A laboratory experiment was done to show the effects of organic waste on the dissolved oxygen (DO) content in water. Five tanks

were set up, each containing fresh water and a small amount of single-celled green algae. Specified amounts of organic waste were added to the tanks. The results below show the amount of DO in each tank after a period of one week.
Tank 1 Tank 2 Tank 3 Tank 4 Tank 5
Initial DO 10 ppm 10 ppm 10 ppm 10 ppm 10 ppm
Amount of organic waste added 0 g 10 g 20 g 30 g 40 g
DO after one week 10 ppm 10 ppm 8 ppm 5 ppm 0 ppm

Answer:

For better results = Validity= we should maintain other parameters constant, like<u> temperature, pH and sun light.</u>

Explanation:

When making an experiment like this, we must control other parameters that can change our results.

Temperature: Dissolved Oxygen can change due temperature, for example: colder water, more dissolved oxygen and viceversa.

pH: Algae can change its function when changing water´s pH , so, we must maintain this condition controled.

Sunlight: Algae is activated through sunlight, in this case, we must investigate which are the conditions required for the algae that we are using .

How many grams of KBr are required to make 550. mL of a 0.115 M KBr solution?
In-s [12.5K]

Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. For example, we are given a solution of 2M NaOH this describes a solution that has 2 moles of NaOH per 1 L volume of the solution. We calculate as follows:

0.115 M = n mol KBr / .55 L solution

n = 0.06325 mol KBr

mass = 0.06325 mol KBr (119 g / mol) = 7.53 g KBr

2KOH+H2SO4=k2SO4+2H2O Is a balanced equation, displaying the combination of potassium hydroxide with sulfuric acid increase pota
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The number of moles of potassium hydroxide, KOH required to make 4 moles of K₂SO₄ is 8 moles of KOH

Explanation:

2KOH + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

From the above reaction, we have 2 moles of KOH combining with 1 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1 mole of K₂SO₄  and 2 moles of H₂O.

Therefore the number of moles of potassium hydroxide that will be needed to make 4 moles of K₂SO₄ is;

8KOH + 4H₂SO₄ → 4K₂SO₄ + 8H₂O

8 moles of KOH is required to make 4 moles of K₂SO₄.

How many valence electrons are in chlorodifluoromethane
Elis [28]
<span>Well... first, let's recognize that the chemical formula for chlorodifluoromethane is CHClF2. Count out how many valence electrons there are. C = 4, H = 1, Cl = 7, F (X2) = 14. Total is 26. Let's put C as the central atom, and put the other elements surrounding it. Draw a pair of electrons beach each element and the central atom. Then fill the halogen elements with 3 pairs of electrons each to fill their octets. Count out how many dots you have. There should be 26, making this the correct lewis structure! Remember, hydrogen doesn't have a full octet, only a maximum of two electrons.</span>

At a temperature of __________ °c, 0.444 mol of co gas occupies 11.8 l at 889 torr.
Novay_Z [31]
<span>ideal gas law is: PV = nRT P = pressure (torr) = 889 torr V = volume (Liters) = 11.8 L n = moles of gas = 0.444 mol R = gas constant = 62.4 (L * torr / mol * k) solve for T (in kelvin) T = PV/nR T = (889*11.8)/(.444*62.4) T = 378.6 K convert to C (subtract 273) T = 105.6 deg C</span>

How many moles of FeS2 are required to produce 32g of SO2?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

<u>So, the right answer is</u>

No. of moles of FeS₂ = 0.25 mole

Explanation:

From the balanced

4 FeS2 + 11 O2 → 2 Fe2O3 + 8 SO2

it is clear that 4 mol  FeS₂ react with O₂ to give Fe₂O₃ and 8 mol of SO₂

First, we have to convert mass of SO₂ into No. of moles as following:

SO₂ has molar mass = 64 g/mol

No. of moles of SO₂ = (mass / molar mass) = (32 g / 64 g/mol) = 0.5 mol

we know that  

4 mol  FeS₂  gives→ 8 mol of SO₂

1 mol  FeS₂  gives→ 2 mol of SO₂

??? mol  FeS₂  gives→ 0.5 mol of SO₂

No. of moles of FeS₂ = (0.5 mol * 1 mol ) / 2 mol = 0.25 mol

<u>So, the right answer is</u>

No. of moles of FeS₂ = 0.25 mol
