Chemistry

Answer:

Good answer below, just adding on

Explanation:

Runoff of chemical products, animal waste, and especially human waste products such as different types of trash like scrap metals and plastic greatly increase water pollution. Additionally, oil leaks and spills can also lead to severe water pollution. As a general statement I'd say that human activities that are not monitored and are either directly dumped into water ways or are caught in run off cause water pollution.

How many grams of Fe3O4 are required to react completely with 300 grams of H2?
vekshin1

Answer:

2023.04 g

Explanation:

Magnetite reacts with hydrogen to produce Iron metal and steam. Steam instead of water is produced as the reaction occurs at temperatures above the boiling point of water.

Fe₃O₄ + 4 H₂ → 3 Fe +4 H₂O

From the equation, 1 mole of Fe₃O₄ reacts with 4 moles of H₂.

69.76 grams of H₂ has the following number of moles.

Number of moles= mass/RAM

=69.76/2

=34.88 moles.

The reaction ratio of Fe₃O₄ to H₂ is 1:4

Thus number of moles of magnetite= (1×34.88)/4

=8.72 moles.

Mass= moles × molecular weight

=8.72 moles × (56×3+16×4)

=2023.04 grams

Potassium cyanide is a toxic substance, and the median lethal dose depends on the mass of the person or animal that ingests it.
Artemon [7]

Answer:

88,7 mL of solution

Explanation:

Molarity (Represented as M) is an unit of chemical concentration that is defined as the ratio between moles of solute per liters of solution, that is:

Molarity = moles of solute / Liters of solution

If molarity of KCN solution is 0,0820M and moles of KCN are 7,27x10⁻³ moles:

0,0820M = 7,27x10⁻³ moles / Liters of solution

Liters of solution = 0,0887L = <em>88,7 mL of solution</em>

I hope it helps!
