Answer:  D. In the ocean

A watershed can be defined as regions of land where all surface water drains into the same place. It is a land that is occupied with water drained from interconnected  rivers, and lakes.  These drainage streams may aggregate in the ocean.

According to the above information the open watershed system likely to dispense off tritium in the ocean because the open watershed water may flow and combine with other reservoirs of water like ocean.

Be sure to answer all parts. For each reaction, find the value of ΔSo. Report the value with the appropriate sign. (a) 3 NO2(g)
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

a. -268.13 J/K

b. -279.95 J/K

c. + 972.59 J/K

Explanation:

The value of the change in entropy (ΔS°) can be calculated by:

ΔS° = ∑n*S° products - ∑n*S° reactants, where n is the stoichiometric number of moles.

The values of S° for each substance can be found on a thermodynamic table.

a. 3NO2(g) + H2O(l) → 2HNO3(l) + NO(g)

S°, NO2(g) = 240.06 J/mol.K

S°, H2O(l) = 69.91 J/mol.K

S°, HNO3(l) = 155.60 J/mol.K

S°, NO(g) = 210.76 J/mol.K

ΔS° = (210.76 + 2*155.60) - (3*240.06 + 69.91)

ΔS° = -268.13 J/K

b. N2(g) + 3F2(g) → 2NF3(g)

S°, N2(g) = 191.61 J/mol.K

S°, F2(g) = 202.78 J/mol.K

S°, NF3(g) = 260.0 J/mol.K

ΔS° = (2*260.0 ) - (191.61 + 3*202.78)

ΔS° = -279.95 J/K

c. C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)

S°, C6H12O6(s) = 212 J/mol.K

S°, O2(g) = 205.138 J/mol.K

S°, CO2(g) = 213.74 J/mol.K

S°, H2O(g) = 188.83 J/mol.K

ΔS° = (6*213.74 + 6*188.83) - (212 + 6*205.138)

ΔS° = +972.59 J/K

andre [41]

Answer:

Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.

Explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

A metal sample is heated and placed into the water in a calorimeter at room temperature. Which statement best describes how the calorimeter can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal sample?

Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature

. Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.

Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature.

Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature.

EXPLANATION;

Using calorimeter to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal sample can be associated to the theory of conservation of energy because heat which is a form of energy is been transfer of heat between the metal to the water and the calorimeter, this process will proceed till single temperature is attained.

The change in the amount of temperature of the water in the calorimeter is measured in order to get the difference in heat change of the calorimeter water.

CHANGE IN HEAT CAN BE CALCULATED USING THE FORMULA.

Q = cmΔT where Q is the change in heat , c is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the change in temperature

An alkene with the molecular formula C8H16 undergoes ozonolysis to yield a mixture of (CH3)2C=O and (CH3)3CCHO. The alkene is:
aalyn [17]

Answer:

2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of (CH_{3})_{2}C=O and (CH_{3})_{3}CHO

Explanation:

In ozonolysis (hydrolysis step involve a reducing agent such as Zn, Me_{2}S etc.), a pi bond is broken to form ketone/aldehyde.

Ketone is formed from di-substituted side of double bond and aldehyde is formed from mono-substituted side of double bond.

Ozoznolysis involves two consecutive steps : (1) formation of ozonide, (2) hydrolysis of ozonide.

Hydrolysis can be done with/without using reducing agent. Carboxylic acid/carbon dioxide/ketone is produced when hydrolysis is done without using reducing agent.

Here, 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of (CH_{3})_{2}C=O and (CH_{3})_{3}CHO

Reaction steps are shown below.

Which reactions performed in the experiment involved chemical changes? crushing calcium carbonate mixing calcium carbonate and h
lisov135 [29]
Mixing calcium carbonate and HCl. 
Heating copper sulfate pentahydrate. 
Mixing potassium iodide and lead nitrate. 
Combining magnesium and hcl. 
Burning the candle. 
 Let's look at the available options and see what are chemical changes and what are physical changes. As a side note, line breaks, capitalization, and punctuation are VERY important. I spent almost as much time attempting to actually figure out what your options were as I spent in distinguishing between what were chemical reactions and physical changes. 
 Crushing calcium carbonate.
 * This is a mere physical change. You start with large pieces of calcium carbonate and end up with smaller pieces. So this is a bad choice. 
 Mixing calcium carbonate and HCl.
 * This is a chemical reaction where the calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid react with each other and produce carbon dioxide plus other compounds. So this is a good choice. 
 Boiling water.
 * Another physical change from liquid to vapor. You can cool down the resulting vapor and end up with the original water. So this is a bad choice. 
 Heating copper sulfate pentahydrate.
 * This is a chemical change in that you're converting CuSO4 . 5H2O(s) into CuSO4 and H2O. So this too is a good choice. 
 Separating iron filing and sulfur.
 * You start out with iron filings and sulfur and end up with iron filings and sulfur. Things are a bit more orderly, but no chemical reactions have occurred. So this is a bad choice. 
 Mixing potassium iodide and lead nitrate. * You start with 2 white solids and upon mixing them, you get a yellow solid.
A chemical reaction has occurred. So this is a good choice. 

 Combining magnesium and hcl.
 * When you combine these two items, you get hydrogen gas as a product. So you have a chemical reaction. And this is a good choice. 
 Burning the candle.
 * Another chemical reaction. The wax combines with the oxygen in the air and produces water vapor and carbon dioxide. So this is a good choice.

Phosphorous acid, H3PO3(aq), is a diprotic oxyacid that is an important compound in industry and agriculture. K pKa1 K pKa2 1.30
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

* Before addition of any KOH:

pH = 0,0301

*After addition of 25.0 mL KOH:

pH = 1,30

*After addition of 50.0 mL KOH:

pH = 2,87

*After addition of 75.0 mL KOH:

pH = 6,70

*After addition of 100.0 mL KOH:

pH = 10,7

Explanation:

H₃PO₃ has the following equilibriums:

H₃PO₃ ⇄ H₂PO₃⁻ H⁺

k = [H₂PO₃⁻] [H⁺] / [H₃PO₃] k = 10^-(1,30) <em>(1)</em>

H₂PO₃⁻ ⇄ HPO₃²⁻ + H⁺

k = [HPO₃²⁻] [H⁺] / [H₂PO₃⁻] k = 10^-(6,70) <em>(2)</em>

Moles of H₃PO₃ are:

0,0500L×(1,8mol/L) = 0,09 moles of H₃PO₃

* Before addition of any KOH:

Using (1), moles in equilibrium are:

H₃PO₃: 0,09-x

H₂PO₃⁻: x

H⁺: x

Replacing:

10^{-1.30} = \frac{x^2}{0.09-x}

4.51x10⁻³ - 0.050x -x² = 0

The right solution of x is:

x = 0.0466589

As volume is 0,050L

[H⁺] = 0.0466589moles / 0,050L = 0,933M

As pH = -log [H⁺]

<em>pH = 0,0301</em>

*After addition of 25.0 mL KOH:

0,025L×1,8M = 0,045 moles of KOH that reacts with H₃PO₃ thus:

KOH + H₃PO₃ → H₂PO₃⁻ + H₂O

That means moles of KOH will be the same of H₂PO₃⁻ and moles of H₃PO₃ are 0,09moles - 0,045moles = 0,045moles

Henderson-Hasselbalch formula is:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻] /[HA]

Where A⁻ is H₂PO₃⁻ and HA is H₃PO₃.

Replacing:

pH = 1,30 + log₁₀ [0,045mol] / [0,045mol]

<em>pH = 1,30</em>

*After addition of 50.0 mL KOH:

The addition of 50.0 mL KOH consume all H₃PO₃. Thus, in the solution you will have just H₂PO₃⁻. Thus, moles in solution for the equilibrium will be:

H₂PO₃⁻: 0,09-x

HPO₃²⁻: x

H⁺: x

Replacing:

10^{-6.70} = \frac{x^2}{0.09-x}

1.8x10⁻⁸ - 2x10⁻⁷x - x² = 0

The right solution of x is:

x = 0.000134064

As volume is 50,0mL + 50,0mL = 100,0mL

[H⁺] = 0.000134064moles / 0,100L = 1.34x10⁻³M

As pH = -log [H⁺]

<em>pH = 2,87</em>

*After addition of 75.0 mL KOH:

Applying Henderson-Hasselbalch formula you will have 0,045 moles of both H₂PO₃⁻ HPO₃²⁻ and pka: 6,70:

pH = 6,70 + log₁₀ [0,045mol] / [0,045mol]

<em>pH = 6,70</em>

*After addition of 100.0 mL KOH:

You will have just 0,09moles of HPO₃²⁻, the equilibrium will be:

HPO₃²⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₂PO₃⁻ + OH⁻ with kb = kw/ka = 1x10⁻¹⁴/10^-(6,70) = 5,01x10⁻⁸

kb = [H₂PO₃⁻] [OH⁻] / [HPO₃²⁻]

Moles are:

H₂PO₃⁻: x

OH⁻: x

HPO₃²⁻: 0,09-x

Replacing:

5.01x10^{-8} = \frac{x^2}{0.09-x}

4.5x10⁻⁹ - 5.01x10⁻⁸x - x² = 0

The right solution of x is:

x = 0.000067057

As volume is 50,0mL + 100,0mL = 150,0mL

[OH⁻] = 0.000067057moles / 0,150L = 4.47x10⁻⁴M

As pH = 14-pOH; pOH = -log [OH⁻]

<em>pH = 10,7</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
