Is change in atmospheric co2 levels likely to impact marine life

1 answer:

4 0

The addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere takes place due to human activities like the burning of fossil fuels. The oceans play an essential role in maintaining the carbon cycle of the Earth in balance. With the elevation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, more absorption of carbon dioxide takes place by the oceans.

In the ocean, carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to produce carbonic acid, this ultimately leads to an increase in acidity of seawater, also known as ocean acidification.

With the increase in acidity, it becomes tougher for corals to construct skeletons and for shellfish and other creatures to manufacture the shells they require for protection. The corals are mainly essential as they offer habitation to various sea creatures.

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

Suppose we now collect hydrogen gas, H₂(g), over water at 21°C in a vessel with total pressure of 743 Torr. If the hydrogen gas is produced by the reaction of aluminum with hydrochloric acid:

$2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3(aq)+3H_2(g)$

what volume of hydrogen gas will be collected if 1.35 g Al(s) reacts with excess HCl(aq)? Express your answer in liters.

Answer : The volume of hydrogen gas that will be collected is 1.85 L

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the number of moles of aluminium.

Given mass of aluminium = 1.35 g

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

$\text{Moles of aluminium}=\frac{1.35g}{27g/mol}=0.05mol$

The given chemical reaction is:

$2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3(aq)+3H_2(g)$

As, hydrochloric acid is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, aluminium is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium produces 3 moles of hydrogen gas

So, 0.005 moles of aluminium will produce = $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.05=0.0750mol$ of hydrogen gas

Now we have to calculate the mass of helium gas by using ideal gas equation.

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of hydrogen gas = 743 Torr

V = Volume of the helium gas = ?

n = number of moles of hydrogen gas = 0.075 mol

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature of hydrogen gas = $21^oC=[21+273]K=294K$

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

$743Torr\times V=0.075mol\times 62.364\text{ L Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 294K\\\\V=1.85L$

Hence, the volume of hydrogen gas that will be collected is 1.85 L

Answer:

V = 80.65L

Explanation:

Volume = ?

Number of moles n = 5 mol

Temperature (T) = 393.15K

Pressure = 1520mmHg

Ideal gas constant (R) = 62.363mmHg.L/mol.K

According to ideal gas law,

PV = nRT

P = pressure of the ideal gas

V = volume the gas occupies

n = number of moles of the gas

R = ideal gas constant (note this can varies depending on the unit of your variables)

T = temperature of the ideal gas

PV = nRT

Solve for V,

V = nRT / P

V = (5 * 62.363 * 393.15) / 1520

V = 80.65L

The volume the gas occupies is 80.65L
