Answer:

A. Whenever the population has increased, steel consumption has increased as well.

Explanation:

Based on the graph of US population and steel consumption, what could have led to the increase in steel consumption seen on the graph is that whenever the population has increased, steel consumption has increased as well.

A critical look at the graph, you will discover that the population and the steel consumption are moving upwards (i.e they are increasing). It's seen that as the population increases, steel consumption increases. This is true because as the population increases, people are building houses, more transportation systems that require steel are being manufactured, more household utensils that are steel products are being fabricated etc; therefore the consumption of steel increases.

Answer:

1. 2Ca + N $_{2}$ → 2CaN

2. 4Li + O $_{2}$ → 2Li $_{2}$ O

3. 2KCl + BaF $_2$ → 2KF + BaCl $_2$

4. CH $_4$ + 2O $_2$ → CO $_2$ + 2H $_2$ O

Be sure to balance the number of atoms on both sides of each equation only by adding coefficients to the compounds!!!! Those without a coefficient are meant to have a coefficient of 1.

Calculate the pH of: (a) 0.1M HCl; (b) 0.1M NaOH; (c) 3 X 10% M HNO3; (d) 5 X 10-10 M HCIO.; and (e) 2 x 10-8 M KOH.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

(a) $pH = -Log (0.1M) = 1$

(b) $pH = -Log (10^{-13}M) = 13$

(d) $pH = -Log (4.93x10^{-10}M) = 9.3$

(e) $pH = -Log (5^{-7}M) = 6.3$

Explanation:

To calculate de pH of an acid solution the formula is:

$pH = -Log ([H^{+}]) = 1$

were [H^{+}] is the concentration of protons of the solution. Therefore it is necessary to know the concentration of the protons for every solution in order to solve the problem.

(a) and (c) are strong acids so they dissociate completely in aqueous solution. Thus, the concentration of the acid is the same as the protons.

(b) and (e) are strong bases so they dissociate completely in aqueous solution too. Thus, the concentration of the base is the same as the oxydriles. But in this case it is necessary to consider the water autoionization to calculate the protons concentration:

$K_{w} =[H^{+} ][OH^{-}]=10^{-14}$
