In April 2010, the worst oil spill ever recorded occurred when an explosion and fire on the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil-drill

ing rig left 11 workers dead and began releasing oil into the Gulf of Mexico. One of the attempts to contain the spill involved pumping drilling mud into the well to balance the pressure of escaping oil against a column of fluid (the mud) having a density significantly higher than those of seawater and oil. In the following problems, you may assume that seawater has a specific gravity of 1.03 and that the subsea wellhead was 5053 ft below the surface of the Gulf.(a) Estimate the gauge pressure (psig) in the Gulf at a depth of 5053 ft.(b) Measurements indicate that the pressure inside the wellhead is 4400 psig. Suppose a pipe between the surface of the Gulf and the wellhead is filled with drilling mud and balances that pressure. Estimate the specific gravity of the drilling mud.(c) The drilling mud is a stable slurry of seawater and barite SG 4:37. What is the mass fraction of barite in the slurry?(d) What would you expect to happen if the barite weight fraction were significantly less than that estimated in Part (c)? Explain your reasoning.Felder, Richard M.; Rousseau, Ronald W.; Bullard, Lisa G.. Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes, 4th Edition (Page 71). Wiley. Kindle Edition.

What do you do with unused (excess) chemicals that are taken from reagent bottles?
Alekssandra [3086]
Unused chemicals should never be returned to their original containers, as this could lead to contamination. The leftover chemicals should be disposed of in the appropriate waste bin. If there is uncertainty about the procedure, consult your teacher.

An atom has four electrons in its valence shell. What types of covalent bonds is it capable of forming?
Tems11 [2777]
An atom that contains four electrons in its valence shell is capable of forming multiple types of bonds: single bonds, as an atom fitting this description can create four single bonds or a mix of single, double, and triple bonds. Take for instance alkanes, where this atom could form one double bond along with two single bonds, or conversely, two double bonds, which is seen in alkenes. For triple bonds, this atom could make one triple bond and a single bond, as seen in alkynes.

In how many grams of water should 25.31 g of potassium nitrate (kno3) be dissolved to prepare a 0.1982 m solution?
lions [2927]

Solution:

Molality measures the concentration of a solute in a solution, defined by the amount of solute per specific mass of solvent.

Thus,

Molality = moles of solute / kg of solvent.

Therefore, kg of solvent = moles of solute / molality.

moles of solute = mass / molar mass

= 25.31 g / 101.1 g/mole

= 0.2503 mole.

kg of solvent = 0.2503 mole / 0.1982 m

= 1.263 kg

= 1263 g.

This is the final answer.
