A site in Pennsylvania receives a total annual deposition of2.688g/m2 of sulfate from fertilizer and acid rain. The ratio by mass of ammonium sulfate/ammonium bisulfate/sulfuric acidis.3.0/5.5/1.0

(a) How much acid, expressed as kg of sulfuric acid, is deposited over an area of10.km2

(b) How many poundsofCaCO3areneeded to neutralize this acid?

(c) If10.km2is the area of an unpollutedlake3mdeep and there is no loss of acid, what pH would be attained in the year? (Assume constant volume.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The total acid deposited over an area of10km2 is.9460办驳鈥夆赌塇2SO4

b) mass ofCaCO3=鈥2.12脳104鈥塴产蝉

c)辫贬=鈥5.192

Step by step solution

01

To find how much acid

(a)

First, solve the mass of the annual sulfate deposition of different sulfate sources.

massof(NH4)2SO4=鈥3.09.5(2.688鈥塯/m2)=鈥0.849驳/尘2

massofNH4HSO4=5.59.5脳2.688驳/尘2鈥=鈥1.556驳/尘2massofH2SO4=1.09.5脳2.688驳/尘2鈥=鈥夆赌0.283驳/尘2

(NH4)2SO4is a weak acid so it will not significantly contribute to the acid in terms of sulfuric acid.

(NH4)2SO4producesHSO ions that will further dissociate toSO42

NH4HSO2NH4++HSO4-HSO4-+H2OSO42-+H3O+

H2SO4鈥墂颈濒濒辫谤辞诲耻肠别贬厂翱-andH3O+ions andwill further dissociates to produce.SO2

H2SO4HSO-+H3O+HSO4-+H2OSO42-+H3O+

As observedNH4HSO2, only contributed halfH3O+permoleofH2SO4 (it did not produce any H3O+on its first dissociation).

02

To solve for the total of acid as sulfuric acid

Now, solve for the total of acid as sulfuric acid.

Solve for the total sulfuric acid.

Totalamountofacid=acidfromNH4SO4+acidfromH2SO4罢辞迟补濒补尘辞耻苍迟辞蹿补肠颈诲鈥=鈥0.663驳/尘2+0.283g/m2罢辞迟补濒=鈥0.946驳/尘2H2SO4

Lastly, solve for the total acid deposited over an area of10km2

in kilograms.

罢辞迟补濒鈥塧尘辞耻苍迟辞蹿补肠颈诲=鈥10办尘20.946gm2(1000m)2(1km)21kg1000g=鈥夆赌9460办驳鈥塇2SO4

Hence the total acid deposited over an area ofis.9460办驳鈥塇2SO4

03

To find the pounds

(b)

First, write the equation of the neutralization reaction between.

H2SO4andCaCO3

CaCO3+H2SO4CaSO4+H2CO3

H2CO3will dissociate to water and carbon dioxide.

CaCO3+H2SO4CaSO4+H2O+CO2

Now solve for the mass ofCaCO3needed to neutralize the acid.

=21284.56606

Hence mass of.CaCO3鈥=鈥夆赌2.12脳104鈥塴产蝉

04

 Step 4: To find pH would be attained in the year

(c)

Again, the formula of the dissociation of.H2SO4

H2SO4HSO-+H3O+HHSO4-+H2OSO42-+H3O+

As observed, 2 moles ofH3O+in total were produced from 1moleH2SO4.Solve for the concentration ofH3O+in the lake.

First, solve for the number of moles.

H3O+=鈥9460办驳鈥塇2SO41000g1kg1尘辞濒鈥塇2SO498.1驳鈥塇2SO42尘辞濒鈥塇3O+1尘辞濒鈥塇HO4尘辞濒别蝉鈥塷蹿鈥塇3O+=192864.4241尘辞濒别蝉鈥塇3O+

Then solve for the volume of the lake.

痴=鈥塴丑飞鈥=鈥碱丑苍=10办尘2(1000m)2(1km)23尘脳1000L1m3脳痴=3.0脳1010L

Now solve for[H3O+]

[H3O+]鈥=鈥molL鈥=鈥192864.4241molH3O+3.0脳1010L鈥=鈥6.4288-6鈥塎

Lastly, solve for the pH

辫贬=鈥-濒辞驳[H3O+]辫贬鈥=鈥-濒辞驳(6.4288-6)辫贬=鈥5.192

Hence辫贬=鈥5.192
