Water quality tests show the presence of a single heavy metal in the drinking water pulled from a local river. Residents are suf

fering from numerous stomach ailments and are showing signs of long-term kidney damage. The residents of the next town, down river from the first town, seem to be unaffected. Water quality tests in the river by the second town show two types of heavy metals at acceptable legal limits in the water. One of the metals is the same as the one in the first town. What can scientists infer about the possible reason for the illnesses appearing in the first town but not the second?
One metal causes an acute effect, compared to the other.
One metal causes a chronic effect, compared to the other.
The heavy metals have a synergistic relationship when combined.
The heavy metals have an antagonistic relationship when combined.

Answer:

One metal causes a chronic effect, compared to the other

Explanation:

because the question only said ONE is the same, didn't they? so that would mean that not all the metals are the same for both towns

Is the reaction mg²⁺(aq) + h₂o(l) → mgo(s) + 2h⁺(aq) endothermic or exothermic?

<span>If energy is released, the reaction is exothermic. If energy is absorbed, the reaction is endothermic. Since heat is being absorbed in this reaction (to break down H2O into H2 and O), the reaction is endothermic.</span>

Lana balanced an equation so that the result was 2C2H3Br + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O + 2HBr. Which most likely represents the starting e
seropon [69]

Answer:

C2H3Br + O2 → CO2 + H2O + HBr

Explanation:

The term balancing of chemical reaction equation has a unique meaning in chemistry. What it actually means is to ensure that the number of atoms of each element on the left hand side of reaction equation becomes equal to the number of atoms of the same element on the right hand side of the reaction equation.

When we look at the equation; C2H3Br + O2 → CO2 + H2O + HBr, the number of atoms of each element on the left and right hand sides of the given equation are not the same hence the equation is unbalanced.

If we look at the equation; 2C2H3Br + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O + 2HBr, the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction equation are now equal, thus the later equation is the balanced version of the former.

Assuming that an acetic acid solution is 12% by mass and that the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL, what volume of 1 M NaOH
Doss [256]

Explanation:

Let us assume that total mass of the solution is 100 g. And, as it is given that acetic acid solution is 12% by mass which means that mass of acetic acid is 12 g and 88 g is the water.

Now, calculate the number of moles of acetic acid as its molar mass is 60 g/mol.

    No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                           = \frac{12 g}{60 g/mol}

                           = 0.2 mol

Molarity of acetic acid is calculated as follows.

              Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

                 1 g/ml = \frac{100 g}{volume}

                    volume = 100 ml

Hence, molarity = \frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}

                           = \frac{0.2 mol}{0.1 L}

                           = 2 mol/l

As reaction equation for the given reaction is as follows.

     NaOH + CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COONa + H_{2}O

So,          moles of NaOH = moles of acetic acid

Let us suppose that moles of NaOH are "x".

          x \times 1 M = 10 mL \times 2 M     (as 1 L = 1000 ml)

                        x = 20 L

Thus, we can conclude that volume of NaOH required is 20 ml.

A sample of PCl5(g) was placed in an otherwise empty flask at an initial pressure of 0.500 atm and a temperature above 500 K. Ov
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Kp = 0.81666

Explanation:

Pressure of PCl₅ = 0.500 atm

Considering the ICE table for the equilibrium as:

                     PCl₅ (g)      ⇔          PCl₃ (g) +       Cl₂ (g)

t = o               0.500

t = eq                -x                             x                      x

--------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Moles at eq: 0.500-x                       x                      x

       

Given the pressure of PCl₅ at equilibrium = 0.150 atm

Thus, 0.500 - x = 0.150

x = 0.350 atm

The expression for the equilibrium constant is:

K_p=\frac {P_{PCl_3}P_{[Cl_2}}{P_{PCl_5}}  

So,

K_p=\frac{x^2}{0.500-x}  

x = 0.350 atm

Thus,

K_p=\frac{{0.350}^2}{0.500-0.350}  

<u>Thus, Kp = 0.81666</u>
