The vapor from elemental mercury metal is a neurotoxin. Most dentists have levels of mercury in their urine of 10 micrograms per liter (1 microgram is 10^-6 grams), which is about twice that

of their patients. The legal safe maximum exposure limit for mercury in urine is 4.053 x 10^17 atoms of mercury per liter of urine. Does this level mean that the average dentist is at risk for

mercury poisoning? In other words, is this amount, 10 micrograms per liter of urine, above or below the legal safe limit? Show your work and justify your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 10 micrograms per liter of urine is below the legal safe limit and the dentist is not at risk for mercury poisoning.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the formula:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex]

We are given:

Given mass of mercury = [tex]10\mu g=10^{-5}g[/tex]        (Conversion factor: [tex]1\mu g=10^{-6}g[/tex] )

Molar mass of mercury = 200.6 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]\text{Moles of mercury}=\frac{10^{-5}g}{200.6g/mol}\\\\\text{Moles of mercury}=4.9\times 10^{-8}mol[/tex]

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an element contains [tex]6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex] number of atoms

So, [tex]4.9\times 10^{-8}[/tex] moles of mercury will contain = [tex]\frac{6.022\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 4.9\times 10^{-8}=2.95\times 10^{16}[/tex] number of atoms.

We are given:

Legal safe limit for mercury in urine = [tex]4.053\times 10^{17}[/tex] atoms

Calculated amount of mercury in urine = [tex]2.95\times 10^{16}[/tex] atoms

As, the calculated amount of mercury in urine is less than the legal safe limit of mercury in urine. So, the average dentist is not at risk for mercury poisoning.

Hence, 10 micrograms per liter of urine is below the legal safe limit and the dentist is not at risk for mercury poisoning.

in a car engine a 250 mL cylinder and piston system is filled with a mixture of 0.42g and 0.24 g of octane gas and oxygen gas, respectively. Both gases are at room temperature of 33 c. If the total gas mixture is compressed to a pressure of 3.7 atm before combustion, calculate the total volume of gas mixture at this point in time.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]V_2=76.0mL[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, given the initial masses of both octane (C8H18, molar mass = 114 g/mol)) and oxygen (O2, molar mass = 32 g/mol), we can compute their moles and subsequently the total pressure via the ideal gas equation at 33 °C into the 250-mL:

[tex]n_{octane}=0.42g*\frac{1mol}{114g} =3.7x10^{-3}mol\\\\n_{oxygen}=0.24g*\frac{1mol}{32g} =7.5x10^{-3}mol\\\\n_T=7.5x10^{-3}mol+3.7x10^{-3}mol=0.0112mol\\\\P_1=\frac{n_TRT}{V_1}=\frac{0.0112mol*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(33+273.15)K}{0.25L}=1.1atm[/tex]

After that, via the Boyle's law, we compute the final pressure in the cylinder and piston system:

[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} =\frac{250mL*1.1atm}{3.7atm}\\ \\V_2=76.0mL[/tex]

Q1) A vapor-compression refrigeration system operates on the cycle of Fig. 9.1. The refrigerant is 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane. Given that the evaporation T = 4°C, the condensation T = 34°C, η(compressor) = 0.76, and the refrigeration rate = 1200 kJ⋅s−1, determine the circulation rate of the refrigerant, the heat-transfer rate in the condenser, the power requirement, the coefficient of performance of the cycle, and the coefficient of performance of a Carnot refrigeration cycle operating


between the same temperature levels.

Answers

Answer:

i)   0.5071 (kg/s)

ii)  -1407.1 kj/kg

iii)  204.05 Kw

iv)  5.881

v)    9.238

Explanation:

Given Data:

evaporation temperature ( T ) = 4°c = 277.15 K

Condensation Temperature ( T ) = 34°c = 307.15 K

n ( compressor efficiency ) = 0.76

refrigeration rate = 1200 kJ.s^-1

i) determine the circulation rate of the refrigerant

m = [tex]\frac{Q}{H2 - H1}[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{Q}{H2 - H4\\}[/tex]  ------- 1

Q = 1200 Kj.s^-1

H2 = entropy at step 2 = 2508.9 (kJ / kg ) ( gotten from Table F )

H4 = entropy at step 4 = 142.4 ( kJ/ kg )

back to equation 1

m ( circulation rate of refrigerant ) = 0.5071 (kg/s)

ii) heat transfer rate in the condenser

Q = m ( H4 - H3 )

    = 0.5071 ( 142.4 - 2911.27 )

    = -1407.1 kj/kg

where H3 = H2 + ΔH23 = 2911.27 (kj/kg) ( as calculated )

iii) power requirement

w = m * ΔH23

   = 0.5071 (kg/s) * 402.37 (kj/kg) =  204.05 Kw

where: ΔH23 = [tex]\frac{H'3 - H2 }{0.76}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2814.7-2508.9}{0.76}[/tex] = 402.37 (kj/kg)

iv) coefficient of performance of a cycle

W = Qc / w

  = 1200 Kj.s^-1/ 204.05 kw

  = 5.881

v) coefficient of performance of a Carnot refrigeration cycle

[tex]w_{carnot} = \frac{T2}{T4 - T2}[/tex]

            =  277.15 / ( 307.15 - 277.15 )

            = 9.238

Calculate the hydronium ion, H3O+ , and hydroxide ion, OH− , concentrations for a 0.0440 M HCl solution. [H3O+]= M [OH−]=

Answers

Answer:

[H3O+] = 0.0440M

[OH-] = 2.27x10⁻¹³M

Explanation:

Based on the equilibrium of water:

2H2O ⇄ H3O+ + OH-

K = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [H3O+] [OH-] (1)

We can determine [OH-] with [H3O+] or vice versa

As HCl is a strong acid, [HCl] = [H3O+]

That means:

[H3O+] = 0.0440M

And [OH-] is:

1x10⁻¹⁴ / [H3O+] = [OH-]

2.27x10⁻¹³M = [OH-]

Taking into account the definition of pH and pOH, the hydronium ion, H₃O⁺, and hydroxide ion, OH−, are 0.044 M and 2.29×10⁻¹³ M respectively.

First of all, pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity that indicates the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution or substance.

The pH is defined as the negative base 10 logarithm of the activity of hydrogen ions, that is, the concentration of hydrogen ions or H₃O⁺:

pH= - log [H⁺]= - log [H₃O⁺]

Similarly, pOH is a measure of hydroxyl ions in a solution and is expressed as the logarithm of the concentration of OH⁻ ions, with the sign changed:

pOH= - log [OH⁻]

The following relationship can be established between pH and pOH:

pOH + pH= 14

In this case, you have a 0.044 M HCl.   HCl is a strong acid.

It is called strong acid, that acid that dissociates completely in solution at constant temperature and pressure. Under these conditions, the concentration of a strong acid is equal to the concentration of hydrogen ions (Hydronium or H₃O⁺). Then, in this case:

[H⁺]=  [H₃O⁺]= [HCl]= 0.044 M

Replacing in the definition of pH:

pH= -log (0.044 M)

Solving:

pH= 1.36

Considering the relationship established between pH and pOH:

pOH + 1.36= 14

pOH= 14 -1.36

pOH= 12.64

Finally, replacing in the definition of pOH:

12.64= -log [OH-]

[OH-]= 10⁻¹² ⁶⁴

[OH-]= 2.29×10⁻¹³ M

In summary, the hydronium ion, H₃O⁺, and hydroxide ion, OH−, are 0.044 M and 2.29×10⁻¹³ M respectively.

QUESTION 6

1. What is the maximum amount (in grams) of sulfur dioxide that can be produced by the reaction of 1380 g

of dihydrogen sulfide with 6890 g of oxygen according to the balanced equation below?

2 H2S(g) + 3 O2(g) + 2 H2O(g) + 2 SO2(g)

Enter the numeric value in the box without units.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

2 H₂S(g)   +   3O₂(g)  =  2 H₂O(g)   +   2SO₂(g)

2 moles           3 moles                         2 moles

1380 g of H₂S = 1380 / 34 = 40.588 moles of H₂S

6890 g of oxygen  = 6890 / 32 = 215.31 moles of oxygen

Here H₂S is limiting reagent .

2 mole of H₂S  reacts to give 2 moles of sulfur dioxide .

40.588 moles of H₂S will react to give 40.588 moles of sulfur dioxide.

sulfur dioxide formed = 40.588 moles

= 40.588 x 64 = 2597.63 g of sulfur dioxide.

The maximum amount of sulfur dioxide is 2597.63 g of sulfur dioxide.

Calculation of maximum amount:

Since

2 H₂S(g)   +   3O₂(g)  =  2 H₂O(g)   +   2SO₂(g)

So,

2 moles           3 moles                         2 moles

Now

= 1380 g of H₂S

= 1380 / 34

= 40.588 moles of H₂S

Now

= 6890 g of oxygen

= 6890 / 32

= 215.31 moles of oxygen

Here H₂S represents limiting reagent .

2 moles of H₂S  reacts to provide 2 moles of sulfur dioxide .

Now

40.588 moles of H₂S will react to provide 40.588 moles of sulfur dioxide.

Also,

sulfur dioxide formed = 40.588 moles

So,

= 40.588 x 64

= 2597.63 g of sulfur dioxide.

Answer in units of mol.

Answers

Answer:

0.266 moles of Na⁺

Explanation:

First step we dissociate the salt:

Na₃AsO₄  →  3Na⁺  +  AsO₄⁻³

From 1 mol of sodium arsenate, we must have 3 moles of sodium cation and 1 mol of arsenate.

We determine the moles of salt:

18.4 g . 1 mol/ 207.89 g = 0.0885 moles of salt.

We apply the followring rule of three:

1 mol of salt has 3 moles of Na⁺

0.0885 moles of salt may have (0.0885 . 3) / 1 = 0.266 moles of Na⁺
