Which of the following exerts the greatest pressure on the ground?

2 answers:

7 0

Pressure = (weight) / (area supporting the weight).

From the fraction, you can see that more weight produces more pressure,
and less area produces more pressure.

So, for the greatest pressure, you want the greatest weight supported by
the smallest area.

That would be the 55-kg boy, standing on one foot.

A 55-kg boy standing on one foot is my answer. When you stand on two feet, you don't really exert a lot of pressure because your weight is resting on two feet. And 55-kg sure weighs more than 35. so my answer is 2.

Answer: The concentration of $NH_3$ required will be 0.285 M.

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of $NiC_2O_4$ , we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Moles of $NiC_2O_4$ = 0.016 moles

Volume of solution = 1 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of }NiC_2O_4=\frac{0.016mol}{1L}=0.016M$

For the given chemical equations:

$NiC_2O_4(s)\rightleftharpoons Ni^{2+}(aq.)+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K_{sp}=4.0\times 10^{-10}$

$Ni^{2+}(aq.)+6NH_3(aq.)\rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K_f=1.2\times 10^9$

Net equation: $NiC_2O_4(s)+6NH_3(aq.)\rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K=?$

To calculate the equilibrium constant, K for above equation, we get:

$K=K_{sp}\times K_f\\K=(4.0\times 10^{-10})\times (1.2\times 10^9)=0.48$

The expression for equilibrium constant of above equation is:

$K=\frac{[C_2O_4^{2-}][[Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}]}{[NiC_2O_4][NH_3]^6}$

As, $NiC_2O_4$ is a solid, so its activity is taken as 1 and so for $C_2O_4^{2-}$

We are given:

$[[Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}]=0.016M$

Putting values in above equations, we get:

$0.48=\frac{0.016}{[NH_3]^6}}$

$[NH_3]=0.285M$

Hence, the concentration of $NH_3$ required will be 0.285 M.
