Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 6RAT
Fish don't live very long in water that has just been boiled and brought back to room temperature. Why?
- (a) There is now a higher concentration of dissolved CO2 in the water.
- (b) The nutrients in the water have been destroyed.
- (c) Since some of the water evaporated while boiling, the salts in the water are now more concentrated. This has a negative effect on the fish.
- (d) The boiling process removes the air that was dissolved in the water. Upon cooling, the water does not have its usual air content—hence, the fish drown.

- The acidity or alkalinity of a solution is defined by pH = –log[H+] where [H+] is the hydrogen ion concentration, measured in moles per liter. Solutions with a pH value of less than 7 are acidic; solutions with a pH value of greater than 7 are basic and solutions with a pH of 7 (such as pure water) are neutral. a) Suppose that you test apple juice and find that the hydrogen ion concentration is [H+] = 0.0003.

- The recommended daily caloric intake is 2000 calories (8,400,000J). This is because this is the same value for how much the average body loses to heat and work in a typical day (your change in energy is zero because you take in the same amount of energy you lose). A) If you lose a total of 8,400,000J (Qout+W=total lost), but consume 1200 calories of food (5,000,000J), what would your change in energy be?

- (a) A commercial 737 jet transporting 143 passengersand 5 crew members from Kansas City (MCI) to Baltimore (BWI) burned 11,800 lb (about 1700 gallons)of Jet A fuel en route. Jet A fuel is kerosine based,consisting primarily of CnH2n+2 hydrocarbons, withn: 5 6 to 16, so the carbonhydrogen ratio is close to12. During this flight, how much CO2 was releasedinto the atmosphere? Assume the combustion of thefuel was complete, so all the fuel was burned to formCO2 and H2O. Give both the mass of CO2 produced(in kg and in lbs) and the volume it would occupy at298 K, 1 atm.(b) How much CO2 would be released into the atmosphere if those passengers and crew made the tripinstead, in pairs, in hybrid cars at 40 miles per gallon.Assume the density of the gasoline is 0.75 kg L21andthat carbon and hydrogen dominate the compositionin a ratio of 1:2.
