Explain why liquid freshwater is considered a limited resource.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Eduardwww [97]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Freshwater is such a limited resource because there is such a little amount of freshwater found on Earth. About 77% of fresh water on Earth is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. Because of this, there is very little fresh water available for humans to use.

Explanation: Hope this helps.

A mixture containing nitrogen and hydrogen weighs 3.49 g and occupies a volume of 7.45 L at 305 K and 1.03 atm. Calculate the ma
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Mass percent N₂ = 89%

Mass percent H₂ = 11%

Explanation:

First we <u>use PV=nRT to calculate n</u>, which is the total number of moles of nitrogen and hydrogen:

  • 1.03 atm * 7.45 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 305 K
  • n = 0.307 mol

So now we know that

  • MolH₂ + MolN₂ = 0.307 mol

and

  • MolH₂ * 2 g/mol + MolN₂ * 28 g/mol = 3.49 g

So we have a <u>system of two equations and two unknowns</u>. We use algebra to solve it:

Express MolH₂ in terms of MolN₂:

  • MolH₂ + MolN₂ = 0.307 mol
  • MolH₂ = 0.307 - MolN₂

Replace that value in the second equation:

  • MolH₂ * 2 g/mol + MolN₂ * 28 g/mol = 3.49
  • (0.307-MolN₂) * 2 + MolN₂ * 28 = 3.49
  • 0.614 - 2MolN₂ + 28molN₂ = 3.49
  • 0.614 + 26MolN₂ = 3.49
  • MolN₂ = 0.111 mol

Now we calculate MolH₂:

  • MolH₂ + MolN₂ = 0.307 mol
  • MolH₂ + 0.111 = 0.307
  • MolH₂ = 0.196 mol

Finally, we convert each of those mol numbers to mass, to <u>calculate the mass percent</u>:

  • N₂ ⇒ 0.111 mol * 28 g/mol = 3.108 g N₂
  • H₂ ⇒ 0.196 mol * 2 g/mol = 0.392 g H₂

Mass % N₂ = 3.108/3.49 * 100% = 89.05% ≅ 89%

Mass % H₂ = 0.392/3.49 * 100% = 11.15% ≅ 11%

A solution was prepared by dissolving 2.2 g of an unknown solute in 16.7 g of CCl4. A thermal analysis was performed for this so
laila [671]

Answer:

Molar mass of unknown solute is 679 g/mol

Explanation:

Let us assume that the solute is a non-electrolyte.

For a solution with non-electrolyte solute remains dissolved in it -

Depression in freezing point of solution, \Delta T_{f}=K_{f}.m

where, m is molality of solute in solution and K_{f} is cryogenoscopic constant of solvent.

Here \Delta T_{f}=(-22.9^{0}\textrm{C})-(-28.7^{0}\textrm{C})=5.8^{0}\textrm{C}

If molar mass of unknown solute is M g/mol then-

                 m=\frac{\frac{2.2}{M}}{0.0167}mol/kg

So, 5.8^{0}\textrm{C}=29.9^{0}\textrm{C}/(mol/kg)\times \frac{\frac{2.2g}{M}}{0.0167}mol/kg

so, M = 679 g/mol
