What would happen to the annual rates of limestone (CaCO3) precipitation in the ocean if the ocean water were to become much war

mer and more acidic?
Chemistry

stiv31 [10]3 years ago

Answer:

CaCO3 exoskeleton dissolves in acidic water

Explanation:

The increasing CO2 level makes the ocean water acidic and hence reduces the pH. In such acidic environment, marine organism that produce calcium carbonate shells or skeletons are negatively affected. Coral reefs and coralline algae abilities to produce skeleton also reduces.  

Calcium carbonate dissolves in acid. Thus, the more acidic the ocean water is the faster and easier it is to dissolve the exoskeleton and shell of marine organisms made up of calcium carbonate

How many liters of hydrogen gas will be produced at STP from the reaction of 7.179 x 1023 atoms of magnesium with 54.21 g of pho
wlad13 [49]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

18.58 liters of hydrogen gas

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • The equation;

3Mg + 2H₃(PO₄) → Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

  • Atoms of Magnesium = 7.179 x 10^23 atoms
  • Mass of phosphoric acid as 54.21 g

We are required to determine the volume of hydrogen gas produced;

Step 1; moles of Magnesium

1 mole of an element contains 6.02 × 10^23 atoms

therefore;

Moles of Mg = (7.179 x 10^23 ) ÷ (6.02 × 10^23)

                   = 1.193 moles

Step 2: Moles of phosphoric acid

moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass

Molar mass of phosphoric acid = 97.994 g/mol

Therefore;

Moles of Phosphoric acid = 54.21 g ÷ 97.994 g/mol

                                           = 0.553 moles

Step 3: Determine the rate limiting reagent

From the mole ratio of Mg to Phosphoric acid (3 : 2);

1.193 moles of magnesium requires 0.795 moles of phosphoric acid while,

0.0553 moles of phosphoric acid requires 0.8295 moles of Mg

Therefore, phosphoric acid is the rate limiting reagent

step 4: Determine the moles of hydrogen produced

From the equation, w moles of phosphoric acid reacts to produce 3 moles of hydrogen;

Therefore; moles of Hydrogen = moles of phosphoric acid × 3/2

                                                   = 0.553 moles × 3/2

                                                   = 0.8295 moles

Step 5: Volume of hydrogen gas

1 mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters at STP

Therefore;

Volume of Hydrogen = 0.8295 moles × 22.4 L/mol

                                  = 18.58 Liters

Therefore; 18.58 liters of hydrogen gas  will be produced

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction: 2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s) + energy if 46 grams of na and 71 grams of cl2 r
igor_vitrenko [27]
Answer is: 2) 117g.
2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl
Step 1: calculate amount of substance of sodium and chlorine.
n(Na) = m(Na)÷M(Na) = 46g ÷ 23 g/mol = 2 mol.
n(Cl₂) = m(Cl₂)÷M(Cl₂) = 71g ÷ 71 g/mol = 1 mol.
Step 2: calculate amount of substance and mass of sodium-chloride.
Because both sodium and chlorine react completely, we can use both n to compare with n of NaCl.
n(Na) : n(NaCl) = 2:2, 2 mol : n(NaCl) = 2:2
n(NaCl) = 2mol, m(NaCl) = 2mol ·5805 g/mol = 117 g.

When the pressure that a gas exerts on a sealed container changes from 1100 bar to 75.5 bar, the temperature changes from k to 2
Serjik [45]
Gay-Lussac's law gives the relationship between pressure and temperature of gas. For a fixed amount of gas, pressure is directly proportional to temperature at constant volume.
P/T = k
where P - pressure , T - temperature and k - constant
\frac{P1}{T1} =  \frac{P2}{T2}
parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation 
substituting the values in the equation 
\frac{1100 bar}{T}  =  \frac{75.5 bar}{298 K}
T = 4342 K
initial temperature was 4342 K

A rigid container is filled with chlorine gas. The gas has a pressure of 2.75 bar. The tank is then cooled down to -20.0oC at wh
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Original temperature (T1) = - 37.16°C

Explanation:

Given:

Gas pressure (P1) = 2.75 bar

Temperature (T2) = - 20°C

Gas pressure (P2) = 1.48 bar

Find:

Original temperature (T1)

Computation:

Using Gay-Lussac's Law

⇒ P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

⇒ 2.75 / T1 = 1.48 / (-20)

⇒ T1 = (2.75)(-20) / 1.48

⇒ T1 = -55 / 1.48

⇒ T1 = - 37.16°C

Original temperature (T1) = - 37.16°C
