [CO_{2}] will be calculated as follows.

           [CO_{2}] = K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}          

                           = 0.032 M/atm \times 1.9 \times 10^{-4}atm

                           = 0.0608 \times 10^{-4}

or,                        = 0.608 \times 10^{-5}

It is given that K_{a} = 4.46 \times 10^{-7}

As,      K_{a} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{[CO_{2}]}

          4.46 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{0.608 \times 10^{-5}}  

               [H^{+}]^{2} = 2.71 \times 10^{-12}

                      [H^{+}] = 1.64 \times 10^{-6}

Since, we know that pH = -log [H^{+}]

So,                      pH = -log (1.64 \times 10^{-6})

                                 = 5.7

Therefore, we can conclude that pH of water in equilibrium with the atmosphere is 5.7.

We could reduce soil erosion and recycle phosphorus from farm and human waste so that we could help make food production sustainable and prevent algae blooms. We can also do land reclamation as well to help solve this problem. With the land, we would have to design a system to where the land could be functional again in order to plant crops, trees, also to help the wildlife that was once a part of the island. Therefore if the design is done before the mining then afterward we can do the reclamation of the land which would help the people to be able to function after the mining. It would also help the future generations that come along after the previous generations. Everyone must work together in the process in order for everyone to survive. If all this is done then the people of the island would not have to import their food. The reclamation process is the most important thing that has to be designed first whether it is land, soil, water, lakes, and clay then after plant trees, vegetation, and other forms of plants to help replenish the land after the mining is done.

100 ml is drawn from 0.1 M solution of KCl and added to 900 ml of water. What is the
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The new concentration will be 0.01 M.

Explanation:

To determine the new concentration we use the following formula.

concentration (1) × volume (1) = concentration (2) × volume (2)

concentration (1) = 0.1 M

volume (1) = 100 mL

concentration (2) = unknown

volume (2) = 100 mL + 900 mL = 1000 mL

concentration (2) = [concentration (1) × volume (1)] / volume (2)

concentration (2) = (0.1 × 100) / 1000 = 0.01 M

If a mass of a cube were 48.0g and its volume 24.0 cm3 what would its density be
EastWind [94]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question

mass = 48 g

volume = 24 cm³

We have

density =  \frac{48}{24}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

Differentiate between Physical and chemical changes​
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

<em>In a physical change the appearance or form of the matter changes but the kind of matter in the substance does not. However in a chemical change, the kind of matter changes and at least one new substance with new properties is formed.</em>
