Answer:

* pH=11.0

* [HClO]_{eq}=9.32x10^{-4}M

* [HF]_{eq}=5.07x10^{-6}M

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, the molarities of NaClO and KF are computed as shown below:

M_{NaClO}=\frac{51.2g*\frac{1mol}{74.45g} }{0.250L}=2.75M \\\\M_{KF}=\frac{25.3g*\frac{1mol}{58.1g} }{0.250L} =1.74M

Now, since both NaClO and KF are ionic, one proposes the dissociation reactions as:

NaClO\rightarrow Na^++ClO^-\\KF\rightarrow K^++F^-

In such a way, by writing the formation of HClO and HF respectively, due to the action of water, we obtain:

ClO^-+H_2O\rightleftharpoons HClO+OH^-\\F^-+H_2O\rightleftharpoons HF+OH^-\\

Now, the presence of OH⁻ immediately implies that Kb for both NaClO and KF must be known as follows:

Kb=\frac{Kw}{Ka} \\Kb_{NaClO}=\frac{1x10^{-14}}{10^{-7.50}}=3.16x10^{-7}\\Kb_{KF}=\frac{1x10^{-14}}{10^{-3.17}}=1.48x10^{-11}

In such a way, the law of mass action for each case is:

Kb_{NaClO}=3.16x10^{-7}=\frac{[HClO][OH]^-}{[ClO^-]}=\frac{(x_{ClO})(x_{ClO})}{2.75-x_{ClO}}\\Kb_{KF}=1.48x10^{-11}=\frac{[HF][OH]^-}{[F^-]}=\frac{(x_{F})(x_{F})}{1.74-x_{F}}

Now, by solving for the change x for both the ClO⁻ and F⁻ equilibriums, we obtain:

x_{ClO}=9.32x10^{-4}M\\x_{F}=5.07x10^{-6}M

Such results equal the concentrations of OH⁻ in each equilibrium, thus, the total concentration of OH⁻ result:

[OH^-]_{tot}=9.32x10^{-4}M+5.07x10^{-6}M=9.37x10^{-4}M

With which the pOH is:

pOH=-log(9.37x10^{-4})=3.03

And the pH:

pH=14-pOH=11.0

In addition, the equilibrium concentrations of HClO and HF equals the change x for each equilibrium as:

[HClO]_{eq}=x_{ClO}=9.32x10^{-4}M

[HF]_{eq}=x_{F}=5.07x10^{-6}M

Best regards.

Why does the lack of snow in the mountains make drought cycles worse
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

lack of snow in the mountains makes drought cycles worse because mountains are a natural part of the water cycle.

Explanation:

Mountains play a critical part In the water cycle by capturing moisture in the air and it precipitates as snow and when it does this the snow will melt in the warmer seasons and flow down stream then following the rest of the water cycle if we didn't have this then the streams would run less and it would greatly disrupt the water cycle.

Photosynthesis by land plants leads to the fixation each year of about 1 kg of carbon on the average for each square meter of an
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

a) mass of carbon directly above 1 ( each)  square meter of the earth is 1.65kg

b) all CO₂ will definitely be used up from the atmosphere directly above a forest in 1.65 years

Explanation:

first we calculate the moles of carbon

moles = mass/molar mass

= 1kg/12gmol⁻¹

= 1000g/12gmol⁻¹

= 83.33 mol

now using the ideal gas equation

we find the volume of co₂required based on 83.33 moles

PVco₂ = nRT

Vco₂ = nRT/P

Vco₂ = (83.22mol × 0.0821L atm k⁻¹ mol⁻¹ 298 K) / 1 atm

Vco₂ = 2083.73 L

so since CO₂ in air is 0.0390% by volume in the atmosphere, we find the the total amount of air required to obtain 1kg carbon

therefore

Vair × 0.0390/100 = 2038.73L

Vair = (2038.73L × 100) / 0.0390

Vair = 5.23 × 10⁶L

therefore 5.23 × 10⁶ L of air will be required to obtain 1kg carbon

a)

Here we calculate the mass of air over 1 square meter of surface.

Remember that atmospheric pressure is the consequence of the force exerted by all the air above the surface; 1 bar is equivalent to 1.020×10⁴kgm⁻²

NOW

mass of air = 1.020×10⁴kgm⁻² × 1m²

= 1.020×10⁴kg

= 1.020×10⁷g    [1kg = 10³g]

we now find the moles of air associated with it

moles = mass/molar mass

= 1.020 × 10⁷g / ( 20%×Mo₂ + 80%×Mn₂)

= 1.020 × 10⁷g / ( 20%×32gmol⁻¹ + 80%×28gmol⁻¹)

= 1.020 × 10⁷g / 28.8 gmol⁻¹

= 354166.67mol

so based on the question, for each mole (air), there is 0.0390% of CO₂

now to calculate the moles of CO₂ we say;

MolesCo₂ = 0.0390/100 × 354166.67mol

= 138.125 moles

Now we calculate mass of CO₂ from the above findings

Moles = mass/molar mass

mass = moles × molar mass

= 138.125 moles × 12gmol⁻¹

= 1657.5g

we covert to KG

= 1657.5g / 1000

mass = 1.65kg

therfore mass of carbon directly above 1 ( each)  square meter of the earth is 1.65kg

b)

to find the number years required to use up all the CO₂, WE SAY

Number of years = total carbon per m² of the forest / carbon used up per m² from the forest per year

Number of years = 1.65kgm⁻² / 1kg²year⁻¹

Number of years = 1.65 years

Therefore all CO₂ will definitely be used up from the atmosphere directly above a forest in 1.65 years
