Answer:

Explanation:

Unconfined aquifers are those into which water seeps from the ground surface directly above the aquifer. Confined aquifers are those in which an impermeable dirt/rock layer exists that prevents water from seeping into the aquifer from the ground surface located directly above.

Answer:

For me, it is balanced

Explanation:

Because the amount of element Zn reaction is equal the production. Also as the amount of Hydrogen and Chloride in the reaction and the production are equal.

You wish to measure the iron content of the well water on the new property you are about to buy. You prepare a reference standar

djverab [1.8K]

1.04 ⨯ 10 $^{-4}$ M

<h3>Explanation</h3>

A = ε $\cdot l \cdot c$ by the Beer-Lambert law, where

A the absorbance,
$l$ the path length,
ε the molar absorptivity of the solute, and
$c$ concentration of the solution.

A and ε are the same for both solutions. Therefore, $l \cdot c$ is constant; $l$ is inversely proportional to $c$ . The 100 mL sample would have a concentration 1/4.78 times that of the 45.0 mL reference.

The 13.0 mL standard solution has a concentration of 5.17 ⨯ $10^{-4}$ M. Diluting it to 45.0 mL results in a concentration of $5.17 \times 10^{-4} \times \frac{13.0}{45.0} =$ 1.494 M.

$c$ is inversely related to $l$ for the two solutions. As a result, c₂ = $c_1 \cdot \frac{l_1}{l_2} = 1.494 \times 10^{-4} \times \frac{1}{4.78} =$ 3.126 M.

The 30.0 mL sample has to be diluted by 30.0 / 100.0 times to produce the 100.0 mL solution being tested. The 100.0 mL solution has a concentration of 3.126 M. Therefore, the 30.0 mL solution has a concentration of $3.126 \times \frac{100.0}{30.0} =$ 1.04 ⨯ $10^{-4}$ M.

If 25.3 grams of mercury(II) oxide react to form 23.4 grams of mercury, how many grams of oxygen must simultaneously be formed?

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer : The mass of oxygen formed must be 3.8 grams.

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$2HgO\rightarrow 2Hg+O_2$
