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

When a substance such as ice melts, its temperature increases. Describe what happens to the arrangement of the water molecules a
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The molecules absorb heat and acquire more kinetic energy.

Explanation:

In a solid, the solids only vibrate about their mean positions but do not translate. When energy is supplied to the molecule in the form of heat, the molecules vibrate faster. Eventually, they acquire sufficient energy to leave their mean positions and translate. Hence the solid crystal collapses.

When ice is heated, water molecules acquire sufficient kinetic energy to translate. The intermolecular bonds are gradually broken in the solid framework as heat is absorbed. The heat required for this is known as the latent heat of fusion.

The temperature remains constant until phase transition is over, then temperature rise resumes.

The properties of compounds are (what?) to the elements that make it up. *
Lana71 [14]

Answer:A compound is a unique substance that forms when two or more elements combine chemically. A compound always has the same elements in the same proportions. The properties of compounds may be very different from the properties of the elements that form them. Some compounds form rigid frameworks called crystals.

Do you think humans should have the power to choose what their offspring will look like? Why?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

No because their children shouln't be born into this world as if they were a customized doll. It could also be seen as sexualizing them because they would most likely make them to their liking which is inappropriate because you dont know what the parents intentions could be with it.
