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.

What is the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Strong Acid has a lower pH level than a weak acid, weak acid pH level will be closer to 7 than the strong acid. Weak acid does not dissociate completely, therefore a weaker proton donor, thus higher pKa. Strong acids dissociates completely and release all of their hydrogen atom when dissolve in water.

A nuclear reactor core must stay at or below 95 °C to remain in good working condition. Cool water at a temperature of 10 °C is

aliina [53]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{67 000 g}}$

Explanation:

This is a problem in calorimetry — the measurement of the quantities of heat that flow from one object to another.

It is based on the Law of Conservation of Energy — Energy can be transformed from one type to another, but it cannot be destroyed or created.

If heat flows out of the reactor (negative), the same amount of heat must flow into the water (positive).

Since there is no change in total energy,

heat₁ + heat₂ = 0

The symbol for the quantity of heat transferred is q, so we can rewrite the word equation as

q₁ + q₂ = 0

The formula for the heat absorbed or released by an object is

q = mCΔT, where

m = the mass of the sample

C = the specific heat capacity of the sample, and

ΔT = T_f - T_i = the change in temperature

1. Equation

There are two heat flows in this problem,

heat released by reactor + heat absorbed by water = 0

q₁ + q₂ = 0

q₁ + m₂C₂ΔT₂ = 0

2. Data:

q₁ = -23 746 kJ

m₂ = ?; C₂ = 4.184 J°C⁻¹g⁻¹; T_f = 95 °C; T_i = 10 °C

3. Calculations

(a) Convert kilojoules to joules

$q_{1} = -\text{23 746 kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{1000 J}}{\text{1 kJ}} = -\text{23 746 000 J}$

(b) ΔT

ΔT₂ = T_f - T_i = 95 °C - 10 °C = 85 °C

(c) m₂

$\begin{array}{rcl}q_{1} + q_{2} & = & 0\\\text{-23 746 000 J} + m_{2} \times 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times 85 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & 0\\\text{-23 746 000 J} + 356m_{2} \text{J$\cdot$g}^{-1} & = & 0\\356m_{2} \text{g}^{-1} & = & 23746000\\m_2&=& \dfrac{23746000}{\text{356 g}^{-1}}\\\\ & = & \textbf{67000 g}\\\end{array}\\$

$\text{You must circulate $\large \boxed{\textbf{67 000 g}}$ of water each hour.}$

Answer:

5 moles S x (36.02 g S/mole S) = 180.1 grams of S

Explanation:

The periodic table has mass units for every element that can be correlated with the number of atoms of that element. The relationship is known as Avogadro's Number. This number, 6.02x $10^{23}$ , is nicknamed the mole, which scientists found to be a lot more catchy, and easier to write than 6.02x $10^{23}$ . The mole is correlated to the atomic mass of that element. The atomic mass of sulfur, S, is 36.02 AMU, atomic mass units. But it can also be read as 36.02 grams/mole.

This means that 36.02 grams of S contains 1 mole (6.02x $10^{23}$ ) of S atoms.

This relationship holds for all the elements. Zinc, Zn, has an atomic mass of 65.38 AMU, so it has a "molar mass" of 65.38 grams/mole. ^5.38 grams of Zn contains 1 mole of Zn atoms.

And so on.

5.0 moles of Sulfur would therefore contain:

(5.0 moles S)*(36.02 grams/mole S) = 180.1 grams of S

Note how the units cancel to leaves just grams. The units are extremely helpful in mole calculations to insure the correct mathematical operation is done. To find the number of moles in 70 g of S, for example, we would write:

(70g S)/(36.02 grams S/mole S) = 1.94 moles of S. [Note how the units cancel to leave just moles]

C5H8+ _02 = 8h2o+5co2

Dimas [21]

To balance this equation you would do whatever you did I TO one side to the other... so if there is 18 oxygen on the right side then there must be 18 on the left. So 18/2 equals 9... the. You equation will be balanced
