Why is it important to form sparingly soluble salt in gravimetric analysis?

<span>All solids that dissociate into ions exhibit some limit to their solubilities, but those whose saturated solutions exceed about 0.01 mol L–1 cannot be treated by simple equilibrium constants owing to ion-pair formation that greatly complicates their behavior. For this reason, most of what follows in this lesson is limited to salts that fall into the "sparingly soluble" category.</span>

Draw the Lewis structure for the polyatomic formate anion. Be sure to include all resonance structures that satisfy the octet ru
givi [52]

Answer:

Lewis structure of polyatomic formate anion.

Explanation:

To draw Lewis structure for any chemical species,

1)Count the total number of valence electrons present in it.

This can be obtained by adding valence electrons of each constituent atom.

2)Arrange those valence electrons in such a way that each atom should attain eight electrons around it to satisfy octet theory.

The structure of formate ion and its Lewis structure are shown below:

HCOO- is the formate ion.

It has total:

1+4+6+6+1 = 18 valence electrons.

Since, hydrogen has one, carbon has four and oxygen has six valence electrons and the charge of the anion is one.

Arrange this 18 electrons in such a way that each atom should get 8 electrons around it.

Write the balanced chemical equations for the reaction of magnesium metal with oxygen gas, and for the reaction of magnesium met
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Magnesium element exists as single atoms. Free oxygen is always diatomic (two atoms bonded together) as O2. Nitrogen gas is also diatomic N2.

2Mg + O2 → MgO

Mg forms a +2 ion, O forms a -2 ion, so they combine and balance in a 1:1 ratio. MgO, magnesium oxide, is a solid. 
3Mg + N2→Mg3N2

Mg forms a +2 ion, but N forms a -3 ion. Hence the Mg3N2 configuration for magnesium nitride.

What is the density of a book with a mass of 60g and a volume of 20 cm3?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

2.5 g/cm3 .

Explanation:

Density is mass in grams over volume in cubic centimeters. So it is 25 g 10 cm 3 =2.5 g/cm 3 The unit is grams per cubic centimeter. NB - density can also be kilograms over cubic meters Hope this helps!

Calculate E ° for the half‑reaction, AgCl ( s ) + e − − ⇀ ↽ − Ag ( s ) + Cl − ( aq ) given that the solubility product constant
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: The value of E^{o} for the half-cell reaction is 0.222 V.

Explanation:

Equation for solubility equilibrium is as follows.

          AgCl(s) \rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)

Its solubility product will be as follows.

       K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]

Cell reaction for this equation is as follows.

     Ag(s)| AgCl(s)|Cl^{-}(0.1 M)|| Ag^{+}(1.0 M)| Ag(s)

Reduction half-reaction: Ag^{+} + 1e^{-} \rightarrow Ag(s),  E^{o}_{Ag^{+}/Ag} = 0.799 V

Oxidation half-reaction: Ag(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s) + 1e^{-},   E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag} = ?

Cell reaction: Ag^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s)

So, for this cell reaction the number of moles of electrons transferred are n = 1.

    Solubility product, K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]

                                               = 1.77 \times 10^{-10}

Therefore, according to the Nernst equation

           E_{cell} = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{0.0592 V}{n} log \frac{[AgCl]}{[Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]}

At equilibrium, E_{cell} = 0.00 V

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

         E_{cell} = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{0.0592 V}{n} log \frac{[AgCl]}{[Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]}

        0.00 = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{0.0592 V}{1} log \frac{1}{[Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]}    

       E^{o}_{cell} = \frac{0.0592}{1} log \frac{1}{K_{sp}}

                  = 0.0591 V \times log \frac{1}{1.77 \times 10^{-10}}

                  = 0.577 V

Hence, we will calculate the standard cell potential as follows.

           E^{o}_{cell} = E^{o}_{cathode} - E^{o}_{anode}

       0.577 V = E^{o}_{Ag^{+}/Ag} - E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag}

       0.577 V = 0.799 V - E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag}

       E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag} = 0.222 V

Thus, we can conclude that value of E^{o} for the half-cell reaction is 0.222 V.
