Answer:

142.36 kg

Explanation:

volume of water in the lake = surface area x depth

= 18.5 x ( 1760 x 3 )² x 39 ft³

= 2.011 x 10¹⁰ ft³

= 2.011 x 10¹⁰ x 28.3168 liter .

= 56.945 x 10¹⁰ liter .

concentration of mercury = .25 x 10⁻⁶ g / liter

= 25 x 10⁻⁸ g / liter

= 25 x 10⁻¹¹ kg / liter

mass of mercury in the water of lake

= 25 x 10⁻¹¹ x 56.945 x 10¹⁰ kg

= 142.36 kg .

A gas has a pressure of 3 atm at 350°C. What will its pressure be at 250°C? The volume and amount of gas is constant. Hint: Conv
vichka [17]

<u>We are given:</u>

P1 = 3 atm                  T1 = 623 K <em>(350 + 273)</em>

P2 = x atm                 T2 = 523 K <em>(250 + 273)</em>

<em />

<u>Solving for x:</u>

From the idea gas equation:

PV = nRT

since number of moles (n) , Volume (V) and the Universal Gas constant(R) are constants;

P / T = k   (where k is a constant)

the value of  k will be the same for a gas with variable pressure and temperature and constant moles and volume

Hence, we can say that:

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

3 / 623 = x / 523

x = 523 * 3 / 623

x = 2.5 atm (approx)

Therefore, the final pressure is 2.5 atm

An aqueous solution of 1.29 M ethanol, CH3CH2OH, has a density of 0.988 g/mL. The percent by mass of CH3CH2OH in the solution is
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

6%

Explanation:

Hello, for this case, we assume that the volume of the solution is 1L, thus, the mass is given by using the density as follows:

m_{solution}=1L*\frac{1000 mL}{1L}*\frac{0.988g}{1mL} =988g

Now, the mass of the ethanol:

m_{C_2H_5OH}=(1.29molC_2H_5OH/L*1L)*\frac{46gC_2H_5OH}{1molC_2H_5OH} \\m_{C_2H_5OH}=59.34g

Finally, the by mass percent is:

m/m=\frac{59.34g}{988g}*100\\%

%m=6%

Best regards.
