Answer:

a) <em>C</em> Cu = 1588.6 mg/L

b) <em>C</em> Cu = 1588600 μg/L

c) this concentration exceeds the acute freshwater criteria:

<em>∴ C</em> Cu = 1588.6 mg/L >> 0.065 mg/L

Explanation:

<em>∴ C</em> Cu = 2.5 E-2 mol/L

∴Mw Cu = 63.546 g/mol

a) <em>C</em> Cu = 2.5 E-2 mol/L * 63.546 g/mol = 1.5886 g/L

⇒ <em>C</em> Cu = 1.5886 g/L * ( 1000 mg/g ) = 1588,6 mg/L

b) <em>C</em> Cu =  1588.6 mg/L * ( μg / 0.001 mg ) = 1588600 μg/L

c) <em>C</em> Cu = 65 ppb * ( ppm / 1000ppb ) = 0.065 ppm = 0.065 mg/L

∴ ppm ≡ mg/L

⇒ <em>C</em> Cu = 1588.6 mg/L >> 0.065 mg/L; this concentration exceeds the acute freshwater criteria

Calculate the ph of a solution whose(oh^-) is 4.583*10^-5 mole dm cube (pkw=14)​
Sergeu [11.5K]

pH of solution = 9.661

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

pH is the degree of acidity of a solution that depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions. The greater the value the more acidic the solution and the smaller the pH.

pH = - log [H⁺]

So that the two quantities between pH and [H⁺] are inversely proportional because they are associated with negative values.

pOH=-log[OH⁻]

\tt pOH=-log[4.583\times 10^{-5}]\\\\pOH=5-log~4.583=4.339

pH+pOH=pKw

\tt pH=14-4.339\\\\pH=9.661

An unknown gas diffuses 0.25 times as fast as helium. What is it’s molar mass? What steps are to be done?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

64.0 g/mol.

Explanation:

  • Thomas Graham found that, at a constant  temperature and pressure the rates of effusion  of various gases are inversely proportional to  the square root of their masses.

<em>∨ ∝ 1/√M.</em>

where, ∨ is the rate of diffusion of the gas.

M is the molar mass of the gas.

<em>∨₁/∨₂ = √(M₂/M₁)</em>

∨₁ is the rate of effusion of the unknown gas.

∨₂ is the rate of effusion of He gas.

M₁ is the molar mass of the unknown gas.

M₂ is the molar mass of He gas (M₂ = 4.0 g/mol).

<em>∨₁/∨₂ = 0.25.</em>

∵ ∨₁/∨₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

∴ (0.25) =√(4.0 g/mol)/(M₁)

<u><em>By squaring the both sides:</em></u>

∴ (0.25)² = (4.0 g/mol)/(M₁)

∴ M₁ = (4.0 g/mol)/(0.25)² = 64.0 g/mol.

Consider this reaction:
aleksklad [387]

Answer:   0.0345 sec

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

Rate=k[H_3PO_4]^2

k= rate constant = 46.6s^{-1}

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

for completion of 20 % of reaction

t=\frac{2.303}{46.6}\log\frac{0.660}{\frac{20}{100}\times 0.660}

t=\frac{2.303}{46.6}\log\frac{0.660}{0.132}

t=0.0345sec

The time taken for the concentration of H_3PO_4 to decrease to 20% to its natural value is 0.0345 sec

Severe or sudden changes in Earth's atmosphere can cause entire species of animals to die. When all of the members of species di
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: Extinction

Animals on the verge of extinction are considered endangered species. Some could argue that the phrasing "threatened" is synonymous to "endangered". Some classify extinction based on if the species is completely wiped out in the wild, or if the species is completely gone (both in the wild and in zoos for instance). Extinction events are not solely due to the changes in atmosphere, but also due to lack of food or habitat, among other possible factors.

55 kg of liquefied natural gas (lng) are stored in a rigid, sealed 0.17 m3 vessel. in this problem, model lng as 100% methane. d
dexar [7]

I am assuming that the problem ask for the pressure in the system. To be able to calculate this, we first assume that the system acts like an ideal gas, then we can use the ideal gas equation to find for pressure P.

P V = n R T

where,

P = Pressure (unknown)

V = 0.17 m^3

n = moles of lng / methane

R = gas constant = 8.314 Pa m^3 / mol K

T = 200 K

We find for the moles of lng. Molar mass of methane = 16 kg / kmol

n = 55 kg / 16 kg / kmol

n = 3.44 kmol CH4 = 3440 mol

 

Substituting all the values to the ideal gas equation:

P = 3440 mol * (8.314 Pa m^3 / mol K) * 200 K / 0.17 m^3

P = 33,647,247 Pa

<span>P = 33.6 MPa</span>
