Answer: Eutrophication is the enhancement of the growth of algae in the water body.

Explanation:

The scientists are worried for the climate change as if the climate changed to prolonged rainy then the frequent raining can remove toxic chemicals from the agricultural sites, landfills, industries, and from other locations and deposit them to the water body (river, lakes, ponds, and others). The deposition of the salts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur promotes the growth of algae in the water body. This leads to reduction in the concentration of oxygen in the water body. This is called eutrophication. The lack of oxygen can lead to mortality of aquatic animals.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

2 Fe³⁺(aq) + Sn²⁺(aq) ⇒ 2Fe²⁺(aq) + Sn⁴⁺(aq)

First, we have to calculate the moles of Sn²⁺ that react.

$\frac{0.1015molSn^{2+} }{1L} .13.28 \times 10^{-3} L=1.348\times 10^{-3}molSn^{2+}$

We also know the following relations:

According to the balanced equation, 1 mole of Sn²⁺ reacts with 2 moles of Fe³⁺.
1 mole of Fe³⁺ is oxidized from 1 mole of Fe.
The molar mass of Fe is 55.84 g/mol.

Then, for 1.348 × 10⁻3 moles of Sn²⁺:

$1.348\times 10^{-3}molSn^{2+}.\frac{2molFe^{3+} }{1molSn^{2+} } .\frac{1molFe}{1molFe^{3+} } .\frac{55.84gFe}{1molFe} =0.1505gFe$

If there are 0.1505 g of Fe in a 0.1875 g sample, the mass percentage of Fe is:

$\frac{0.1505g}{0.1875g} \times 100 \% = 80.27\%$

What type of solution has the capacity to dissolve more solute?

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The answer to this is

Unsaturated solution

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution has the property of having a solute concentration lower than the the solubility at equilibrium at a given temperature hence it has the capacity to dissolve more solutes. Is is a solution containing a lower amount of solute than a saturated solution

The two processes that occur on dissolving a solute in a solvent are dissolution and crystallization and in an unsaturated solution the rate of dissolution is greater than the rate of crystallization

A buffer solution contains 0.120M acetic acid and 0.150M sodium acetate.

A. M x L = moles.
b. CH3COOH + NaOH ==> CH3COONa + H2O 
I...6 mmols....0.......7.5 mmoles 
C... 0........0.51 mmols..0 
E...6-0.511 ....0.......7.5+0.511 

I stands for initial 
C stands for change. 
E stands for equilibrium. 
Just divide mmoles by 1000 to convert to moles. I work in mmoles because I get tired of writing those zeros. 

c. done as in b.
