The concentration of ozone in ground-level air can be determined by allowing the gas to react with an aqueous solution of potass

ium iodide, KI, in a redox reaction that produces molecular iodine, molecular oxygen, and potassium hydroxide. Assume 1 atm and 25.0 C
(a) Deduce the balanced reaction for the overall process
(b) Determine the ozone concentration, in ppb, in a 10.0 L sample of outdoor air if it required 17.0 ug of KI to react with it.

Answer:

a) 2KI + O₃ + H₂O ----> I₂ + O₂ + 2KOH

b) Ozone concentration = 0.246 ppb

Explanation:

a) The balanced equation for the reaction is

2KI + O₃ + H₂O ----> I₂ + O₂ + 2KOH

b) We first convert 17 μg of KI to number of moles

Number of moles = (mass)/(molar mass)

Molar mass of KI = 166 g/mol

Mass of KI that reacted = 17 μg = (17 × 10⁻⁶) g

Number of moles = (17 × 10⁻⁶)/166

Number of moles of KI that reacted = (1.0241 × 10⁻⁷) moles

From the stoichiometric balance of the reaction,

2 moles of KI reacts with 1 mole of O₃

Then, (1.0241 × 10⁻⁷) moles of KI will react with (1.0241 × 10⁻⁷ × 1/2) moles of O₃

Number of moles of O₃ that reacted = (5.12 × 10⁻⁸) moles.

To express the amount of O₃ in 10.0 L of air in ppb, we need to convert the amount of O₃ that reacted.

Mass = (number of moles) × (molar mass)

Molar mass of O₃ = 48 g/mol

Mass of O₃ that reacted = (5.12 × 10⁻⁸) × 48 = 0.0000024578 g = (2.46 × 10⁻⁶) g

Concentration in ppb = (Mass of solute in μg)/(volume of solution in L)

Mass of solute = Mass of O₃ = (2.46 × 10⁻⁶) g = 2.46 μg

Volume of solution = 10.0 L

Concentration of O₃ in air in ppb = 2.46/10 = 0.246 ppb

Substituting carbonated soft drinks for dairy products in the diet is a bad idea because the resulting high _______________ inta
nata0808 [166]

Answer: The correct answer is C) carbon dioxide; calcium.

Explanation:

Carbonated soft drinks contain big concentrations of carbon dioxide, which is the bubbles that we see and feel. When these drinks are included regurly in the diet, the carbon dioxide levels are increased; and according to several studies high carbon dioxide values are related with bone loss.

Additionally, calcium is known for being an important nutrient for both formation and maintenance of bones, so inadequate intake of calcium in the diet results in a bone loss.

The table below gives the numbers of protons, electrons, and neutrons in four atoms.
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Atom 3

Explanation:

Protons have a +1 charge, electrons have a -1 charge, and neutrons have no charge and are therefore neutral. The charges will cancel each other when equal. To determine which atom has the a -1 charge, find the atom that has one more electron than it has protons.
