Water flowing through pipes of carbon steel must be kept at pH 5 or greater to limit corrosion. If an 8.0 × 10^3 lb/hr water stream contains 10 ppm sulfuric acid and 0.015% acetic acid, how many pounds per hour of sodium acetate trihydrate must be added to maintain that pH? Assume that the sulfuric acid completely ionizes to SO42−.

(b) which contains higher levels of vitamin b, oranges or spinach?

explanation:

you can eliminate a, c, and d because they are questions based on opinions.

answer: - first one is the correct answer. .

explanations: - potassium sulfide is and cobalt(ii) chloride is .

charge on k is +1, charge on s is -2, charge on co is +2 and charge on cl is -1.

in a double replacement reaction the ion exchange takes place. in general the reaction looks like:

if one of the product is insoluble as per solubility rules then a precipitate of it is formed.

when we mix the aqueous solutions of potassium sulfide and cobalt(ii) chloride then chloride ion goes with potassium ion and sulfide ion goes with cobalt ion and the balanced equation is written as:

k and cl has equal charges, similarly co and s has equal charges and hence no subscripts are used for the product side.

as per the solubility rules, cos is insoluble and so it's precipitate is formed.

looking at the given choices, first choice is correct.
