The maximum allowable concentration of Pb2+ ions in drinking water is 0.05 ppm (i.e., 0.05 g of Pb2+ in 1 million grams of water

). (a) What is the Pb2+ concentration of an underground water supply at equilibrium with the mineral cerussite (PbCO3) (Ksp = 3.3 × 10−14) ? × 10 g / LEnter your answer in scientific notation. (b) Does this concentration exceed the allowable concentration guideline? Yes No

Answer:

a. 0,049g of Pb²⁺ in 1 million grams of water.

b. No

Explanation:

The equilibrium of PbCO₃ in water is:

PbCO₃ ⇄ Pb²⁺ + CO₃²⁻

Where ksp is defined as:

ksp = [Pb²⁺] [CO₃²⁻] <em>(1)</em>

The initial concentration of PbCO₃ in molarity is:

\frac{10g}{1L}×\frac{1mol}{267,21g}= 0,0374M

a. The concentrations in equilibrium are:

[PbCO₃} = 0,0374M-x

[Pb²⁺] = x

[CO₃²⁻] = x

Replacing in (1)

3,3x10⁻¹⁴ = x²

x = 1,82x10⁻⁷M

Thus, [Pb²⁺] = 1,82x10⁻⁷M, this value in g of Pb²⁺ per million grams of water is:

1,82x10⁻⁷M×\frac{267,21g}{1mol}×\frac{1x10^6g}{1000g} = <em>0,049 g of Pb²⁺ in 1 million grams of water</em>

As this value is lower than the maximum allowable concentration of Pb²⁺, <em>the concentration doesn't exceed this maximum value</em>

I hope it helps!

Covalent bonds in a molecule absorb radiation in the IR region and vibrate at characteristic frequencies.
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Frequency=1.6\times 10^{12}\ Hz

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

c=frequency\times Wavelength&#10;

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Given, Wavelength = 188 μm

Also, 1 μm = 10^{-6} nm

So,  

Wavelength = 188\times 10^{-6} m

Thus, Frequency is:

Frequency=\frac{c}{Wavelength}

Frequency=\frac{3\times 10^8}{188\times 10^{-6}}\ Hz

Frequency=1.6\times 10^{12}\ Hz

Is a theory testable, yes or no?
Paraphin [41]
Yes because a theory is based on results and the results are part of the experiment and it being tested. You have to test the experiment and get results so yes a theory is testable.

Indicate whether the following are acidic, basic, or neutral solution
goldenfox [79]
You answer this by using the pH formula and and the relation of pH and pOH, pH = -log[H+] and 14 = pH + pOH. The correct classification are as follows:

<span>A. [H2O+]=6.0x10^-12
basic

B. [H3O+]=1.4x10^-9
basic

C. [OH-]=5.0x10^-12
acidic

D. {OH-]=3.5x10^-10
acidic

Hope this answers the question.

marusya05 [52]
1) Chemical reaction 1: 4Cu + O₂ →  2Cu₂O.
n(Cu) = 88,8 ÷ 63,55.
n(Cu) = 1,4.
n(O) = 11,2 ÷ 16.
n(O) = 0,7.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1,4 : 0,7.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 2 : 1.
Compound is Cu₂O.
2) Chemical reaction 2: 2Cu + O₂ →  2CuO.
n(Cu) = 79,9 ÷ 63,55.
n(Cu) = 1,257.
n(O) = 20,1 ÷ 16.
n(O) = 1,257.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1,257 : 1,257.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1 : 1.
Compound is CuO.
