A geochemist measures the concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parsons and finds a concentration of 21.0 gL⁻¹. The geochemist

also measures the concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes and finds an average concentration of 6.67 gL⁻¹.
Assuming the salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated was equal to the average salt concentration in nearby non-isolated lakes, calculate the percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated. Round each of your answers to significant digits.

Answer:

The percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated is 68.24%.

Explanation:

The concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parson = 21.0 g/L

= In 1 L of lake Parson  water = 21.0 g of salt

The concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes = 6.67  g/L

The salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated = 6.67 g/L

In 1 L of lake water = 6.67 g of salt

If 1 L of lake Parson  water has 6.67 g of salt. Then 21.0 grams of salt will be in ;

\frac{1}{6.67}\times 21.0 L = 3.15 L

Water evaporated = 3.15 L - 1 L = 2.15 L

The percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated:

\frac{2.15 L}{3.15 L}\times 100=68.25\%

soaps do not work well in hard waters. But they can still be effected it large quantities of soap are added to water. Explain wh
Nookie1986 [14]

They can still be effected it large quantities of soap are added to water

because more soap eliminates the effect the minerals in hard water has on

its cleaning capacity.

Hard water contains minerals such as

  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
  • Iron etc.

They reduce the cleaning capacity of the soap. This is why soft water is

preferably used as it doesn't contain these minerals.

When more soap is added, the effect of the minerals reduces thereby

bringing about very little or no effect on the cleaning capacity of the soap.

State the Periodic Law. Why is it so important in the study of chemistry?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Summary. To summarize, the periodic table is important because it is organized to provide a great deal of information about elements and how they relate to one another in one easy-to-use reference. The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not yet been discovered.

Gases tend to deviate from the ideal gas law at
MrRa [10]

Answer:

<em>Gases tend to deviate from ideal gas law at </em><u><em>high pressures and low temperatures.</em></u>

Explanation:

The main statements from molecular kinetic theory to describe an ideal gas is that 1) the gas particles occupy a neglictible fraction of the total volume of the gas, and 2) there is not force of attraction between gas particles.

HIgh pressure means that the gas particles will be forced  closer to each other, making that the mean distance between the particles be realtively more important and their volume less neglictible. This is a violation the first assumption described above.

Since the temperature is directly related to the kinetic energy, and the latter with the movement of the particles (average speed), low temperatures lead to the molecules being less independent of each other, i.e. the forces between the molecules will count more . This fact constitutes a violation of the second principle established in the first paragraph.

In <u>conclusion</u>, <em>high pressures and low temperatures tend to deviate gases from the ideal gas law.</em>
