What effects can acid rain have on plants in a forest

1 answer:

8 0

Scientists believe that acidic water dissolves the nutrients and helpful minerals in the soil and then washes them away before the trees and other plants can use them to grow. At the same time, the acid rain causes the release of toxic substances such as aluminum into the soil.

If the process involves a chemical reaction then surely it is a chemical change where new bonds are being formed from the collision of the reactants.

Describe how many atoms are involved before and after. what do you notice about the number of atoms?

From the balanced chemical reaction, we see that we need 1 mol of N2 gas and 3 mol of H2 in order to form 2 mol of NH3.

What is the average atomic mass of the element?

morpeh [17]

The average atomic mass of element X is 14.007 u.

The average atomic mass of X is the <em>weighted average</em> of the atomic masses of its isotopes.

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its <em>relative importance</em> (i.e., its % abundance).

Thus,

0.996 36 × 14.003 u =13.952 03 u

0.003 64 × 15.000 u = <u>0.054 60 u</u>

__________TOTAL = 14.007 u

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Consider the reaction: $NO_2(g)+CO(g)\rightleftharpoons NO(g)+CO_2(g)$

Kc = 0.30 at some temperature.

If the initial mixture has the concentrations below, the system is_______.

Chemicals Concentration (mol/L)

- NO₂ 0.024

- CO 0.360

- NO 0.180

- CO₂ 0.120

Possible answers:

1) not at equilibrium and will remain in an unequilibrated state.

2) not at equilibrium and will shift to the left to achieve an equilibrium state.

3) not at equilibrium and will shift to the right to achieve an equilibrium state.

4) at equilibrium

Answer : The correct option is, (2) not at equilibrium and will shift to the left to achieve an equilibrium state.

Explanation:

Reaction quotient (Qc) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

First we have to determine the value of reaction quotient (Qc).

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$NO_2(g)+CO(g)\rightleftharpoons NO(g)+CO_2(g)$

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

$Q_c=\frac{[NO][CO_2]}{[NO_2][CO]}$

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

$Q_c=\frac{(0.180)\times (0.120)}{(0.024)\times (0.360)}=2.5$

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

There are 3 conditions:

When $Q>K$ that means product > reactant. So, the reaction is reactant favored.

When $Q$ that means reactant > product. So, the reaction is product favored.

When $Q=K$ that means product = reactant. So, the reaction is in equilibrium.

The given equilibrium constant value is, $K_c=0.30$

From the above we conclude that, the $Q>K$ that means reactant < product. So, the reaction is reactant favored that means reaction must shift to the reactant or left to be in equilibrium.

Hence, the correct option is, (2) not at equilibrium and will shift to the left to achieve an equilibrium state.
