The answer would be: <span> vinegar (acetic acid).

To dissolve deposit that calcified, you need to dissolve the calcium. Calcium is one of the metal that makes base pH. It will react with acid compound and produce a molecule of water. Ammonia, bleach, lye </span><span>, and baking soda are all base and won't react with the </span><span>calcium carbonate. Vinegar is acid and will react to it.

Hello!

Vinegar would be most effective in dissolving the deposits of Hard Water.

Vinegar (CH₃COOH) is a weak acid, while Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃), being the salt of a weak acid, will be a weak base. These two compounds will react together in the following way:

2CH₃COOH + CaCO₃ → (CH₃COO)₂Ca + H₂CO₃

H₂CO₃ reacts further to yield Water and CO₂

H₂CO₃ → H₂O + CO₂(g)

So, vinegar would be effective at dissolving CaCO₃, and we should see bubbles as a proof that a reaction has occurred.

Have a nice day!

Suppose of copper(II) acetate is dissolved in of a aqueous solution of sodium chromate. Calculate the final molarity of acetate
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.0714 M for the given variables

Explanation:

The question is missing some data, but one of the original questions regarding this problem provides the following data:

Mass of copper(II) acetate: m_{(AcO)_2Cu} = 0.972 g

Volume of the sodium chromate solution: V_{Na_2CrO_4} = 150.0 mL

Molarity of the sodium chromate solution: c_{Na_2CrO_4} = 0.0400 M

Now, when copper(II) acetate reacts with sodium chromate, an insoluble copper(II) chromate is formed:

(CH_3COO)_2Cu (aq) + Na_2CrO_4 (aq)\rightarrow 2 CH_3COONa (aq) + CuCrO_4 (s)

Find moles of each reactant. or copper(II) acetate, divide its mass by the molar mass:

n_{(AcO)_2Cu} = \frac{0.972 g}{181.63 g/mol} = 0.0053515 mol

Moles of the sodium chromate solution would be found by multiplying its volume by molarity:

n_{Na_2CrO_4} = 0.0400 M\cdot 0.1500 L = 0.00600 mol

Find the limiting reactant. Notice that stoichiometry of this reaction is 1 : 1, so we can compare moles directly. Moles of copper(II) acetate are lower than moles of sodium chromate, so copper(II) acetate is our limiting reactant.

Write the net ionic equation for this reaction:

Cu^{2+} (aq) + CrO_4^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow CuCrO_4 (s)

Notice that acetate is the ion spectator. This means it doesn't react, its moles throughout reaction stay the same. We started with:

n_{(AcO)_2Cu} = 0.0053515 mol

According to stoichiometry, 1 unit of copper(II) acetate has 2 units of acetate, so moles of acetate are equal to:

n_{AcO^-} = 2\cdot 0.0053515 mol = 0.010703 mol

The total volume of this solution doesn't change, so dividing moles of acetate by this volume will yield the molarity of acetate:

c_{AcO^-} = \frac{0.010703 mol}{0.1500 L} = 0.0714 M
