Answer:

C. Corrosive waste

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid is formed when hydrogen chloride gas is dissolved in water. The gas is toxic when inhaled and dissolves very readily in water to form the acid.

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid as it ionizes completely in aqueous solutions to produce chloride ions and hydronium ions.

The concentrated acid is very corrosive in that it dissolves many other substances. Therefore, great care must be taken when handling the concentrated form of the acid.

It poses an environmental hazard due to its corrosive nature. Also, in industries and science laboratories, concentrated hydrochloric acid can corrode metal pipes and should not be drained into pipes without first being diluted.

However, the acid is very important in many industrial as well as laboratory procedures.

Your question looks a bit incomplete as you have the same contents in options a) and d). According to your list, I can't see the correct answer, but I can give you one.The difference between the potential energy of the products of the potential energy of the reactants is equal to the enthalpy of the reaction.

Given the following reaction: NH4SH (s) <--> NH3 (g) + H2S (g) If we start

almond37 [142]

Answer:

D. 0.3 M

Explanation:

NH4SH (s) <--> NH3 (g) + H2S (g)

Initial concentration 0.085mol/0.25L 0 0

Change in concentration -0.2M +0.2 M +0.2M

Equilibrium 0.035mol/0.25 L=0.14M 0.2M 0.2M

concentration

Change in concentration (NH4SH) = (0.085-0.035)mol/0.25L =0.2M

K = [NH3]*[H2S]/[NH4SH] = 0.2M*0.2M/0.14M ≈ 0.29 M ≈ 0.3M

hram777 [196]

N2 + 3H2 ----> 2NH3

you can see 3 moles H2 reacts to form 2 moles NH3 
Therefore moles NH3 = 2 / 3 x moles H2 
= 2/3 x 12.0 mol 
= 8.00 mol NH3 hope this help
