How much food is wasted in the United States

Chemistry
1 answer:
mylen [45]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The United States is the global leader in food waste, with Americans discarding nearly 40 million tons of food every year. That's 80 billion pounds of food and equates to more than $161 billion², approximately 219 pounds³ of waste per person and 30-40 percent4 of the US food supply.

Use your understanding of the ideal gas law to
PolarNik [594]

Answer:The ideal gas law is represented mathematically as: PV=nRT. P- pressure, V- volume, n-number of moles of gas, R- ideal gas constant, T- temperature.

Explanation:The ideal gas law is used as a prediction of the behavior of many gases, when subjected to different conditions.

he ideal gas law has so many limitations.

An increase in the pressure or volume, decreases the number of moles and temperature of the gas.

Empirical laws that led to generation of the ideal gas laws, considered two variables and keeping the others constant. This empirical laws include, Boyle's law, Charles's law, Gay Lusaac's law and Avogadro's law.

A 50.00-mL solution of 0.0350 M aniline ( Kb = 3.8 × 10–10) is titrated with a 0.0113 M solution of hydrochloric acid as the tit
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

pH = 3.70

Explanation:

Moles of aniline in solution are:

0.0500L × (0.0350mol / 1L) = <em>1.750x10⁻³ mol aniline</em>

Aniline is in equilibrium with water, thus:

C₆H₅NH₂ + H₂O ⇄ C₆H₅NH₃⁺ + OH⁻ Kb = 3.8x10⁻¹⁰

HCl reacts with aniline thus:

HCl + C₆H₅NH₂ → C₆H₅NH₃⁺ + Cl⁻

At equivalence point, all aniline reacts producing  C₆H₅NH₃⁺.  C₆H₅NH₃⁺ has its own equilibrium with water thus:

C₆H₅NH₃⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₅NH₂(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

Where Ka is defined as:

Ka = [C₆H₅NH₂] [H₃O⁺] / [C₆H₅NH₃⁺] = Kw / Kb = 1.0x10⁻¹⁴ / 3.8x10⁻¹⁰ = <em>2.63x10⁻⁵ </em><em>(1)</em>

<em />

As all aniline reacts producing C₆H₅NH₃⁺, moles in equilibrium are:

[C₆H₅NH₃⁺] = 1.750x10⁻³ mol - X

[C₆H₅NH₂] = X

[H₃O⁺] = X

Replacing in (1):

2.63x10⁻⁵ =  [X] [X] / [1.750x10⁻³ mol - X]

4.6x10⁻⁸ - 2.63x10⁻⁵X = X²

0 = X² + 2.63x10⁻⁵X - 4.6x10⁻⁸

Solving for X:

X = -2.3x10⁻⁴ → False answer, there is no negative concentrations

X = 2.0x10⁻⁴ → Right answer

As [H₃O⁺] = X, [H₃O⁺] = 2.0x10⁻⁴.

Now, pH = -log[H₃O⁺]. Thus, pH at equivalence point is:

<em>pH = 3.70</em>
