More efficient plumbing reduces water pollution by _______. a. using more water b. using less water c. using cleaner water d. using dirty water Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b. using less water

Explanation:

Pollution can be defined as the physical degradation or contamination of the environment through an emission of harmful, poisonous and toxic chemical substances.

In the United States of America, the agency which was established by US Congress and saddled with the responsibility of overseeing all aspects of pollution, environmental clean up, pesticide use, contamination, and hazardous waste spills is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Also, EPA research solutions, policy development, and enforcement of regulations through the resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

In homes and offices, an effective and efficient design of pipes and other water-related facilities would go a long way to reduce water pollution because the water used are well managed and properly disposed into sinkholes.

Hence, more efficient plumbing reduces water pollution by using less water

What will the change in temperature be when 90 J are applied to 15 g of gold. (cgold = 0.126 J/g°C)

Answers

Answer:

47.6°C is the change of temperature

Explanation:

To solve this question we must use the equation of specific heat of a material:

Q = m*ΔT*S

Where Q is heat applied = 90J

m is the mass of the substance = 15g gold

ΔT is change in temperature = Our incognite

S is specific heat of the material = 0.126J/g°C for gold

Replacing:

90J = 15g*ΔT*0.126J/g°C

90J/15g*0.126J/g°C = ΔT

ΔT = 47.6°C is the change of temperature

7. When a log is thrown on a fire it seems to lose weight; what happens to its physical mass?
a. It disappears
b. It is released into the air
C.
It becomes energy
d. The log does not change weight or size

Answers

Answer:I think it would be D.

Explanation:The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. For example, when wood burns, the mass of the soot, ashes, and gases equals the original mass of the charcoal and the oxygen when it first reacted. So the mass of the product equals the mass of the reactant.

A. The system will be unaffected by stress.
B. The addition of a catalyst will change the equilibrium.
C. The equilibrium position will shift away from what was added to lower its concentration.
D. The equilibrium position will shift away from what was added to increase its concentration.

Answers

Answer:

c: The equilibrium position will shift away from what was added to lower its concentration.

Explanation:

Answer: C. The equilibrium position will shift away from what was added to lower its concentration.

Explanation:

If we have a system that is already in equilibrium, the addition of an extra amount of one of the reactants or one of the products throws the system out of equilibrium. Either the forward or the reverse reaction will then occur to restore equilibrium conditions.

A student carried out a titration using HC2H3O2(aq)HC2H3O2(aq) and NaOH(aq)NaOH(aq). The net ionic equation for the neutralization reaction that occurs during the titration is represented above. The NaOH(aq)NaOH(aq) was added from a buret to the HC2H3O2(aq)HC2H3O2(aq) in a flask. The equivalence point was reached when a total of 20.0mL20.0mL of NaOH(aq)NaOH(aq) had been added to the flask. How does the amount of HC2H3O2(aq)HC2H3O2(aq) in the flask after the addition of 5.0mL5.0mL of NaOH(aq)NaOH(aq) compare to the amount of HC2H3O2(aq)HC2H3O2(aq) in the flask after the addition of 1.0mL1.0mL of NaOH(aq)NaOH(aq), and what is the reason for this result

Answers

Answer:

The amount of HC₂H3₃2(aq) in the flask after the addition of 5.0mL of NaOH(aq) compared to the amount of HC₂H₃O₂(aq) in the flask after the addition of 1.0mL is much smaller because more HC₂H₃O₂(aq) is required to react with 5.0 mL NaOH than with 1.0 mL NaOH.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction between acetic acid, HC₂H₃O₂(aq) and sodium hydroxide, NaOH(aq) is given below:

CH₃COOH (aq) + NaOH (aq) ----> CH₃COONa (aq) + H₂O

The equation of the reaction shows that acetic acid andsodium hydroxide will react in a 1:1 ratio

Since the concentration of NaOH was not given, we can assume that the concentration is 0.01 M

Moles of NaOH in 5.0 mL of 0.01 M NaOH = 0.01 × 5/1000 = 0.00005 moles

Moles of NaOH in 1.0 mL of 0.01 M NaOH = 0.01 ×1/1000 = 0.0001 moles

Ratio of moles of NaOH in 5.0 mL to 1.0 mL = 0.00005/0.00001 = 5

There are five times more moles of NaOH in 5.0 mL than in 1.0 mL and this means that 5 times more the quantity of HC₂H₃O2(aq) required to react with 1.0 mL NaoH is needed to react with 5.0 mL NaOH.

Therefore, the amount of HC₂H₃O2(aq) in the flask after the addition of 5.0mL of NaOH(aq) compared to the amount of HC₂H₃O₂(aq) in the flask after the addition of 1.0mL is much smaller because more HC₂H₃O₂(aq) is required to react with 5.0 mL NaOH than with 1.0 mL NaOH.

71.1 mL of 0.695M rubidium hydroxide neutralized 89.7mL of sulfuric acid and solution of unknown concentration. Find the concentration of the acid

Answers

Answer: Concentration of the acid is 0.551 M.

Explanation:

Given: [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 71.1 mL,      [tex]M_{1}[/tex] = 0.695 M

[tex]V_{2}[/tex] = 89.7 mL,           [tex]M_{2}[/tex] = ?

Formula used to calculate the concentration of acid is as follows.

[tex]M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}[/tex]

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

[tex]M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\0.695 \times 71.1 mL = M_{2} \times 89.7 mL\\M_{2} = 0.551 M[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that concentration of the acid is 0.551 M.

Answers

Answer: Strong acid vs weak acid

Strong acids and strong bases refer to species that completely dissociate to form ions in solution.

Explanation: By contrast, weak acids and bases ionize only partially, and the ionization reaction is reversible. Thus, weak acid and base solutions contain multiple charged and uncharged species in dynamic equilibrium.

Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Include a unit in your answer. (ex: 1.2M)
HNO3 + NaOH --> NaNO3 + H2O

Answers

Answer:

2.33M

Explanation:

1. First, make sure the equation is balanced. In this case it would be HNO3+NaOH --> NaNO3 + H2O. (it is already balanced here.)

2. Find the initial volume, final volume, the volume of acid, volume of NaOH.

      a. Initial Volume: 4.85 mL

      b. Final Volume: 43.69

      c. Acid (HNO3) Volume: 5 mL

      d Volume NaOH: Initial V - Final V --> 43.69 mL - 4.85 mL = 38.84 mL NaOH

3. Find moles of NaOH reacted using the volume from D. Convert this volume into Liters. Multiply the volume of NaOH by molarity of NaOH given to you before. (.30 M NaOH)

      a. x mol NaOH/ .03884 L = .30 mol NaOH/ 1 mol = .011652 mol NaOH

4. Now find the moles of acid. The acid given to you in the equation is HNO3. The .011652 mol NaOH is from the moles reacted that you just found. The moles on the right side would be the co-efficient in front of the elements in the equation. Since this equation does not have any coefficients (it's already balanced), it would just be 1.

      a.  .011652 mol NaOH/ x mol HNO3 = 1 mol NaOH/ 1 mol HNO3.

                       x = .011652 mol HNO3

5. Now find the concentration, also known as molarity. Divide the .011652 mol by the volume of acid you have been given (5 mL). Before using 5 mL, divide it by 1000 to get the Liter form.

     a. .011652 mol HNO3/ .005 L = 2.3304 M HNO3

On a hot day, a 15.0 kg window increased from 20.0 degrees C to 26.7 degrees C. How much heat energy did the glass window absorb? (specific heat of glass = 0.840 J/gC)

Answers

Answer: The heat energy absorbed by the glass window is 84420 J.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 15.0 kg (1 kg = 1000 g) = 15000 g

Specific heat capacity = [tex]0.840^{o}C[/tex]

Initial temperature = [tex]20^{o}C[/tex]

Final temperature = [tex]26.7^{o}C[/tex]

Formula used to calculate heat energy is as follows.

[tex]q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})[/tex]

where,

q = heat energy

m =  mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity

[tex]T_{1}[/tex] = initial temperature

[tex]T_{2}[/tex] = final temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

[tex]q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})\\= 15000 g \times 0.840J/g^{o}C \times (26.7 - 20.0)^{o}C\\= 84420 J[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that heat energy absorbed by the glass window is 84420J.
