Answer:
grams of sodium phosphate must be added to 1.4 L of this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ions
Explanation:
We will first write the balanced equation for this scenario
3 CaCl2 + 2 Na3PO4 ----> 6 NaCl + Ca3 (PO4)2
3 Mg(NO3)2 + 2 Na3PO4 -----> 6 NaNO3 + Mg3 (PO4)2
The ratio here for both calcium chloride and magnesium nitrate is 
The number of moles of each compound is equal to
Using the mole ratio of 3:2, convert each to moles of sodium phosphate.
mole of CaCl2 is equal to
Na3PO4
mole of CaCl2 is equal to
Na3PO4
Converting moles of sodium phosphate to grams of sodium phosphate we get
g/mol
grams of sodium phosphate must be added to 1.4 L of this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ions
What happens is that the sodium solution when put in water reacts and creates thermal energy .
Explanation:
Steps followed to practice laboratory safety during the experiment are as follows.
- Used tongs or a test tube holder to hold materials over the Bunsen burner flame.
- Wore gloves and goggles.
- Made careful observations of the products and reactants.
- Did not smell the gases produced.
When we heat a test tube over bunsen flame then the tube gets hot and when we hold it with bare hands then out hands will burn. Therefore, it is advised to hold test tube with the help of tongs or a holder so that our hands did not burn.
We should also wear gloves and goggles so that any acid would not spill directly on our hands, skin and eyes as it can affect or damage the skin severely.
Careful observations were made so that correct calculations about the experiment can be carried out.
It is also advised that we should not smell the gases produced but gases move freely from one place to another in a laboratory or any where else.
So, we can try to avoid it by covering our mouth with a cloth but we cannot stop it. If we keep on inhaling the gases produced in a laboratory then it can also lead to severe disease or defect in the human body.
