The small bubbles that form on the bottom of a water pot that is being heated (before boiling) are due to dissolved air coming out of solution. Use Henry's law and the solubilities given to calculate the total volume of nitrogen and oxygen gas that should bubble out of 1.5 L of water upon warming from 25°C to 50°C. Assume that the water is initially saturated with nitrogen and oxygen gas at 25°C and a total pressure of 1.0 atm. Assume that the gas bubbles out at a temperature of 50°C. The solubility of oxygen gas at 50°C is 27.8 mg/L at an oxygen pressure of 1.00 atm. The solubility of nitrogen gas at 50°C is 14.6 mg/L at a nitrogen pressure of 1.00 atm. Assume that the air above the water contains an oxygen partial pressure of 0.21 atm and a nitrogen partial pressure of 0.78 atm.

It is done by continuously adding sodium fluoride to water as it comes from a reservoir. Assume you live in a medium-sized city of 150,000 people and that 660 L (170 gal) of water is used per person per day. What mass of sodium fluoride (in kilograms) must be added to the water supply each year (365 days) to have the required fluoride concentration of 1 ppm (part per million)that is, 1 kilogram of fluoride per 1 million kilograms of water? (Sodium fluoride is 45.0% fluoride, and water has a density of 1.00 g/cm3.)arrow_forwardRefer to Figure 13.10 ( Sec. 13-4b) to answer these questions.
