How can acids cause chemical weathering

Chemistry
1 answer:
scoray [572]2 years ago

Acid rain slowly dissolves rocks due to chemical reactions between the acid and the minerals in the rock. Differential Weathering: Softer, less resistant rocks wear away at a faster rate than more weather resistant rocks. More exposure to acid rain results in more rapid weathering.

What is the mass of the solid NH4Cl formed when 75.5 g of NH3 is mixed with an equal mass of HCl? What is the volume of the gas
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer : The volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of NH_4Cl produced is, 110.7 grams.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

NH_3+HCl\rightarrow NH_4Cl

First we have to calculate the moles of NH_3 and HCl

\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }NH_3}{\text{Molar mass of }NH_3}

Molar mass of NH_3 = 17 g/mole

\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{75.5g}{17g/mole}=4.44mole

and,

\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCl}{\text{Molar mass of }HCl}

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mole

\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{75.5g}{36.5g/mole}=2.07mole

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of NH_3

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of NH_3

From this we conclude that, NH_3 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and HCl is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

The remaining moles of HCl gas = 4.44 - 2.07 = 2.37 moles

Now we have to calculate the volume of the gas remaining.

Using ideal gas equation :

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 752 mmHg = 0.989 atm     (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles of gas = 2.37 moles

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = 14.0^oC=273+14.0=287K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.989atm\times V=2.37mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 287K

V = 56.5 L

Now we have to calculate the moles of NH_4Cl

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of NH_4Cl

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of NH_4Cl

Now we have to calculate the mass of NH_4Cl

\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=\text{ Moles of }NH_4Cl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NH_4Cl

Molar mass of NH_4Cl = 53.5 g/mole

\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=(2.07moles)\times (53.5g/mole)=110.7g

Thus, the volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of NH_4Cl produced is, 110.7 grams.

Explain how the understanding of penetrating power can be used to protect yourself from different types of ionizing radiation.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Radiation is energy. It can come from unstable atoms that undergo radioactive decay, or it can be produced by machines. Radiation travels from its source in the form of energy waves or energized particles. There are different forms of radiation and they have different properties and effects.
