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>

<em />

I hope it helps!

Consider a generic redox reaction?
vesna_86 [32]
The Nernst equation allows us to predict the cell potential for voltaic cells under conditions other than the standard conditions of 1M, 1 atm, 25°C. The effects of different temperatures and concentrations may be tracked in terms of the Gibbs energy change ΔG. This free energy change depends upon the temperature & concentrations according to   ΔG = ΔG°  +  RTInQ  where ΔG° is the free energy change under conditions and Q is the thermodynamic reaction quotient. The free energy change is related to the cell potential  Ecell by ΔG= nFEcell

so for non-standard conditions
              -nFEcell = -nFE°cell  + RT InQ

or
   
              Ecell  =  E°cell - RT/nF (InQ) 

which is called Nernst equation.

**PLATO QUESTION, PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY, THANKS SO MUCH**
OLga [1]
None of the questions asked can be answered completely from the graph provided (GHG emissions: Direct, indirect and total Vs Year)

Reason:
1) Question A:<span>What caused a drop in GHG emissions around 2009?. This questions in pointing towards reason for drop of GHG emission around 2009. From the graph, it can be seen that there is a drop in GHG emission around 2009. However, information for reason for this drop is not available in graph.
2) Question B: </span>Did GHG emissions cause the melting of Arctic glaciers?. As mentioned earlier, the graph plotted provides information of GHG emissions: Vs Year. Information related to impact of GHG on environment is not available in graph. 
3) Question C: <span>How much methane was emitted by homes between 1990 and 2000?. Graph provides information of direct and indirect emission for GHG. However, it lacks information about emission from residential or industrial sources. 
4) </span>Question D: <span>Does industrial equipment release gases other than greenhouse gases?: Present study doesnot cover type of gases emitted from industrial equipment.
5) </span>Question E: <span>Which types of industries were included in the study?: Present graph has not specific information related to industries. </span>

How are Kelvin scale and celcius scale similar <br>​
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The Kelvin scale is related to the Celsius scale. The difference between the freezing and boiling points of water is 100 degrees in each, so that the kelvin has the same magnitude as the degree Celsius.

Explanation:

Celsius is, or relates to, the Celsius temperature scale (previously known as the centigrade scale). The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as serve as a unit increment to indicate a temperature interval(a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty). “Celsius” is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who developed a similar temperature scale two years before his death.

K = °C + 273.15

°C = K − 273.15

Until 1954, 0 °C on the Celsius scale was defined as the melting point of ice and 100 °C was defined as the boiling point of water under a pressure of one standard atmosphere; this close equivalence is taught in schools today. However, the unit “degree Celsius” and the Celsius scale are currently, by international agreement, defined by two different points: absolute zero, and the triple point of specially prepared water. This definition also precisely relates the Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale, which is the SI base unit of temperature (symbol: K). Absolute zero—the temperature at which nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance—is defined as being precisely 0 K and −273.15 °C. The triple point of water is defined as being precisely 273.16 K and 0.01 °C.

A chemist wants to make 6.5 L of a .350M CaCl2 solution. What mass of CaCl2(in g) should the chemist use?
kotykmax [81]
First M stands for Molarity which is (moles of solute) / (Liters of solution). we also know that moles = (mass) / (molar mass). so we can form some equations here. We know:
Molarity (M) = moles (mol) / Liters (L)
moles (mol) = (mass) / (molar mass)

we can substitute the (mass) / (molar mass) for (moles) and get:
M = [(mass) / (molar mass)] / Liters

we can now isolate mass and get
M * Liters * molar mass = mass

now we need to find the molar mass of CaCl2 which is 110.98 g/mol

plug the values in and get
.350M * 6.5L * 110.98 g/mol = mass

mass = 252.4795g however the 6.5L has only 2 sig figs so i would say

mass CaCl2 = 2.5 * 10 ^2 g

99 POINTS!! Question: Tell what information each number or symbol in a chemical formula tells you. (Please be specific :)
taurus [48]

Answer: A subscript or superscript is a character that is set slightly below or above the normal line of type, respectively. It is usually smaller than the rest of the text. Subscripts appear at or below the baseline, while superscripts are above.

a coefficient is a constant term related to the properties of a product. In the equation that measures friction, for example, the number that always stays the same is the coefficient.

Parentheses are used in mathematical expressions to denote modifications to normal order of operations (precedence rules). In an expression like , the part of the expression within the parentheses, , is evaluated first, and then this result is used in the rest of the expression.

Chemical symbols are abbreviations used in chemistry for chemical elements, functional groups and chemical compounds. Element symbols for chemical elements normally consist of one or two letters from the Latin alphabet and are written with the first letter capitalized.

That there are no numbers present in the chemical formula means that there is one atom of each element present in the molecule. The Periodic Table reveals that Na is the symbol for sodium, and Cl is the symbol for chlorine.

Explanation:

Is this Good enough?
