What are the reasons for Small Island States are particularly concerned with reducing carbon dioxide emissions

Chemistry
1 answer:
katrin [286]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

- Because it could lead to rise in sea levels which could cause heavy floods in the Small Island States and thus destroy their economies.

Explanation:

The reason is that too much carbon dioxide emissions trapped in the atmosphere can cause global worming which includes climate change and rise in sea levels.

Now, due to the fact that we know islands are lands surrounded by water, a rise in sea level of by as small as 1 metre could be very dangerous to these small islands in that they could cause them to become flooded and thus cause harm to lives and properties thereby damaging their economies.

What is the ph of 0.450 m al(no3)3 [ka for al3+(aq) = 1.00x10-5]? express your answer to two decimal places?
White raven [17]

Answer : The pH of the solution is, 2.67

Explanation :

The equilibrium chemical reaction is:

                           Al^{3+}+H_2O\rightarrow Al(OH)^{2+}+H^+

Initial conc.       0.450                   0               0

At eqm.           (0.450-x)                 x               x

As we are given:

K_a=1.00\times 10^{-5}

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

K_a=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(0.450-x)}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

1.00\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(0.450-x)}

x=0.00212M

The concentration of H^+ = x = 0.00212 M

Now we have to calculate the pH of solution.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (0.00212)

pH=2.67

Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 2.67
