Ostrovityanka [42]3 years ago
5 0

The reasons why DDT is classified as a persistent organic pollutant are;

  • DDT can be used to control diseases, such as malaria and typhus, that are spread by insects.
  • DDT is detected in food worldwide and the general human population is most commonly exposed to the toxin through food.

Persistent Organic Pollutants  can be regarded as toxic substances which are made up of organic chemical compounds.

These are industrial chemicals such as;

  • PCBs
  • pesticides like DDT.

DDT is classified as a persistent organic pollutant because of it's usefulness in control diseases and it is been found in food stuff across the globe.

A 20.0-ml sample of a 0.200 mhbr solution is titrated with a 0.200 mnaoh solution. calculate the ph of the solution after the fo
kumpel [21]

The calculated pH of the solutions are given below:

  • The pH of the solution after 14.0 ml of base is added to it is calculated as 1.45.
  • The pH of the solution after 19.8 ml of base is added to it is calculated as 3.0
  • The pH of the solution after 20.0 ml of base is added to it is calculated as 7.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

This is the level of acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution. The pH of a substances tells if its an acid, base or neutral.

HBr and NaOH while in water would dissociate and they would become H+ and OH- respectively.

Mol of HBr = Mol * Vol

= 0.200 * 20mL

= 4 mmol

A. Moles of NaOH added

= 0.2 X 14

= 2.8 mmol

Moles of H+ that did not react

= 4 - 2.8

= 1.2 mmol

1.2/1000 = 0.0012 moles

Total volume = 20 + 14

= 34 mL to litres

= 0.034 L

Molarity of H+ = 0.0012 / 0.034L

= 0.035 M

-log[0.035] = 1.45

The pH of the solution is  1.45

B. NaOH added = 19.8 * 0.2 =

3.96 mmoles

The unreacted solution

= 4.0 - 3.96

= 0.04 mmol

0.04/1000 = 0.00004 moles

Total volume = 20 + 19.8

= 39.8mL

Converted to litres = 0.0398L

Molarity  = 0.00004 / 0.0398L

= 0.001

-log(0.001) = 3.0

The ph Is therefore 3.0

C. Moles of NaOH added = 0.2*20mL = 4mmol

All the H+ are going to be consumed here. This would result into a neutral solution pH = 7

<u>Complete question:</u>

20.0 mL sample of 0.200 M HBr solution is titrated with 0.200 M NaOH solution. Calculate the PH of the solution after the following volumes of base have been added.

A. 14.0 mL

B. 19.8 mL

C. 20.0 mL

If a person takes 30 ml of vinegar a day and the molarity of the vinegar is 0. 84 m then how many grams of acetic acid (hc2h3o2
babunello [35]

The mass of the acetic acid is 1.512 g.

<h3 /><h3>What is Molarity?</h3>

molarity is the concentration of a substance in mol per dm³

From the question,

The number of moles contained in the 30 mL vinegar is

  • n = (0.84×30)/1000
  • n = 0.0252 mol.

the molar mass of vinegar is calculated below.

  • m.m of (HC₂H₃O₂) = [1+(12×2)+(1×3)+(16×2)]
  • m.m = (1+24+3+32]
  • m.m = 60 g/mol.

To calculate the mass of acetic acid, we use the formula below.

  • R.m = n×m.m............. Equation 1

Where

  • R.m = mass of acetic acid.

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • R.m = (0.0252×60)
  • R.m = 1.512 g.

Hence, The mass of the acetic acid is 1.512 g.
