Answer:
36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.
Explanation:
Mass of benzene = 30 mg = 0.03 g (1000 mg = 1 g )
Moles benzene =
According to reaction 5 moles of benzene reacts with 15 moles of oxygen gas.
Then 0.0003846 mol of benzene will react with:
of oxygen gas
Mass of 0.0011538 moles of oxygen gas:
0.0011538 mol × 32 g/mol = 0.03692 g = 36.92 mg
36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.
H₃O⁺ = ×
OH = ×
pH = 2.22

<h3>What is pH?</h3>The term pH, which originally stood for "potential of hydrogen" (or "power of hydrogen"), is used in chemistry to describe how acidic or basic an aqueous solution is. Lower pH values are summarized for acidic solutions (solutions with higher H+ ion concentrations) than for basic or alkaline solutions.
The pH scale is inversely indicates to the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and is logarithmic.
⇒pH = -log()
Acidic solutions are those with a pH below 7, and basic solutions are those with a pH above 7, at a temperature of 25 °C (77 °F). At this temperature, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral (e.g. pure water). The pH neutrality relies on temperature, falling below 7 if the temperature rises above 25 °C.
