One process used to obtain freshwater from salt water is

A solution contains 3.1 mM Zn(NO3)2 and 4.2 mM Ca(NO3)2. The p-function for Zn2+ is _____, and the p-function for NO3- is _____.

seropon [69]

Answer: The p-function of $Zn^{2+}$ and $NO_3^{-}$ ions are 2.51 and 2.14 respectively.

Explanation:

p-function is defined as the negative logarithm of any concentration.

We are given:

Millimolar concentration of zinc nitrate = 3.1 mM

Millimolar concentration of calcium nitrate = 4.2 mM

Converting this into molar concentration, we use the conversion factor:

1 M = 1000 mM

Concentration of zinc nitrate = 0.0031 M = 0.0031 mol/L

1 mole of zinc nitrate produces 1 mole of zinc ions and 2 moles of nitrate ions

Concentration of zinc ions = 0.0031 M

Concentration of nitrate ions in zinc nitrate, $M_1=(2\times 0.0031)=0.0062M$

Concentration of calcium nitrate = 0.0042 M = 0.0042 mol/L

1 mole of calcium nitrate produces 1 mole of calcium ions and 2 moles of nitrate ions

Concentration of calcium ions = 0.0042 M

Concentration of nitrate ions in calcium nitrate, $M_2=(2\times 0.0042)=0.0084M$

To calculate the concentration of nitrate ions in the solution, we use the equation:

$M=\frac{M_1V_1+M_2V_2}{V_1+V_2}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$M=\frac{(0.0062\times 1)+(0.0084\times 1)}{1+1}\\\\M=0.0073M$

Calculating the p-function of zinc ions and nitrate ions in the solution:

For zinc ions:

$\text{p-function of }Zn^{2+}\text{ ions}=-\log[Zn^{2+}]$

$\text{p-function of }Zn^{2+}\text{ ions}=-\log(0.0031)\\\\\text{p-function of }Zn^{2+}\text{ ions}=2.51$

For nitrate ions:

$\text{p-function of }NO_3^{-}\text{ ions}=-\log[NO_3^{-}]$

$\text{p-function of }NO_3^{-}\text{ ions}=-\log(0.0073)\\\\\text{p-function of }NO_3^{-}\text{ ions}=2.14$

Hence, the p-function of $Zn^{2+}$ and $NO_3^{-}$ ions are 2.51 and 2.14 respectively.

Why do airbags fill evenly with gases?

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The signal from the deceleration sensor ignites the gas-generator mixture by an electrical impulse, creating the high-temperature condition necessary for NaN3 to decompose. The nitrogen gas that is generated then fills the airbag.

basically, the nitrogen fills the bag

Draw the Lewis structure for BrCl3. What are the approximate bond angles about the central atom?

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

BrCl₃ is an interhalogen compound with a hybridization of sp³d. The approximate bond angles can be predicted from the structure (attached below). Although, the lewis structure might be predicted to be trigonal bipyramidal from the structure, it is however a T-shaped geometry because of it's two lone pairs.

Also, from the structure attached, it can be predicted that the approximate bond angles about the central atom is 120° (360 ÷ 3) since each of the three chlorine atoms is equally spaced about the central atom.
