Hello, I am stuck on a chemistry question. Would you be able to help? You arrive at a crime scene and are told the body of the victim is at the bottom of a pool that is 10 m deep. You walk over to what you are told is a 12 m in diameter, cylindrical pool. From the outside of the pool, you can see that the body looks badly burnt. Your partner says, “It looks like our victim had been burned alive and tried to put out the fire by jumping in the pool. The victim likely drowned to death.”

Something does not sit right with you though. If there was a fire, where did it start? There are no signs of combustion anywhere. You aren’t so sure and ask the crime scene investigator to run a sample of the pool water before letting anybody try to pull the body out.

The CSI comes back to you and tells you that normal pool water pH is roughly around 7.2, but the pool pH is actually highly basic at a level of 13, with a concentration of hydroxide ions at 1.0 x 10-1 mol/L. It becomes obvious to you that the body wasn’t burned before going in to the pool, but AFTER, and there was no fire needed!

You order the body to be removed from the pool, but the CSI interjects, “It would be too dangerous with a pH that high. I suggest you get some vinegar from the store and pour it in to the pool beforehand to drop the pH to 7. Draining the pool would take far too long and we need to examine the body as soon as possible.” She asks one of your constables to go to the store to purchase five 4L jugs of vinegar (pH = 2) to pour in the pool, as she states it is enough to bring the pH to a safe level of 7.

It sounds like it could be enough vinegar based on your knowledge of acids and bases, but you want to double-check her estimate before sending your constable to the store. Verify whether or not she is correct using calculations. A diagram may help you with your calculations.

Hint 1: 1m3 = 1000L

Hint 2: Vcylinder = πr2h

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The vinegar is not enough to neutralize the pool.

Explanation:

The [OH⁻] in the pool is 1.0x10⁻¹mol / L. To know how many moles of OH⁻ are in the solution, you must calculate volume of the pool thus:

V(pool) = πr²h

Where r, radius is d/2 = 12m/2 = 6m  and h is deep of the pool = 10m

V(pool) = π(6m)²*10

V(pool) = 1131m³

As 1m³ = 1000L:

1131m³  × (1000L / 1m³) = 1131000L in the pool.

And moles of OH⁻ are:

1.0x10⁻¹mol / L ₓ 1131000L = 131100 moles of OH⁻ are in the pool

The neutralization of OH⁻ with H⁺ is:

OH⁻ + H⁺ → H₂O

That means to neutralize the pool you must add 131100 moles of H⁺.

The H⁺ concentration in a vinegar pH = 2 is:

pH = -log [H⁺]

2 = -log [H⁺]

1x10⁻²M = [H⁺]

4L are just 4x10⁻² moles of [H⁺]. As you need 131100 moles of H⁺:

The vinegar is not enough to neutralize the pool.

The standard reduction potential of a chromium electrode is -0.74 volts when chromium is reduced from chromium (III). The standard potential of the cell where chromium is oxidized and cerium (IV) is reduced to cerium (III) is 2.35 V. For each half reaction how many electrons are transferred

Answers

Answer:

three electrons were transferred in the process

Explanation:

The electrode potential of the cathode is

E°cathode= E°cell + E°anode

E°cathode = 2.35V + (-0.74V)

E°cathode= 1.61 V

Let us look at the reduction half equation; the oxidation half equation must be;

Oxidation half equation;

Cr(s) ----> Cr^3+(aq) + 3e

The reduction half equation must now be

Reduction half equation;

3Ce^4+(aq) + 3e ----> 3Ce^3+(aq)

This implies that three electrons were transferred in the process as shown by the balanced half cell reaction equations.

Explanation:

When two or more substances are chemically combined in a fixed proportion of mass, substance formed is a compound.

Properties of a compound are different from the properties of the elements from which the compound is formed.

If Magnesium (Mg) is burned in the presence of Oxygen (O₂), Magnesium oxide (MgO) is formed.

Properties of MgO are different from Mg and O₂ because MgO is a COMPOUND.

A large scuba tank with a volume of 18 L is rated for a pressure of 220 bar. The tank is filled at 20 °C and contains enough air to supply 1860 L of air to a diver at a pressure of 2.37 atm (a depth of 45 feet). Was the tank filled to capacity at 20 °C?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, at 20 °C the tank was filled to full capacity

Explanation:

Given;

let initial pressure, P₁ = 2.37 atm

let initial volume, V₁ = 1860 L

let final pressure, P₂ = 220 bar = 217.123 atm

let final volume, V₂ = ?

Subject the air volume (1860 L )  at 2.37 atm to the tank rating (220 bar)

Ideal law is given by;

PV = nRT

At a fixed mole and gas temperature, the equation becomes;

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V₂ = (P₁V₁) / P₂

V₂ = (2.37 x 1860) / 217.123

V₂ = 20.3 L

After subjecting the air volume to tank rating, the volume of the air at 220 bar is 20.3 L which is greater than tank volume (18 L).

The extra 2.3 L can be assumed to be compressed gas volume due to the given (lower) temperature.

Thus, at 20 °C the tank was filled to full capacity.

If the pH of a weak acid solution is 2.500 and the solution has a concentration of 0.100M, what is the Ka of the weak acid HA?

Answers

Answer:

The Kₐ of the weak acid is 1.033×10⁻⁴

Explanation:

The dissociation of a weak acid in aqueous solution is limited to about 5 to 10%

The acid dissociation reaction is given as follows;

HA (aq) + H₂O (l) → H₃O⁺(aq) + A⁻ (aq)

Given that the pH = 2.5, we have

pH = -log₁₀[H₃O⁺] = 2.5

∴ [H₃O⁺] = 10^(-2.5) = 0.0031623

[tex]K_a = \dfrac{[H_3O^+][A^-]}{[HA]}[/tex]

Kₐ = [H₃O⁺][A⁻]/[HA] = (0.0031623^2)/(0.1 - 0.0031623) = 1.033×10⁻⁴

The acid dissociation constant, Kₐ for weak acid is very low as obtained

why the filament of bulb has high melting point​

Answers

Answer:

The filament of a bulb has a high melting point because of the heat generated inside the bulb.

Explanation:

When electricity is concentrating and run through a bulb, it starts to generate heat. Leave it on long enough and it will start to build up a lot of heat. Have you ever tried touching a light bulb when it has been all day? It's scorching to the skin.

Since electricity generates heat, the bulb's filament has to have a high melting point so it doesn't melt, destroy the bulb, and leave you light-less. If the filament has a high melting point, then it is able to withstand heat generated by electricity and provide you light.

How is this model useful? It shows how electrons are distributed in the shells of an iron atom. It shows how electrons are distributed in the shells of a cobalt atom. It shows how orbitals are distributed in the shells of an iron atom. It shows how orbitals are distributed in the shells of a cobalt atom.

Answers

The correct answer is A. It shows how electrons are distributed in the shells of an iron atom.

Explanation:

In the model described, the circles represent the orbitals or shells of the atom, while the dots represent the distribution of electrons (negatively charged sub-particles). Additionally, the description shows the general electronic configuration of this atom is 2, 8, 14, 2, which means in the first orbital there are two electrons, in the second there are eight electrons, in the third, there are fourteenth electrons and in the fifth orbital there are two electrons. This electronic configuration occurs in the atoms of iron. Also, this differs from Cobalt because in cobalt the third orbital has 15 electrons. Thus, the model "shows how electrons are distributed in the shells of an iron atom".

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Consider a pure crystalline solid that is heated from absolute zero to a temperature above the boiling point of the liquid. Which of the following processes produces the greatest increase in the entropy of the substance? A ) melting the solid B ) heating the gas C ) vaporizing the liquid D ) heating the solid E ) heating the liquid

Answer:

vaporizing the liquid

Explanation:

We generally define entropy in chemistry as the degree of disorderliness in a system. The entropy of gases is greater than that of liquids and the entropy of liquids is greater than that of solids. It then logically follows that the degree of entropy in gases is the greatest among all the states of matter while the entropy of solids is the least among all the states of matter since solid particles remain in their mean positions and can only vibrate or sometimes rotate. Liquid particles may translate while gaseous particles move at high velocity with negligible intermolecular forces of attraction between them.

A phase transition from liquid to gaseous state now represents the greatest change in the entropy of the system since gases posses the highest entropy among all the states of matter, hence the answer.
