Answer:
Whales facilitate carbon absorption in two ways. On the one hand, their movements — especially when diving — tend to push nutrients from the bottom of the ocean to the surface, where they feed the phytoplankton and other marine flora that suck in carbon, as well as fish and other smaller animals.
Answer:
(A) 0.129 M
(B) 0.237 M
Explanation:
(A) The reaction between potassium hydrogen phthalate and barium hydroxide is:
- 2HA + Ba(OH)₂ → BaA₂ + 2H₂O
Where A⁻ is the respective anion of the monoprotic acid (KC₈H₄O₄⁻).
We <u>convert mass of phthalate to moles</u>, using its molar mass:
- 0.978 g ÷ 156 g/mol = 9.27x10⁻³ mol = 9.27 mmol
Now we <u>convert mmol of HA to mmol of Ba(OH)₂</u>:
- 9.27 mmol HA *
= 6.64 mmol Ba(OH)₂
Finally we calculate the molarity of the Ba(OH)₂ solution:
- 6.64 mmol / 35.8 mL = 0.129 M
(B) The reaction between Ba(OH)₂ and HCl is:
- 2HCl + Ba(OH)₂ → BaCl₂ + 2H₂O
So<u> the moles of HCl that reacted </u>are:
- 17.1 mL * 0.129 M *
= 4.41 mmol HCl
And the <u>molarity of the HCl solution is</u>:
- 4.41 mmol / 18.6 mL = 0.237 M
