I think the Ksp for Calcium Carbonate is around 5×10⁻⁹
(I don't know if this is the Ksp value that you use because I read somewhere that this value can vary.  You should probably check with your teacher with what Ksp value they want you to use)

the equation for the dissociation CaCO₃ in water is CaCO₃(s)⇄Ca²⁺(aq)+CO₃²⁻(aq) which means that the concentration of Ca²⁺ is equal to the concentration of CO₃²⁻ in solution.  For every molecule of CaCO₃ that dissolves, one atom of Ca²⁺ and one molecule of CO₃²⁻ is put into solution which is why the concentrations are equal in solution. 

Since Ksp=[Ca²⁺][CO₃²⁻] and we know that [Ca²⁺]=[CO₃²⁻] we can rewrite the equation as Ksp=x² since if you say that [Ca²⁺]=[CO₃²⁻] when you multiply them together you get the concentration squared (I am calling the concentration x for right now).

when solving for x:
5×10⁻⁹=x²
x=0.0000707
Therefore [Ca²⁺]=[CO₃²⁻]=0.0000707mol/L which also shows how much calcium carbonate is dissolved per liter of water since the amount of Ca²⁺ and CO₃²⁻ in solution came from the calcium in a 1 to 1 molar ratio as shown in the equation (the value we found for x is the molar solubility of calcium carbonate).

Using the fact that the molar mass of calcium carbonate is 100.09g/mol you can use dimensional analysis as fallows:
(0.0000707mol/L)(100.09g/mol)=0.007077g/L
That means that there is 0.007077g of Calcium carbonate that can precipitate out of 1L of water.

since the question is asking for how much water needs to be evaporated to precipitate 100mg (0.1g) of Calcium you have to do the fallowing calculation:
(0.1g)/(0.007077g/L)=14.13L of water.
14.13L of water needs to evaporate in order to precipitate out 100mg of calcium carbonate

These types of questions can get long and confusing so I bolded parts that were important to try to guide you through it more easily.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Given that a for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C. What is the value of b for BrO− at 25°C?
lara [203]

If Ka for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C, then the value of Kb for BrO− at 25°C is 3.5× 10^(-6).

<h3>What is base dissociation constant? </h3>

The base dissociation constant (Kb) is defined as the measurement of the ions which base can dissociate or dissolve in the aqueous solution. The greater the value of base dissociation constant greater will be its basicity an strength.

The dissociation reaction of hydrogen cyanide can be given as

HCN --- (H+) + (CN-)

Given,

The value of Ka for HCN is 2.8× 10^(-9)

The correlation between base dissociation constant and acid dissociation constant is

Kw = Ka × Kb

Kw = 10^(-14)

Substituting values of Ka and Kw,

Kb = 10^(-14) /{2.8×10^(-9) }

= 3.5× 10^(-6)

Thus, we find that if Ka for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C, then the value of Kb for BrO− at 25°C is 3.5× 10^(-6).

DISCLAIMER: The above question have mistake. The correct question is given as

Why both men and women could become victims of violence
ycow [4]
Because some people don't care if your a man or a woman they'll still try to harm you which is wrong cause i don't see why people have to kill each other but they do its out of bad habit and its also what they choose in life some people choose to be murders and some choose to go to work and have a family instead of being in jail for the rest of your life unless your sentenced to death. But some people don't understand a lot of things but i do well some but i do know this that when people kill someone they may feel bad but sometimes they don't they feel happy and wanna do it again so they run and try not to get caught. but life isn't fair but lets hope that the world will come around again if it ever does but its always gonna be on the news that someone is murdered.

If a decrease in temperature accompanies a reaction, what occurred?
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Energy was released

Explanation:

Decrease in temperature means less energy, but the energy had to have been transferred because energy can't be destroyed or created. So if the temp. went down, energy must have been lost. (If it had been absorbed, the temp. would have gone up)
