The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Sodium sulfate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.0500 M Ca^{2+}(aq) and 0.0390 M Ag^{+}(aq). What will be the concentration of Ca^{2+}(aq) when Ag_{2}SO_{4}(s) begins to precipitate? What percentage of the Ca^{2+}(aq) can be separated from the Ag(aq) by selective precipitation?

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

      Ag_{2}SO_{4} \rightleftharpoons 2Ag^{+} + SO^{2-}_{4}

[Ag^{+}] = 0.0390 M

When Ag_{2}SO_{4} precipitates then expression for K_{sp} will be as follows.

         K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}]^{2}[SO^{2-}_{4}]

        1.20 \times 10^{-5} = (0.0390)^{2} \times [SO^{2-}_{4}]

       [SO^{2-}_{4}] = 0.00788 M

Now, equation for dissociation of calcium sulfate is as follows.

         CaSO_{4} \rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+} + SO^{2-}_{4}

      K_{sp} = [Ca^{2+}][SO^{2-}_{4}]

     4.93 \times 10^{-5} = [Ca^{2+}] \times 0.00788

           [Ca^{2+}] = 0.00625 M

Now, we will calculate the percentage of Ca^{2+} remaining in the solution as follows.

               \frac{0.00625}{0.05} \times 100

                 = 12.5%

And, the percentage of Ca^{2+} that can be separated is as follows.

                     100 - 12.5

                     = 87.5%

Thus, we can conclude that 87.5% will be the concentration of Ca^{2+}(aq) when Ag_{2}SO_{4}(s) begins to precipitate.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The time required to melt the frost is 3.25 hours.

Explanation:

The time required to melt the frost dependes on the latent heat of the frost and the amount of heat it is transfered by convection to the air .

The heat transferred per unit area can be expressed as:

q=h_c*A*\Delta T\\\\q/A=h_c*\Delta T

being hc the convective heat transfer coefficient (2 Wm^-2K^-1) and ΔT the difference of temperature (20-0=20 °C or K).

q/A=h_c*\Delta T=2\frac{W}{m^2K}*20K=40\frac{W}{m^2}

If we take 1 m^2 of ice, with 2 mm of thickness, we have this volume

V=T*A = 0.002 m * 1 m^2=0.002m^3

The mass of the frost can be estimated as

M=\rho * V=700\frac{kg}{m^3}*0.002m^3= 1.4 kg

Then,  the amount of heat needed to melt this surface (1 m²) of frost is

Q=L*M=334\frac{kJ}{kg}*1.4kg= 467.6kJ

The time needed to melt the frost can be calculated as

t=\frac{Q}{(q/A)}=\frac{467.6kJ/m2}{40W/m2} = 11.69\frac{kJ}{W}*\frac{1W*s}{1J}*\frac{1000J}{1kJ}=   11690s=3.25h

Explain why mixing of red paint with white paint does not constitute a chemical reaction even though the product has a different
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical change through chemical reactions, a new kind of matter forms. When a paint is mixed together, a physical change has occurred and not a chemical change. The different color one perceives is just a mere overlap between the reflected white and red color which produces another hue.

Not all color changes infers a chemical reaction. A paint is a complex mixture on its own.

mylen [45]

Roman numerals are used in naming ionic compounds when the metal cation forms more than one ion. The metals that form more than one ion are the transition metals, although not all of them do this.
