<u>Ans: Mass of H2SO4 present = 231.5*10⁴ kg</u>

Height of rainfall = 1.00 inch = 0.0254 m

Area of rainfall = 1800 miles²

1 mile² = 2.59*10⁶ m²

Therefore area = 1800*2.59*10⁶ = 4.662*10⁹ m²

Volume (V) of rainfall = area (A) * height(h) = 0.0254 * 4.662*10⁹ = 1.184*10⁸ m³

1 m³ = 1000 L

V = 1.184*10¹¹ L

It is given that the pH = 3.70

pH = -log[H+]

[H+] = 10^-pH = 10⁻³.⁷⁰ = 1.995*10⁻⁴M

Now:

Molarity of H2SO4 = moles of H2SO4/volume

moles = 1.995*10⁻⁴moles.L-1 * 1.184*10¹¹ L = 2.362*10⁷ moles

Molar mass of H2SO4 = 98 g/mol

Mass of H2SO4 = 2.362*10⁷ moles * 98 g/mol = 231.48*10⁷ g = 231.5 *10⁴ kg

There are 2.32 x 10^6 kg sulfuric acid in the rainfall. 

Solution: 
We can find the volume of the solution by the product of 1.00 in and 1800 miles2: 
     1800 miles2 * 2.59e+6 sq m / 1 sq mi = 4.662 x 10^9 sq m 
     1.00 in * 1 m / 39.3701 in = 0.0254 m  
     Volume = 4.662 x 10^9 m^2 * 0.0254 m
                  = 1.184 x 10^8 m^3 * 1000 L / 1 m3
                  = 1.184 x 10^11 Liters 

We get the molarity of H2SO4 from the concentration of [H+] given by pH = 3.70: 
     [H+] = 10^-pH = 10^-3.7 = 0.000200 M 
     [H2SO4] = 0.000100 M  
 
By multiplying the molarity of sulfuric acid by the volume of the solution, we can get the number of moles of sulfuric acid: 
     1.184 x 10^11 L * 0.000100 mol/L H2SO4 = 2.36 x 10^7 moles H2SO4 

We can now calculate for the mass of sulfuric acid in the rainfall: 
     mass of H2SO4 = 2.36 x 10^7 moles * 98.079 g/mol
                               = 2.32 x 10^9 g * 1 kg / 1000 g
                               = 2.32 x 10^6 kg H2SO4

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

3.824 atm

Explanation:

From the ideal gas equation

P = mRT/MW × V

m is mass of testosterone = 12.9 g

R is gas constant = 82.057 cm^3.atm/mol.K

T is temperature of benzene solution = 298 K

MW is molecular weight of testosterone = 288.40 g/mol

V is volume of benzene solution = 286 ml = 286 cm^3

P = 12.9×82.057×298/288.4×286 = 3.824 atm

What is evaporation? Describe what happens at the molecular level during evaporation.

 Evaporation happens<span> when atoms or </span>molecules<span> escape from the liquid and turn into a vapor. Not all of the </span>molecules in a liquid have the same energy. <span>Sometimes a </span>liquid<span> can be sitting in one place (maybe a puddle) and its molecules will become a </span>gas<span>.
