Consider a bathtub filled with water, with a plug in the drain. How long would this be considered a closed system?

2 answers:

For a closed system, you need two things:
1) a conservation of mass within the boundaries of the system
2) the ability to freely exchange energy to & from the "closed" system with a surrounding external system

So, the answer is <u><em>never</em></u>, since your defining the "system" as the water within the bathtub, and an open bathtub is exposed to evaporation, which is not conserving mass within the defined "system".

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Carbon has 4 valence electrons (electrons that are used in bonding), and therefore it can make 4 bonds which is the most one can (other than some exceptions, but in general it is the most). It wants to make 4 bonds so it can reach a full octet of 8 elections, hence the rule of 8.

What is the H+ concentration for an aqueous solution with pOH = 4.01 at 25 ∘C? Express your answer to two significant figures an

EleoNora [17]

I believe pH = -log[H+]

Also, 14 = pH + pOH

Therefore pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 4.01

pH = 9.99

9.99 = -log[H+]

Solve for H+
