The pka of acetic acid is 4. 75. What is the ratio of the concentration of sodium acetate to the concentration of acetic acid at ph 5. 75?.

15.27895 x 10⁶kg of chlorine radical is added to the atmosphere in a year due to 100 million MVACs                                                                                              

Explanation:

Chlorofluorocarbons (CF₂Cl₂) from refrigerants produce chlorine radicals according to the following equation

         CF₂Cl₂ → CF2Cl  + Cl ⁻ (1)

From equation 1, one mole of CF₂Cl₂ produces one mole of Chlorine radical

From the question,

The emission rate of CF₂Cl₂ is 59.5mg/hour/MVAC

In one day the emission rate would be 59.5 x 24hours

                                                                  = 1428mg/day

In one year, the emission rate would be 1428mg/day x 365days

                                                                 =  521220mg/year

                                                                   = 521.220g/year/MVAC

Therefore the emission rate for 100 million MVAC using CF₂CL₂ in a year is

                                                                    = 52122 x 10⁶g/year/MVAC

                                                                    = 52122 x 10³kg/year/MVAC

The molar mass of CF₂CL₂                       = 120.913g/mol

No of moles  of CF₂CL₂                              = mass/ molar mass

                                                                     = 52122 x 10⁶g / 120.913g/mol

                                                                      = 431 x 10⁶ moles of CF₂Cl₂

From equation 1,  since one mole of CF₂Cl₂ produces one mole of Chlorine radical, it implies that

431 x 10⁶ moles of CF₂Cl₂ would produce 431 x 10⁶ moles of chlorine radical,

Therefore, to find the mass of chlorine radical produced, we use the formula

No of moles of chlorine radical  = mass/ molar mass

431 x10⁶ moles = mass of chlorine radical /molar mass of chlorine radical

431 x 10⁶ moles = mass/ 35.45g/mol

mass of chlorine =  431 x 10⁶ moles x 35.45 g/mol

                            =    15278.95 x 10⁶ g

In Kg, the mass    =   15,278.95 x 10³kg of cholrine radical

                             =   15.27895 x 10⁶ Kg of chlorine radical
