Why is an alkaline substance dropped into lakes in some countries

Chemistry
1 answer:
Levart [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Lake Treatment

Explanation:

Sulphuric dioxide produced by industries and released into the atmosphere returns as acid rain or sulphuric acid. In lakes impacted by acid rain, such as in Ontario, Canada, the application of alkalis dropped by airplanes can control and neutralize the water's pH level.

A 19.0 g piece of metal is heated to 99.0 °C and then placed in 150 mL of water at 21°C. The temperature of the water rose to 23
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

0.8696\ \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}

Explanation:

m_m = Mass of metal = 19 g

c_m = Specific heat of the metal

\Delta T_m = Temperature difference of the metal = 99-23=76^{\circ}\text{C}

V = Volume of water = 150 mL = 150\ \text{cm}^3

\rho = Density of water = 1\ \text{g/cm}^3

c_w = Specific heat of the water = 4.186 J/g°C

\Delta T_w = Temperature difference of the water = 23-21=2^{\circ}\text{C}

Mass of water

m_w= \rho V\\\Rightarrow m_w=1\times 150\\\Rightarrow m_w=150\ \text{g}

Heat lost will be equal to the heat gained so we get

m_mc_m\Delta T_m=m_wc_w\Delta T_w\\\Rightarrow c_m=\dfrac{m_wc_w\Delta T_w}{m_m\Delta T_m}\\\Rightarrow c_m=\dfrac{150\times 4.186\times 2}{19\times 76}\\\Rightarrow c_m=0.8696\ \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}

The specific heat of the metal is 0.8696\ \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}.

Which best describes the difference between radiation and conduction? (1 point)
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

B) Conduction requires two objects to be in physical contact.

Explanation:

Conduction is when two objects are directly touching each other. So, the objects must come in physical contact with each other.

Rank these acids according to their expected pKa values.ClCH2COOHClCH2CH2COOHCH3CH2COOHCl2CHCOOHIn order of highest pka to lowes
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH > CH₃CH₂COOH > ClCH₂CH₂COOH  > ClCH₂COOH

Explanation:

Electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) increase acidity by inductive removal of electrons from the carboxyl group.

Electron-donating groups (EDGs) decrease acidity by inductive donation of electrons to the carboxyl group.

  • The closer the substituent is to the carboxyl group, the greater is its effect.
  • The more substituents, the greater the effect.  
  • The effect tails off rapidly and is almost zero after about three C-C bonds.

CH₃CH₂-CH₂COOH —  EDG —                         weakest —  pKₐ = 4.82

      CH₃-CH₂COOH — reference —                                     pKₐ = 4.75

  ClCH₂-CH₂COOH — EWG on β-carbon— stronger —     pKₐ = 4.00

           ClCH₂COOH — EWG on α-carbon — strongest —  pKₐ = 2.87
