Zeolite A, [(AlO₂)₁₂(SiO₂)₁₂] .27 H₂O, is used to soften water by replacing Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ with Na⁺. Hard water from a certain so

urce is 4.5 × 10⁻³MCa²⁺ and 9.2 × 10⁻⁴MMg²⁺, and a pipe delivers 25,000 L of this hard water per day. What mass (in kg) of zeolite A is needed to soften a week’s supply of the water? (Assume zeolite A loses its capacity to exchange ions when 85 mol % of its Na1 has been lost.)

47.43 kg of Zeolite A is needed to soften a week's supply of the water.

<h3>What is Zeolites ?</h3>

Zeolites are 3-dimensional crystalline solids which are formed either synthesized or can be naturally. Zeolites belongs to class microporous solids. 

Given

Hard water supply per day = 25,000L

Ca⁺² concentration = 0.0045 mol/L

Total mole of Ca⁺² = 25,000 × 0.0045

                               = 112.5 mol

Mass of Ca⁺² in hard water = Mole × Molar mass

                                             = 112.5 × 40.08 g

                                             = 4509 g

Concentration of Mg⁺² = 0.00092 mol/L

Total mole of Mg⁺² = 0.00092 × 25000

                                = 23 

Mass of Mg⁺² in Hard water = Mole × Molar mass

                                               = 23 g × 18.04

                                                = 414.92 g 

Molar mass of Zeolite = 2190g/mol

No of mole of Ca⁺² removed by 1 mole of Zeolite A = 6

Mass of Ca⁺² removed by 2190 g of Zeolite A = 240.48g

Mass of Zeolite A required to remove 4509 g of Ca⁺² = 33.73kg

Assume efficiency of Zeolite is 85%

To remove Ca⁺² the mass of Zeolite A = 39.68kg

No of mole of Mg⁺² removed by 1 mole of Zeolite A = 6

Mass of Mg⁺² removed by 2190g of Zeolite A = 145.86g

To remove 414.92 g of Mg⁺² the mass of Zeolite = 6.59kg

Assume the 85% as the efficient of Zeolite A

Mass of Zeolite A required to remove Mg⁺² = 7.75kg

Total mass of Zeolite A = 39.68kg + 7.75kg

                                       = 47.43kg

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that 47.43 kg of Zeolite A is needed to soften a week's supply of the water.

A 20.0-milliliter sample of HCl(aq) is completely neutralized by 32.0 milliliters of 0.50 M KOH(aq).
salantis [7]
You can use the formula M1 x V1 = M2 x V2 where M1 is the molarity of the first substance and V1 is the volume of the substance. M2 is the molarity of the 2nd substance and V2 is the volume of the substance

if substance 1 is HCl and 2 is KOH we can set up the following equation

x moles / liter (unknown) x .02 liters = .5 moles/ liter x .032 liters

x moles / liter x .02 liters = .016 moles

x moles / liter = .016/.02 liters

x moles / liter = .8 moles/ liter
 
You have . 8M HCL
