Nitrogen is used to keep food frozen during transportation.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Greeley [361]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Gaseous nitrogen has unique chemical and physical properties that make it suitable for use in food processing. Nitrogen is inert which means it will not react with prepared food materials, which can alter their aromas or flavors. Also, gaseous nitrogen will effectively displace oxygen minimizing oxidation and the growth of microorganisms that cause foods to lose their freshness and deteriorate faster.

What is the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 2?
erastova [34]

Answer:

0.01M = [H⁺]; 1x10⁻¹²M = [OH⁻]; Ratio is: 1x10¹⁰

Explanation:

pH is defined as -log [H⁺]

For a pH of 2 we can solve [H⁺] as follows:

pH = -log [H⁺]

2 = -log [H⁺]

10^-2 = [H⁺]

<h3>0.01M = [H⁺]</h3>

Using Keq of water:

Keq = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [H⁺] [OH⁻]

1x10⁻¹⁴ / 0.01M = [OH⁻]

<h3>1x10⁻¹²M = [OH⁻]</h3><h3 />

The ratio is:

[H⁺] / [OH⁻] = 0.01 / 1x10⁻¹² =

<h3>1x10¹⁰</h3>

When the vapor pressure of water is 0.106 mmHg, determine the reaction quotient for that above equilibrium.
TEA [102]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete and lacks necessary data to solve. However, I have found a similar question and I will be using its data to solve this question for the sake of understanding and concept.

Solution:

Equilibrium Reaction:

CaO(s) + H2O(g) -->Ca(OH)2(s)    

We need to find the reaction quotient for this question:

Q = \frac{1}{P_{H20} }

Here, only the pressure of the gaseous reactant will be used and here H20 is the only reactant which is gaseous.

And we are given that, vapor pressure of water is = 0.106 mmHg

So,

Now, we need to convert it into atm

so, 1atm = 760 mmHg

0.106 mmHg = 0.106/760 atm

0.106 mmHg = 1.394 x 10^{-4} atm

Plugging in the values in the equation, we get:

Q = \frac{1}{P_{H20} }

Q = \frac{1}{1.394 . 10^{-4} }

Q = 7173.60 atm^{-1}

What is Zeff of phosphorus
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here is an illustration showing how to "calculate" +5 as the effective nuclear charge (Zeff) for phosphorus. We are not implying that the electrons are in orbits here, this is simply showing inner shell electrons that shield the outer valence electrons from the full nuclear charge.
