Answer:

Since the alligator population decreased, this means there are less predators for the gar. Less predators for the gar mean the gar population will increase. More gar also means more competition for the diving duck in terms of animals that eat crabs, and thus the diving duck population will also decrease.

Can the pH scale be utilized for all acids (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis)? Give examples of substances from each definit

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The pH scale is a scale graduated from 0-14 which shows the degree of acidity of alkalinity of a substance. The pH scale is graduated in such a way that 0-6.9 indicates acidity, 7.0 indicate a neutral substance, while a pH of 8-14 indicates alkalinity respectively.

There are three main definitions of acids/bases

- Arrhenius definition

-Brownstead-Lowry definition

-Lewis definition

Arrhenius explains acids as any substance that produces hydrogen ions as its only positive ion in solution while a base produces hydroxide ions as its only negative ion in solution. The pH scale is based on corresponding values of pH derived from aqueous solutions of these substances.

However, not all acids/bases produces hydrogen or hydroxide ions in solution. Brownstead-Lowry definition of acids and Lewis definition of acids could be extended to nonaqueous media where the pH can not be measured as there are no hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.

This implies that pH measurement may not apply to acids/bases in the all the categories of acids/bases hence it can not be utilized for all acids and bases.

Arrhenius - sodium carbonate

Brownstead-Lowry - concentrated HF

Lewis acid - AlCl3

A tank of 0.1m3 volume contains air at 25∘C and 101.33 kPa. The tank is connected to a compressed-air line which supplies air at

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Amount of Energy = 23,467.9278J

Explanation:

Given

Cv = 5/2R

Cp = 7/2R wjere R = Boltzmann constant = 8.314

The energy balance in the tank is given as

∆U = Q + W

According to the first law of thermodynamics

In the question, it can be observed that the volume of the reactor is unaltered

So, dV = W = 0.

The Internal energy to keep the tank's constant temperature is given as

∆U = Cv((45°C) - (25°C))

∆U = Cv((45 + 273) - (25 + 273))

∆U = Cv(20)

∆U = 5/2 * 8.314 * 20

∆U = 415.7 J/mol

Before calculating the heat loss of the tank, we must first calculate the amount of moles of gas that entered the tank where P1 = 101.33 kPa

The Initial mole is calculated as

(P * V)/(R * T)

Where P = P1 = 101.33kPa = 101330Pa

V = Volume of Tank = 0.1m³

R = 8.314J/molK

T = Initial Temperature = 25 + 273 = 298K

So, n = (101330 * 0.1)/(8.314*298)

n = 4.089891232222

n = 4.089

Then we Calculate the final moles at P2 = 1500kPa = 1500000Pa

V = Volume of Tank = 0.1m³

R = 8.314J/molK

T = Initial Temperature = 25 + 273 = 298K

n = (1500000 * 0.1)/(8.314*298)

n = 60.54314465936812

n = 60.543

So, tue moles that entered the tank is ∆n

∆n = 60.543 - 4.089

∆n = 56.454

Amount of Energy is then calculated as:(∆n)(U)

Q = 415.7 * 56.454

Q = 23,467.9278J

Need help, please. :)

wolverine [178]

A change of one unit on the pH scale represents a change in the concentration of hydrogen ions by a factor of 10, a change in two units represents a change in the concentration of hydrogen ions by a factor of 100. Thus, small changes in pH represent large changes in the concentrations of hydrogen ions.

How many milliliters of 0.200 m fecl3 are needed to react with an excess of na2s to produce 1.38 g of fe2s3 if the percent yield

ahrayia [7]

Answer: 100 ml


Explanation:

1) Convert 1.38 g of Fe₂S₃ into number of moles, n

i) Formula: n = mass in grass / molar mass

ii) molar mass of Fe₂S₃ =2 x 55.8 g/mol + 3 x 32.1 g/mol = 207.9 g/mol


iii) n = 1.38 g / 207.9 g/mol = 0.00664 moles of Fe₂S₃


2) Use the percent yield to calculate the theoretical amount:


65% = 0.65 = actual yield/ theoretical yield =>

theoretical yield = actual yield / 0.65 = 0.00664 moles / 0.65 = 0.010 mol Fe₂S₃

3) Chemical equation:


 3 Na₂S(aq) + 2 FeCl₃(aq) → Fe₂S₃(s) + 6 NaCl(aq)

4) Stoichiometrical mole ratios:


3 mol Na₂S : 2 mol FeCl₃ : 1 mol Fe₂S₃ : 6 mol NaCl

5) Proportionality:

2moles FeCl₃ / 1 mol Fe₂S₃ = x / 0.010 mol Fe₂S₃

=> x = 0.020 mol FeCl₃

6) convert 0.020 mol to volume


i) Molarity formula: M = n / V


ii) V = n / M = 0.020 mol / 0.2 M = 0.1 liter = 100 ml
