Why Are aquifers important to our freshwater supply? 5TH GRADE ANSWER c:

Chemistry

1 answer:

ANEK [815]2 years ago

4 0

Explanation:

Aquifers are porous and permeable formations that stores ground water. The ground water system is made up of mostly fresh water.

An aquifer acts as a reserve for ground water in the environment.
By passing through different formations, water that recharges them are purified.
This makes them fresh and mostly free from salt intrusion

An aquifer is able to store this fresh water and it is is good prospect for sourcing ground water.

How does gravity depend on the mass of two objects

AleksAgata [21]

Gravity increases as the mass of either object increases.

<h3>What is gravity?</h3>

Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its centre. The force of gravity keeps all of the planets in orbit around the sun.

Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.

A 3.4 g sample of an unknown monoprotic organic acid composed of C,H, and O is burned in air to produce 8.58 grams of carbon dio

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

$C_7H_6O_2$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, we can divide the problem in three stages: (1) determine the empirical formula with the combustion analysis, (2) compute the molar mass of acid via the moles of the acid in the neutralization and (3) determine the molecular formula.

(1) In this case, since 8.58 g of carbon dioxide are released, we can first compute the moles of carbon in the compound:

$n_C=8.58gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44.01gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}=0.195molC$

And the moles of hydrogen due to the produced 1.50 grams of water:

$n_H=1.50gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18.02gH_2O}*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O} =0.166molH$

Next, to compute the mass and moles of oxygen, we need to use the initial 3.4 g of the acid:

$m_O=3.4g-0.195molC*\frac{12.01gC}{1molC}-0.166molH*\frac{1.01gH}{1molH} =0.89gO\\\\n_O=0.89gO*\frac{1molO}{16.0gO}=0.0556molO$

Thus, the subscripts in the empirical formula are:

$C=\frac{0.195}{0.0556}=3.5 \\\\H=\frac{0.166}{0.0556}=3\\\\O=\frac{0.0556}{0.0556}=1\\\\C_7H_6O_2$

As they cannot be fractions.

(2) In this case, since the acid is monoprotic, we can compute the moles by multiplying the concentration and volume of KOH:

$n_{KOH}=0.279L*0.1mol/L\\\\n_{KOH}=0.0279mol$

Which are equal to the moles of the acid:

$n_{acid}=0.0279mol$

And the molar mass:

$MM_{acid}=\frac{3.4g}{0.0279mol} =121.86g/mol$

(3) Finally, since the molar mass of the empirical formula is:

7*12.01 + 6*1.01 + 2*16.00 = 122.13 g/mol

Thus, since the ratio of molar masses is 122.86/122.13 = 1, we infer that the empirical formula equals the molecular one:

$C_7H_6O_2$

Best regards!

Calculate the density from the following information: A red block had a mass of 15.7 g. It was placed into a graduated cylinder

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Density should be 8.5

Explanation:

When you subtract 17.2-10.0 for water displacement you get 7.2 which is the volume and you divide it by 15.7 so your equation will be 15.7/7.2 = 8.5

Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is primarily dissolved CO2. Dissolved CO2 satisfies the equilibri

Dvinal [7]

C = pK
C = 4.4E-4*0.032 = about 1.41E-5 

H2CO3 ==> H^+ + HCO3^- 

k1 = (H^+)(HCO3^-)/(H2CO3) 
(H^+)= (HCO3^-) = x 
(H2CO3) = 1.41E-5 
Solve for x = (H^+) and convert to pH.

Salts usually have a low melting point true or false

antoniya [11.8K]

Hello!

This is false!! It is the other way around. They usually have a very high melting point. For example table salt is around 800deg C which is approx just under 1500deg F.

Hope this helps. Thank you
