A chemistry student is given 600. mL of a clear aqueous solution at 37.° C. He is told an unknown amount of a certain compound X

is dissolved in the solution. The student allows the solution to cool to 21.° C. At that point, the student sees that a precipitate has formed. He pours off the remaining liquid solution, throws away the precipitate, and evaporates the water from the remaining liquid solution under vacuum. More precipitate forms. The student washes, dries and weighs the additional precipitate. It weighs 0.084 kg.Using only the information from above, can you calculate the solubility of X at 21.° C?If yes, calculate it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the right number of significant figures.

Answer:

  • <u>Yes, it is 14. g of compound X in 100 ml of solution.</u>

Explanation:

The relevant fact here is:

  • the whole amount of solute disolved at 21°C is the same amount of precipitate after washing and drying the remaining liquid solution: the amount of solute before cooling the solution to 21°C is not needed, since it is soluble at 37°C but not soluble at 21°C.

That means that the precipitate that was thrown away, before evaporating the remaining liquid solution under vacuum, does not count; you must only use the amount of solute that was dissolved after cooling the solution to 21°C.

Then, the amount of solute dissolved in the 600 ml solution at 21°C is the weighed precipitate: 0.084 kg = 84 g.

With that, the solubility can be calculated from the followiing proportion:

  • 84. g solute / 600 ml solution = y / 100 ml solution

      ⇒ y = 84. g solute × 100 ml solution / 600 ml solution = 14. g.

The correct number of significant figures is 2, since the mass 0.084 kg contains two significant figures.

<u>The answer is 14. g of solute per 100 ml of solution.</u>

Why is most of the Earth’s fresh water unavailable?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

2.5% of the earth's fresh water is unavailable: locked up in glaciers, polar ice caps, atmosphere, and soil; highly polluted; or lies too far under the earth's surface to be extracted at an affordable cost.

Equal molar quantities of Ca2 and EDTA (H4Y) are added to make a 0.010 M solution of CaY2- at pH 10. The formation constant for
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

the concentration of free Ca2⁺ in this solution is 7.559 × 10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Ca^{2+ + y^{4- ⇄  CaY^{2-

Formation constant Kf

Kf = CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][y^{4-] ) = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

Now,

[y^{4-] = \alpha _4CH_4Y; ∝₄ = 0.35

so the equilibrium is;

Ca^{2+ + H_4Y ⇄  CaY^{2- + 4H⁺

Given that; CH_4Y = Ca^{2+     { 1 mol Ca^{2+  reacts with 1 mol H_4Y  }

so at equilibrium, CH_4Y = Ca^{2+ = x

∴

Ca^{2+ + y^{4- ⇄  CaY^{2-

x        + x         0.010-x

since Kf is high, them x will be small so, 0.010-x is approximately 0.010

so;

Kf = CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][y^{4-] ) =  CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][\alpha _4CH_4Y] )  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][\alpha _4CH_4Y] )  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ 0.010 / ( [x][ 0.35 × x] )  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ 0.010 / 0.35x²  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ x² = 0.010 / ( 0.35 × 5.0 × 10¹⁰ )

⇒ x² = 0.010 / 1.75 × 10¹⁰

⇒ x² = 0.010 / 1.75 × 10¹⁰

⇒ x² = 5.7142857 × 10⁻¹³

⇒ x = √(5.7142857 × 10⁻¹³)

⇒ x = 7.559 × 10⁻⁷

Therefore, the concentration of free Ca2⁺ in this solution is 7.559 × 10⁻⁷

Briefly explain why adding salt to icy roads helps melt the ice and prevent it from freezing again.
g100num [7]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The melting point (the temperature that it changes from solid to liquid) of a pure substance depends on its mass, the forces between its molecules, and the pressure of the system.

The melting point, or the freezing point, of a mixture, is a temperature between the melting point of its components. Salt has a huge negative melting point, so when it is added to the water, the melting point decreases from 0ºC to -21ºC approximately.

So, the water will only freeze again if the temperature becomes below -21ºC which is very difficult to happen.
