Answer:

1) Oil is less dense than water so when oil spills, it spreads across the entire water surface.

2) The oil spreads very quickly with lighter oils such as gasoline.

3) Wind, Currents, and Warm Temperatures will cause Oil to spread quicker.

Suppose a 0.025M aqueous solution of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is prepared. Calculate the equilibrium molarity of SO4−2. You'll find

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: The concentration of $SO_4^{2-}$ at equilibrium is 0.00608 M

Explanation:

As, sulfuric acid is a strong acid. So, its first dissociation will easily be done as the first dissociation constant is higher than the second dissociation constant.

In the second dissociation, the ions will remain in equilibrium.

We are given:

Concentration of sulfuric acid = 0.025 M

Equation for the first dissociation of sulfuric acid:

$H_2SO_4(aq.)\rightarrow H^+(aq.)+HSO_4^-(aq.)$

0.025 0.025 0.025

Equation for the second dissociation of sulfuric acid:

$HSO_4^-(aq.)\rightarrow H^+(aq.)+SO_4^{2-}(aq.)$

Initial: 0.025 0.025

At eqllm: 0.025-x 0.025+x x

The expression of second equilibrium constant equation follows:

$Ka_2=\frac{[H^+][SO_4^{2-}]}{[HSO_4^-]}$

We know that:

$Ka_2\text{ for }H_2SO_4=0.01$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.01=\frac{(0.025+x)\times x}{(0.025-x)}\\\\x=-0.0411,0.00608$

Neglecting the negative value of 'x', because concentration cannot be negative.

So, equilibrium concentration of sulfate ion = x = 0.00608 M

Hence, the concentration of $SO_4^{2-}$ at equilibrium is 0.00608 M

How does removing thermal energy from liquid water affect the molecules in the water?

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

For deposition to happen, thermal energy must be removed from the gas. ... As water vapor loses thermal energy, it changes into solid frost. States of Water. Water is the only substance that exists naturally as a solid, a liquid, and a gas within Earth's temperature range.

A blacksmith melts and shapes a block of iron into a blade. She then sets the blade, whose edges are molten, outside, where it i

Margaret [11]

The answer is C due to the rain making contact with the iron it creates moisture which cause the iron to begin oxidizing which causes the iron to rust which is a chemical reaction then the blade which was once malleable because it was heat becomes harden and rust is created as I said before the physical aspect of the iron chances due to rust developing on it it's no longer has the luster it once had
