Lake Michigan is 577 ft above sea level and Lake Tahoe is 6,225 ft above sea level. The water temperature of both lakes is the same. Based on this information, how would you expect the atmospheric pressure at the two lakes to compare? Using Henry’s Law, how will the concentrations of oxygen in the lakes compare?

Answer:

Solubility of oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxygen gas can physically dissolve in water. There is a maximum equilibrium concentration for dissolved oxygen in water. This is called saturation concentration of dissolved oxygen. The saturation concentration of dissolved oxygen depends on some factors such as temperature, pressure, and the salinity of water.

At higher altitude pressure is low. Lower is the pressure lower is the solubility of gas. Since a Tohae lake is at higher altitude solubility is less as compared to  another lake at sea level.

P Answered by Master

Answer:

Lake Tahoe will involve lesser concentration of O2 due to lesser pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the height increases, atmospheric pressure decreases. So lake Tahoe will have lesser pressure around it. 

ACC to Henry's law, as pressure decreases solubility decreases. So this lake will have lesser concentration of oxygen.

What elements combined with Strontium, St, in a 1:1 ratio?
Step-by-step answer
P Answered by PhD
Answer: chalcogens.
Explanation: Strontium is an alkaline earth metal, it always exhibits a degree of oxidation in its compounds +2.
Chalcogens are a group of 6 chemical elements (oxygen O, sulfur S, selenium se, tellurium te, polonium Po) that have an oxidation state of -2 => Chalcogens will combine with strontium in a ratio of 1:1.

Fiona claims that the diagram below shows simple machines, but Chad claims that it shows a compound machine. A man pushes a shopping cart up a ramp. Which statement best explains who is correct? Fiona is correct because less than three machines are shown in the diagram. Fiona is correct because the diagram shows two individual simple machines. Chad is correct because more than one machine is shown in the diagram. Chad is correct because the diagram shows two simple machines doing a job.
Step-by-step answer
P Answered by Specialist
Answer: b. Fiona is correct because the diagram shows two individual simple machines.

Explanation:
A mechanical device using which we can change the direction or magnitude of force applied is known as simple machine.
For example, in the given diagram there are two individual simple machines.
The machine helps in changing the direction or magnitude of force applied by the man. As a result, it becomes easy for him to carry different things easily from one place to another.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement Fiona is correct because the diagram shows two individual simple machines, is correct.
Answer: b. Fiona is correct because the diagram shows two individual simple machines. Explanation

Based on the equation, how many grams of Br2 are required to react completely with 29.2 grams of AlCl3 (5 points)? 2AlCl3 + 3Br2 → 2AlBr3 + 3Cl2
Step-by-step answer
P Answered by PhD

Answer:

52.6 gram

Step-by-step explanation:

It is clear by the equation 2(27+3×35.5)= 267 gm of AlCl3 reacts with 6× 80 = 480 gm of Br2 . So 29.2 gm reacts = 480× 29.2/267= 52.6 gm

The reaction of 15 moles carbon with 30 moles O2. Will result in a theoretical yield of_ moles CO2.
Step-by-step answer
P Answered by PhD
15 moles.Explanation:Hello,In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:Clearly, since carbon and oxygen are in a 1:1 molar ratio, 15 moles of carbon will completely react with 15 moles of oxygen, therefore 15 moles of oxygen remain as leftovers. In such a way, since carbon and carbon dioxide are also in a 1:1 molar ratio, the theoretical yield of carbon dioxide is 15 moles based on the stoichiometry:Best regards.

The half life of radium 226 is 1602 years. If you have 500 grams of radium today how many grams would have been present 9612 years ago?
Step-by-step answer
P Answered by PhD
Answer: 7.8125 g
Explanation: Given:
Original amount (N₀) = 500 g
Number of half-lives (n) = 9612/1602 = 6
Amount remaining (N) = ?
N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀
N = 1/2^6 × 500
N = 0.015625 × 500
N = 7.8125 g

Classify each solution as acidic, basic, or neutral. a. [H+] = 6.0 x 10-10M b. [OH-] = 30 × 10-2M C. IH+1 = 20× 10-7M d. [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7M
Step-by-step answer
P Answered by PhD
Answer: a. basic
b. basic
c. acidic
d. neutral

Explanation: Acids and bases can be classified in terms of hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions, or in terms of electron pairs. (look at the picture)
Let us note that from the pH scale, a pH of;
0 - 6.9 is acidic
7 is neutral
8 - 14 is basic

But pH= - log [H^+]
pOH = -log [OH^-]
Then;
pH + pOH = 14
Hence;
pH = 14 - pOH

a. [H+] = 6.0 x 10-10M
pH= 9.22 is basic
b. [OH-] = 30 × 10-2M
pH = 13.5 is basic
C. IH+1 = 20× 10-7M
pH = 0.56 is acidic
d. [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7M
pH = 7 is neutral
Answer: a. basic b. basic c. acidic d. neutral Explanation: Acids and bases can be classified

A hot air balloon contains 270.0 L of helium at 24 degrees C and 845 mm Hg. What will be the volume of the balloon at -50.0 degrees C and a pressure of 0.735 atm?
Step-by-step answer
P Answered by PhD
Answer: 306 L
Explanation: Using the ideal gas law,
PV = nRT
where R = 0.08206 L•atm/(mol•°K), solving for n gives
n = PV/(RT)
n = (845 mmHg) (270 L) / ((0.08206 L•atm/(mol•°K)) (24 °C))

Convert the given temperature to °K and the given pressure to atm:
24 °C = (273.15 + 24) °K ≈ 297.2 °K
(845 mmHg) × (1/760 atm/mmHg) ≈ 1.11 atm

Then the balloon contains
n = (1.11 atm) (270 L) / ((0.08206 L•atm/(mol•°K)) (297.2 °K))
n ≈ 12.3 mol
of He.

Solve the same equation for V :
V = nRT/P

Convert the target temperature to °K:
-50 °C = (273.15 - 50) °K = 223.15 °K

Then the volume under the new set of conditions is
V = (12.3 mol) (0.08206 L•atm/(mol•°K)) (223.15 °K) / (0.735 atm)
V ≈ 306 L
