<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

Given 6.98 x 10 4 power grams of iron, calculate the moles of iron present
KiRa [710]

Answer:

1249.88 mol.

Explanation:

∵ no. of moles of Fe = mass of Fe/atomic weight of Fe.

<em>∴ no. of moles of Fe </em>= (6.98 x 10⁴ g)/(55.845 g/mol) = <em>1249.88 mol.</em>

Which of the following is the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent?
Lyrx [107]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A ketone is an organic functional group that contains a carbon and oxygen atom bonded together through a double bond, that is, C=O.

For example, acetone CH_{3}-CO-CH_{3} is a ketone.

Whereas a hydrocodone is a drug which is used to relieve from moderate to sever pain.It is mostly combined with other drugs and resulting in a chemical formula C_{18}H_{21}NO_{3}.C_{4}H_{6}O_{6}.

A camphor is a volatile white color substance with chemical formula C_{10}H_{16}O. It has aromatic smell and its taste is bitter.

A menthone is also an organic compound with chemical formula C_{10}H_{18}O.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent is acetone.
