For an experiment you are measuring the decomposition rate of organic matter, You have a large amount of CH402 in a container filled with 3.024 L of water. You Created a saline environment by adding 2.4 g of sodium chloride, 3.6 g of calcium chloride, and 2.8 g of magnesium chloride before diluting, iron (III) oxide is available for the microbes to oxidize the matter into carbon dioxide by forming iron (II) aqueous ions. At the beginning of the experiment, you measure the pH using a probe to be 7.13. After 73 hours you measure the pH again and obtain 7.54. Assuming that the pH change is solely due to the oxidation of organic matter, what is the rate of organic matter decomposition in nanograms per hour?
Ideal and Real Gases
Ideal gases obey conditions of the general gas laws under all states of pressure and temperature. Ideal gases are also named perfect gases. The attributes of ideal gases are as follows,
Gas Laws
Gas laws describe the ways in which volume, temperature, pressure, and other conditions correlate when matter is in a gaseous state. The very first observations about the physical properties of gases was made by Robert Boyle in 1662. Later discoveries were made by Charles, Gay-Lussac, Avogadro, and others. Eventually, these observations were combined to produce the ideal gas law.
Gaseous State
It is well known that matter exists in different forms in our surroundings. There are five known states of matter, such as solids, gases, liquids, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate. The last two are known newly in the recent days. Thus, the detailed forms of matter studied are solids, gases and liquids. The best example of a substance that is present in different states is water. It is solid ice, gaseous vapor or steam and liquid water depending on the temperature and pressure conditions. This is due to the difference in the intermolecular forces and distances. The occurrence of three different phases is due to the difference in the two major forces, the force which tends to tightly hold molecules i.e., forces of attraction and the disruptive forces obtained from the thermal energy of molecules.
