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>

slega [8]

Answer:

              Dehydration Reaction

Explanation:

                  Alcohols can be converted into Alkenes using catalytic amounts of acids as a catalysts.

                 The water molecule is removed hence, it is called as dehydration reaction.

                  The reaction is attached.

Calculate the mass of nitrogen dissolved at room temperature in an 95.0 LL home aquarium. Assume a total pressure of 1.0 atmatm
harina [27]

Answer:

86.3 g  of N₂ are in the room

Explanation:

First of all we need the pressure from the N₂ in order to apply the Ideal Gases Law and determine, the moles of gas that are contained in the room.

We apply the mole fraction:

Mole fraction N₂ = N₂ pressure / Total pressure

0.78 . 1 atm = 0.78 atm → N₂ pressure

Room temperature → 20°C → 20°C + 273 = 293K

Let's replace data: 0.78 atm . 95L = n . 0.082 . 293K

(0.78 atm . 95L) /0.082 . 293K = n

3.08 moles = n

Let's convert the moles to mass → 3.08 mol . 28g /1mol = 86.3 g
