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!

Kitty [74]
The number of energy levels to which an electron can jump depends on the amount of energy the electron possesses. Each energy level has a specific amount of energy an electron needs to have before it can be in there. So, if an electron doesn't have enough energy to be in that energy level then it won't jump to that higher level.

Which of the following statements about the carbon cycle is NOT true?
nalin [4]

Answer:

Plants consume carbon through transpiration

Explanation:

In transpiration, plants lose water vapor through the stomata in their leaves. No carbon is involved in transpiration, which has an outbound direction. Nothing can be consumed through the stomata when vapor is going out of the plant. It´s like trying to get in through the exit.
