Explanation:

The hydrological cycle is the continuous cycling of water between land, open water surfaces and the sea. This cycle begins with evaporation, sunlight evaporates water from the surface of earth, next condensation happens, the water absorbed is now used to form clouds, after these clouds are filled to the maximum, precipitation happens, this can be in the form of rainfall and snow, this cycle finalizes when the precipitation of water runs off the land and back into water sources.

Sources of water pollution:

During precipitation: Smog can be gathered in the atmosphere, during precipitation this pollution can turn into acid rain.
During runoff: After acid rain hits the ground this polluted water can run into water sources (lakes, rivers, reservoirs).To some extent rivers are a self-renewing resource, if a small quantity of pollution discharges in it the river can return to a clean, unpolluted condition, unfortunately, if the pollution is too big the renewing won't be possible, another problem is even though rivers get cleaned the pollution moves to the seas. Lakes are even more vulnerable to pollution, the flushing effect in these water bodies is less evident than in rivers.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

How many joules of heat are removed from a 21.0 g sample of water if it is cooled from 34.0°C

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

527.184 J of heat is removed from a 21 g water sample if it is cooled from 34.0 ° C to 28.0 ° C.

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

When the heat added or removed from a substance causes a change in temperature in it, this heat is called sensible heat.

In other words, the sensible heat of a body is the amount of heat received or transferred by a body when it undergoes a change in temperature without there being a change in physical state (solid, liquid or gaseous). The equation that allows to calculate this heat exchange is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

Where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, constituted by a substance of specific heat c and where ΔT=Tfinal-Tinitial is the change in temperature.

In this case:

c= 4.184 $\frac{J}{g*C}$
m=21 g
ΔT=Tfinal-Tinitial=28 °C - 34 °C=-6 °C

Replacing:

Q= 4.184 $\frac{J}{g*C}$ * 21 g* (-6 C)

Q= - 527.184 J

To lower the temperature, heat has to be given, for that the final temperature must be lower than the initial temperature; and it receives the name of transferred heat and has a negative value, as in this case.

527.184 J of heat is removed from a 21 g water sample if it is cooled from 34.0 ° C to 28.0 ° C.

HELP WITH CHEMISTRY PLEASE!

maria [59]

Answer:

1) 1.52 atm.

2) 647.85 K.

3) 20.56 L.

4) 1.513 mole.

5) 254.22 K = -18.77 °C.

Explanation:

In all this points, we should use the law of ideal gas to solve this problem: PV = nRT.
Where, P is the pressure (atm), V is the volume (L), n is the number of moles, R is the general gas constant (0.082 L.atm/mol.K), and T is the temperature (K).

1) In this point; n, R, and T are constants and the variables are P and V.

P and V are inversely proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: P1V1 = P2V2.

In our problem:

P1 = ??? (is needed to be calculated) and V1 = 45.0 L.

P2 = 5.7 atm and V2 = 12.0 L.

Then, the original pressure (P1) = P2V2 / V1 = (5.7 atm x 12.0 L) / (45.0 L) = 1.52 atm.

2) In this case, n and R are the constants and the variables are P, V, and T.

P and V are inversely proportional to each other and both of them are directly proportional to the temperature of the gas that if we have two cases we get: P1V1T2 = P2V2T1.

In our problem:

P1 = 212.0 kPa, V1 = 32.0 L, and T1 = 20.0 °C = (20 °C + 273) = 293 K.

P2 = 300.0 kPa, V2= 50.0 L, and T2 = ??? (is needed to be calculated)

Then, the temperature in the second case (T2) = P2V2T1 / P1V1 = (300.0 kPa x 50.0 L x 293 K) / (212.0 kPa x 32.0 L) = 647.85 K.

3) In this case, P, n and R are the constants and the variables are V, and T.

V and T are directly proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: V1T2 = V2T1.

In our problem:

V1 = 25.0 L and T1 = 65.0 °C + 273 = 338 K.

V2 = ??? (is needed to be calculated) and T2 = 5.0 °C + 273 = 278 K.

Herein, there is no necessary to convert T into K.

Then, the volume in the second case (V2) = V1T2 / T1 = (25.0 L x 278 °C) / (338 °C) = 20.56 L.

4) We can get the number of moles that will fill the container from: n = PV/RT.

P = 250.0 kPa, we must convert the unit from kPa to atm; 101.325 kPa = 1.0 atm, then P = (1.0 atm x 250.0 kPa) / (101.325 kPa) = 2.467 atm.

V = 16.0 L.

R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K.

T = 45 °C + 273 = 318 K.

Now, n = PV/RT = (2.467 atm x 16.0 L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K x 318 K) = 1.513 mole.

5) In this case, V, n and R are the constants and the variables are P, and T.

P and T are directly proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: P1T2 = P2T1.

In our problem:

P1 = 2200.0 mmHg and T1 = ??? (is needed to be calculated) .

P2 = 2700.0 mmHg and T2 = 39.0 °C + 273 = 312.0 K.

Herein, there is no necessary to convert P into atm.

Then, the temperature in the morning (T1) = P1T2 / P2 = (2200.0 mmHg x 312.0 K) / (2700.0 mmHg) = 254.22 K = -18.77 °C.

A molecule that oxidized gains electrons and energy. true or false

I suppose it false, since the oxidation involves the loss or removal of the electrons such forth it does not gain electrons.
