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>

Name 2 separate problems that occur when a sample for infrared analysis is contaminated with water.
Andreyy89

Explanation:

  • The water molecules gets trapped in the crystal structure to be analysed and will give a peak in the spectra at about 3500 /cm , and there by hindering with the IR spectra of the sample to be analysed .
  • The second problem with the contamination of the sample with water is , that water makes the potassium bromide disc opaque which will decrease the absorption of the IR by the sample .

A location along stream where most erosions occur
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

At a stream's headwaters, often high in the mountains, gradients are steep. The stream moves fast and does lots of work eroding the stream bed.As a stream moves into lower areas, the gradient is not as steep. Now the stream does more work eroding the edges of its banks.

How is a nuclear weapon engineered?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:The first task of a nuclear weapon design is to rapidly assemble a supercritical mass of fissile uranium or plutonium. A supercritical mass is one in which the percentage of fission-produced neutrons captured by another fissile nucleus is large enough that each fission event, on average, causes more than one additional fission event. Once the critical mass is assembled, at maximum density, a burst of neutrons is supplied to start as many chain reactions as possible. Early weapons used a modulated neutron generator codenamed "Urchin" inside the pit containing polonium-210 and beryllium separated by a thin barrier. Implosion of the pit crushed the neutron generator, mixing the two metals, thereby allowing alpha particles from the polonium to interact with beryllium to produce free neutrons. In modern weapons, the neutron generator is a high-voltage vacuum tube containing a particle accelerator which bombards a deuterium/tritium-metal hydride target with deuterium and tritium ions. The resulting small-scale fusion produces neutrons at a protected location outside the physics package, from which they penetrate the pit. This method allows better control of the timing of chain reaction initiation.
