To what degree and in what ways were the progressives able to enact social welfare legislation.

Social welfare legislation refers to how a government helps to protect and promote economic opportunities for its citizens. This idea is seen throughout the Progressive Era in US history. One of the most famous Progressive presidents, Teddy Roosevelt, helped to enact several laws that fall under this category.

One of these laws was the establishment of the 8 hour work day. Before the Progressive era, individuals worked anywhere from 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week. This had a severe negative impact on American families. To change this, Roosevelt had the federal government investigate these practices and offer solutions to help protect American families.

Along with the standardized work day, Roosevelt also passed the Pure Food and Drug Act as well as the Meat Inspection Act. The Pure Food and Drug Act provided American citizens, as businesses were not able to sell any materials that were considered toxic. The Meat Inspection Act ensured that companies were no longer selling rotten or diseased meat.

These laws helped to improve the overall quality of life for American citizens.

a) 132 g NaCl consumed at 1.5 Atm & 290K

b) 93.2 g NaCl consumed at STP

Explanation:

F₂ + 2NaCl => 2NaF + Cl₂

Given 18L F₂(g) at 1.5Atm & 290K

moles F₂(g) = PV/RT = (1.5Atm)(18L)/(0.08206L·Atm/mol·K)(290K) = 1.135 mol F₂(g) consumed

moles NaCl consumed = 2(moles F₂) = 2(1.135) mol NaCl = 2.269 mol NaCl

mass NaCl = 2.269 mol NaCl x 58 g/mol = 131.61 g ≅ 132 g consumed at 1.5 Atm & 290K

Given 18L F₂(g) - same volume as in part a -  at STP

moles F₂(g) = PV/RT = (1.0Atm)(18L)/(0.08206L·Atm/mol·K)(273K) = 0.803 mol F₂(g) consumed

moles NaCl consumed = 2(moles F₂) = 2(0.803) mole NaCl = 1.607 mol NaCl

mass NaCl = 1.607 mol NaCl x 58 g/mol = 93.2 g NaCl consumed at STP
