c. sandstone in the zone of saturation

Explanation:

The best aquifer of all is a sandstone in the zone of saturation. An aquifer is a porous and permeable formation where groundwater can accumulate.

To be a good aquifer, a rock or soil must be porous and permeable.
Porosity is the amount of void spaces present in a rock.
Permeability is the inter-connectivity of the pore spaces.

The zone of saturation is the zone below the water table where water is always present underground.

Sandstones have high porosity and permeability.
They are good aquifers when found at the zone of saturation.

An I.V. infusion order is received for Lidocaine 2 g in 250 ml of 0.9% NaCl to be infused at 3 mg/min. What will the flow rate b

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The flow rate would be 22.5ml/hr

Explanation:

Volumetric flow rate = Mass flow rate ÷ density

Mass flow rate = 3mg/min = 3mg/min × 60min/1hr = 180mg/hr

Density = mass/volume = 2g/250ml = 0.008g/ml = 0.008g/ml × 1000mg/1g = 8mg/ml

Volumetric flow rate = 180mg/hr ÷ 8mg/ml = 22.5ml/hr

A beaker with 1.60×102 mL of an acetic acid buffer with a pH of 5.000 is sitting on a benchtop. The total molarity of acid and c

stich3 [128]

Answer:

The pH will change 0.16 ( from 5.00 to 4.84)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

volume of acetic acid buffer = 160 mL

The total molarity of acid and conjugate base in this buffer is 0.100 M

A student adds 7.10 mL of a 0.460 M HCl solution to the beaker.

The pKa of acetic acid is 4.740

pH = 5.00

Step 2: Calculate concentration of acid

Consider x = concentration acid

Consider y = concentration conjugate base

x + y = 0.100

5.00 = 4.740 + log y/x

5.00 - 4.740 = log y/x

0.26 = log y/x

10^0.26 =1.82 = y/x

1.82 x = y

Since x+y = 0.100

x + 1.82 x = 0.100

2.82 x = 0.100

x =0.0355 M = concentration acid

Step 3: Calculate concentration of conjugate base

y = 0.100 - x

0.100 - 0.0355 =0.0645 M= concentration conjugate base

Step 4: Calculate moles of acid

Moles = volume * molarity

moles acid = 0.160 L * 0.0355 M= 0.00568 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles of conjugate base

moles conjugate base = 0.0645 M * 0.160 L=0.01032 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles HCl

moles HCl = 7.10 * 10^-3 L * 0.460 M=0.003266 moles

Step 7: Calculate new moles

A- + H+ = HA

moles conjugate base = 0.01032 - 0.003266 =0.007054 moles

moles acid = 0.00568 + 0.003266=0.008946 moles

Step 8: Calculate the total volume

total volume = 160 + 7.10 = 167.1 mL = 0.1671 L

Step 9: Calculate the concentration of the acid

concentration acid = 0.008946/ 0.1671 =0.0535 M

Step 10: Calculate the concentration of conjugate base

concentration conjugate base = 0.007054/ 0.1671 =0.0422 M

Step 11: Calculate the pH

pH = 4.740 + log 0.0535/ 0.0422=4.84

change pH = 5.00 - 4.84=0.16

The pH will change 0.16

suter [353]

The reaction of removing CO2 using LiOH is the following:

2 LiOH + CO2 -----> Li2CO3 + H2O

By solving the amount of CO2 the LiOH can scrub:

(3.50 × 10^4 g LiOH) (1 mol LiOH/ 24 g LiOH) ( 1 mol CO2 / 2 mol LiOH) ( 44 g CO2 /1 mol CO2) = 32, 083.33 g CO2 it can scrub

<span>Since number of astronaut = 32, 083.33 g / 9 (8.8 × 10^2) = 4 astronaut</span>

How are acids and ionic compounds similar?

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: Ionic compounds are held together by the virtue of their opposing charges. Na+Cl- for example. If we consider Hg+(2Cl-)2, a mercuric chloride, the solubility is much less. Ba++(SO)4 Barium Sulphate, is highly insoluble; all differ by the relative attractiveness by Differing opposing charge(s).

Acids are very similar, consider Formic Acid, HCOOH, the simplest of the Carboxylic Acids. It dissociates more than say Benzoic Acid, C6H5-COOH. But neither disassociate as fully as Nitric Acid HNO3.

So the relative disassociation of the H+ (proton), or H3O+, (Hydronium ion), from any of these in water vary for a number of reasons we need not consider now.

Here is a “Tricky One!” (And very nasty). Take HF liquid or gas. This is one of the strongest acids on Earth - AS A LIQUID compound OR GAS. It will dissociate essentially near completion! Eat the floor, and is very dangerous.

NOW - HF (aqueous). The HF is in water. Very like HCl? NO! Why you may ask...The Electrophilic nature of Fluorine, “bathed in water, with an H+ all its own”, doesn’t let it go as easily!

HF is HIGHLY ordered in water, you can almost imagine a sort of “Hydrated matrix”, little HFs in endless rows...

BUT BE WARNED - even the aqueous HF is so reactive it will dissolve bone!

(I was told it was extremely painful; and did not appear to heal for weeks!)

Explanation: so, both types of compounds have a similarity, held together by the strength of their opposing charges or the degree of dissociation, (using water for simplicity).

That should do it.

1. write the complete chemical symbol for the ion with 14 protons 15 neutrons and 18 electrons

motikmotik

Answer:

1. $Si^{-4}$

2. $Co^{+2}$

Explanation:

An ion is formed when an atom that is said to be neutral gains or losses electrons.

It is thought that a negative ion (anion) is produced as it gains electrons and a positive ion (cation) is formed when it loses an electron.

Atomic number is the total number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom.

From the information

Protons = 14

electron = 18

Net Charge = no of proton - no of electron

= 14 - 18 = -4

Mass number = 14 + 15 = 29

Thus, the chemical symbol = $Si^{-4}$

For ion with 27 proton, 32 neutrons and 25 electrons

Net charge = 27 - 25 = +2

Mass number = 27 + 32 = 59

Thus, the chemical symbol = $Co^{+2}$
