It doesn’t on in a pool because of the background of the pool and in the ocean it like that I guess because to the sun hitting it….for that to be honest I don’t know

Answer:

Explanation:

Water is blue because water absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum. Like a filter, this leaves behind colors in the blue part of the light spectrum for us to see.

The dissociation of sulfurous acid (H2SO3) in aqueous solution occurs as follows:
aksik [14]

Answer:

The [SO₃²⁻]

Explanation:

From the first dissociation of sulfurous acid we have:

                         H₂SO₃(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + HSO₃⁻(aq)

At equilibrium:  0.50M - x          x            x

The equilibrium constant (Ka₁) is:

K_{a1} = \frac{[H^{+}] [HSO_{3}^{-}]}{[H_{2}SO_{3}]} = \frac{x\cdot x}{0.5 - x} = \frac {x^{2}}{0.5 -x}

With Ka₁= 1.5x10⁻² and solving the quadratic equation, we get the following HSO₃⁻ and H⁺ concentrations:

[HSO_{3}^{-}] = [H^{+}] = 7.94 \cdot 10^{-2}M

Similarly, from the second dissociation of sulfurous acid we have:

                              HSO₃⁻(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq)

At equilibrium:  7.94x10⁻²M - x          x            x

The equilibrium constant (Ka₂) is:  

K_{a2} = \frac{[H^{+}] [SO_{3}^{2-}]}{[HSO_{3}^{-}]} = \frac{x^{2}}{7.94 \cdot 10^{-2} - x}  

Using Ka₂= 6.3x10⁻⁸ and solving the quadratic equation, we get the following SO₃⁻ and H⁺ concentrations:

[SO_{3}^{2-}] = [H^{+}] = 7.07 \cdot 10^{-5}M

Therefore, the final concentrations are:

[H₂SO₃] = 0.5M - 7.94x10⁻²M = 0.42M

[HSO₃⁻] = 7.94x10⁻²M - 7.07x10⁻⁵M = 7.93x10⁻²M

[SO₃²⁻] = 7.07x10⁻⁵M

[H⁺] = 7.94x10⁻²M + 7.07x10⁻⁵M = 7.95x10⁻²M

So, the lowest concentration at equilibrium is [SO₃²⁻] = 7.07x10⁻⁵M.

I hope it helps you!
