Explain the importance of oxidation-reduction phenomena in the environmental chemistry ?
The Yucca Mountain repository in Nevada, which is intended for the long-term storage of nuclear waste, has long been mired in controversy. One ongoing concern is whether the stainless-steel alloy containers could be corroded by salts such as calcium fluoride (CaF2). If the calcium ion concentration in water inside Yucca Mountain is 1.25 x 10–3 M, what is the maximum possible concentration of fluoride ion in this water? Assume calcium fluoride4 Ksp = 2.2 x 10–10 at the temperatures inside the nuclear waste depository.
With all other things being equal, in which of the following locations will an iron fence corrode the fastest?
A house at a coastal area at sea level in a tropical country
A house located on an inland plateau in a temperate country
A house located at sea level on a landlocked portion of a temperate country
A house at a coastal area situated atop a cliff in a tropical country

The diver must hold his or her breath for the duration of the dive. The record depth, with no equipment such as diving fins, is 101 m; the official record time is over 11 minutes. Historically, freediving has been used by pearl divers and sponge divers. Some freedivers hyperventilate (breathe rapidly and deeply) before diving. Hyperventilation can change the concentration of CO2CO2 in the blood and may increase the length of time that a person feels like he or she can hold his or her breath. How does hyperventilation affect blood pH? - It increases CO2CO2 and H+H+ in the blood, decreasing pH. - It increases CO2CO2 and decreases H+H+ in the blood, decreasing pH. - It decreases CO2CO2 and H+H+ in the blood, increasing pH. - It decreases CO2CO2 and increases H+H+ in the blood, decreasing pH.arrow_forward

- According to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?arrow_forwardIn determining the volume of CO2 in the flask, the flask was filled with water and the total volume of the water in the stoppered flask was measured.

- In Module #4, we discussed the role of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in catalyzing the destruction of O3 in the stratosphere. One example of a CFC that is known to exasperate formation of the hole in the O3 layer is dichlorodifluoromethane (CF2Cl2). In the year 2000, this chemical reached its peak concentration of 2.2 x 10-11 M in the atmosphere. The destruction of CF2Cl2 can be approximated as a first-order process and the 1996 treaty on CFC emissions has eliminated its release into the atmosphere. Given that the rate constant for destruction of CF2Cl2 in the atmosphere is 0.009 yr-1, how long will it take for the concentration of CF2Cl2 to decline to 0.22 x 10-11 M?arrow_forwardEXTRACTION OF A PURE METAL FROM A METAL ORE closely follows one method of making copper metal in the industry.
