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.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

0.414 mole (3 sig. figs.)

Explanation:

Given grams, moles = mass/formula weight

moles in 18.2g CO₂(g) = 18.2g/44g/mole = 0.413636364 mole (calc. ans.)

≅ 0.414 mole (3 sig. figs.)
