How do you think the fertilizer entered into the water supply?

Chemistry
1 answer:
shtirl [24]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Fertilizer can enter water supply by rainwater into a stream as runoff

Explanation:

Lawn and garden chemicals, such as fertilizers enter the groundwater in two ways. In the first method, the chemicals can enter the groundwater by rainwater into a stream as runoff. .The water in streams replenishes groundwater, so the chemicals are absorbed into the groundwater as well.

A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 5.57 104 L at 0.995 atm and 32.0°C. After it is released, it r
Alchen [17]

6.52 × 10⁴ L. (3 sig. fig.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Helium is a noble gas. The interaction between two helium molecules is rather weak, which makes the gas rather "ideal."

Consider the ideal gas law:

P\cdot V = n\cdot R\cdot T,

where

  • P is the pressure of the gas,
  • V is the volume of the gas,
  • n is the number of gas particles in the gas,
  • R is the ideal gas constant, and
  • T is the absolute temperature of the gas in degrees Kelvins.

The question is asking for the final volume V of the gas. Rearrange the ideal gas equation for volume:

V = \dfrac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{P}.

Both the temperature of the gas, T, and the pressure on the gas changed in this process. To find the new volume of the gas, change one variable at a time.

Start with the absolute temperature of the gas:

  • T_0 = (32.0 + 273.15) \;\text{K} = 305.15\;\text{K},
  • T_1 = (-14.5 + 273.15) \;\text{K} = 258.65\;\text{K}.

The volume of the gas is proportional to its temperature if both n and P stay constant.

  • n won't change unless the balloon leaks, and
  • consider P to be constant, for calculations that include T.

V_1 = V_0 \cdot \dfrac{T_1}{T_2} = 5.57\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}\times \dfrac{258.65\;\textbf{K}}{305.15\;\textbf{K}} = 4.72122\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}.

Now, keep the temperature at T_1 =258.65\;\text{K} and change the pressure on the gas:

  • P_1 = 0.995\;\text{atm},
  • P_2 = 0.720\;\text{atm}.

The volume of the gas is proportional to the reciprocal of its absolute temperature \dfrac{1}{T} if both n and T stays constant. In other words,

V_2 = V_1 \cdot\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{P_2}}{\dfrac{1}{P_1}} = V_1\cdot\dfrac{P_1}{P_2} = 4.72122\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}\times\dfrac{0.995\;\text{atm}}{0.720\;\text{atm}}=6.52\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}

(3 sig. fig. as in the question.).

See if you get the same result if you hold T constant, change P, and then move on to change T.

Electrochemical cells can be used to measure ionic concentrations. A cell is set up with a pair of Zn electrodes, each immersed
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

the concentration of the solution is 0.00906 M

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that from Nernst Equation;

E = E⁰ - ((0.0592/n) logQ)

now, E₀ for concentration cell is 0

n for this redox is 2

concentration of the unknown solution is x

so we substitute

0.045 = 0 - ( 0.0592 / 2)log( x/0.300 ))

0.045 = -0.0296log( x/0.300 )

divide both side by 0.0296

1.52 = -log( x/0.300 )

x/0.300 = 10^{-1.52

x/0.300 = 0.0301995

we cross multiply

x = 0.300 × 0.0301995

x =  0.00906 M

Therefore, the concentration of the solution is 0.00906 M

What is the name of the hydrocarbon CH3(CH2)6CH3?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer is: n-octane.

Octane is the straight-chain alkane (an acyclic saturated hydrocarbon) with eight carbon atoms.

Carbons in octane have sp3 hybridization (carbon’s 2s and three 2p orbitals combine into four identical sp3 orbitals).

Orbitals in sp3 hybridization have a tetrahedral arrangement and form single (sigma) bonds.

Burning octane fuel is very fast chemical reaction, it happens in immediately.

Main products of the combustion of fossil fuels are carbon(IV) oxide and water.  

Chemical reaction: C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O; ΔH = -5500 kJ/mol.
