What happens when chlorine from CFCs mixes with ozone?

Chemistry

1 answer:

Svetach [21]3 years ago

Answer:

Because they are extremely stable molecules, CFCs do not react easily with other chemicals in the lower atmosphere. ... Free chlorine atoms then react with ozone molecules, taking one oxygen atom to form chlorine monoxide and leaving an ordinary oxygen molecule.

How much power is used if a force of 54 newtons is used to pull a wagon a distance of 10 meters in 6 seconds? 3,240 W 90 W 32.4

timama [110]

Power is defined in a mathematical expression as P = F x v where F is in N and v is in m/s. From the given equation, the v = d/t which is v = 10/ 6, then substituting the answer to the power formula W = 54 N (10/6 m/s) = 90 Watts.

Predict, using Boyle’s Law, what will happen to a balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 kPa (normal atmospheric

kaheart [24]

Explanation:

Balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 k Pa will get reduced in size that is the volume of the balloon will get reduced. This is because pressure and volume of the gas are inversely related to each other.

According to Boyle's law: The pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature(in Kelvins).

$pressure\propto \frac{1}{volume}$ (At constant temperature)

The pressure beneath the sea is 202 kPa and the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa . This increase in pressure will result in decrease in volume occupied by the gas inside the balloon with decrease in size of a balloon. Hence, the size of the balloon will get reduced at 202 kPa (under sea).

A chemist fills a reaction vessel with 0.750 M lead (II) (Pb2+) aqueous solution, 0.232 M bromide (Br) aqueous solution, and 0.9

Ronch [10]

Answer:

The free energy = -20.46 KJ

Explanation:

given Data:

Pb²⁺ = 0.750 M

Br⁻ = 0.232 M

R = 8.314 Jk⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 298K

The Gibb's free energy is calculated using the formula;

ΔG = ΔG° + RTlnQ -------------------------1

Where;

ΔG° = standard Gibb's freeenergy

R = Gas constant

Q = reaction quotient

T = temperature

The chemical reaction is given as;

Pb²⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq) ⇄PbBr₂(s)

The ΔG°f are given as:

ΔG°f (PbBr₂) = -260.75 kj.mol⁻¹

ΔG°f (Pb²⁺) = -24.4 kj.mol⁻¹

ΔG°f (2Br⁻) = -103.97 kj.mol⁻¹

Calculating the standard gibb's free energy using the formula;

ΔG° = ξnpΔG°(product) - ξnrΔG°(reactant)

Substituting, we have;

ΔG° =[1mol*ΔG°f (PbBr₂)] - [1 mol *ΔG°f (Pb²⁺) +2mol *ΔG°f (2Br⁻)]

ΔG° =(1 *-260.75 kj.mol⁻¹) - (1* -24.4 kj.mol⁻¹) +(2*-103.97 kj.mol⁻¹)

= -260.75 + 232.34

= -28.41 kj

Calculating the reaction quotient Q using the formula;

Q = 1/[Pb²⁺ *(Br⁻)²]

= 1/(0.750 * 0.232²)

= 24.77

Substituting all the calculated values into equation 1, we have

ΔG = ΔG° + RTlnQ

ΔG = -28.41 + (8.414*10⁻³ * 298 * In 24.77)

= -28.41 +7.95

= -20. 46 kJ

Therefore, the free energy of reaction = -20.46 kJ
