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.

A solution with pH of 9 has [OH-] concentration of

Drupady [299]

PH = -log([H+])
[H+] = 10^(-pH)

[H+] = 10^(-9)

[H+][OH-] = Kw
Kw = 1.0*10^-14 at 25 degrees celsius.

[OH-] = Kw/[H+] = (1.0*10^-14)/(1*10^-9) = 1.0*10^-5

The concentration of OH- ions is 1.0*10^-5 M.

When 125 grams of FeO react with 25.0 grams of Al, how many grams of Fe can be produced? FeO + Al → Fe + Al2O3 25.9 g Fe 38.7 g

Serga [27]

Answer: The mass of iron produced will be 77.6 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For FeO:

Given mass of FeO = 125 g

Molar mass of FeO = 71.8 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of FeO}=\frac{125g}{71.8g/mol}=1.74mol$

For aluminium:

Given mass of aluminium = 25.0 g

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aluminium}=\frac{25.0g}{27g/mol}=0.93mol$

The given chemical reaction follows:

$3FeO+2Al\rightarrow 3Fe+Al_2O_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium metal reacts with 3 mole of FeO

So, 0.93 moles of aluminium metal will react with = $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.93=1.395mol$ of FeO

As, given amount of FeO is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, aluminium metal is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium metal produces 3 mole of iron metal

So, 0.93 moles of aluminium metal will produce = $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.93=1.395moles$ of iron metal

Now, calculating the mass of iron metal from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron = 55.85 g/mol

Moles of iron = 1.395 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.395mol=\frac{\text{Mass of iron}}{55.85g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of iron}=(1.395mol\times 55.85g/mol)=77.6g$

Hence, the mass of iron produced will be 77.6 grams
