A water supply has been contaminated with an unknown mixture of toxic metal solutions leaking from a nearby factory. One way to

treat the problem is to precipitate the metals from the water. Environmental chemists are considering using sodium carbonate and sodium sulfate for this purpose. Based on the solubility table, which compound would you recommend?

Answer is: sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃).
<span>Sodium carbonate is better because carbonate anion with metal cations form more insoluble salts (according to table below, six insoluble salts - with magnesium, calcium, barium, silver, zinc and lead cations) and sulfate anion with metal cations form only two insoluble salts (barium sulfate and lead(II) sulfate).</span>

Consider the reaction of gaseous hydrogen with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous water. Given that the first picture represents
Bogdan [553]

The question is incomplete. There's missing the image, which is shown below.

Answer:

Volume of O₂ = 6 L, volume of mixture: 18 L, volume of H₂O = 12 L, molecule volume of H₂O = 0.667 molecule/L

Explanation:

The reaction between hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to form water is:

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

So, for 1 mol of O₂ is necessary 2 moles of H₂ form 2 moles of H₂O. As the images below there's 8 molecules of H₂, 4 molecules of O₂, 12 molecules in the mixture, and 8 molecules of H₂O. Thus, there are stoichiometric values.

All the images are at the same temperature and pressure, so, by the ideal gas law:

PV= nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature.

The number of moles and molecules are related, so let's substitute it in the equation. For the H₂:

P*12 = 8*RT

RT/P = 12/8 = 1.5

Thus, for O₂:

PV= nRT

V = n*(RT/P)

V = 4*1.5 = 6 L

For the mixture:

V = 12*1.5 = 18 L

For H₂O:

V = 8*1.5 = 12 L

The molecule volume is the number of molecules divided by the volume they occupy, thus for water: 8/12 = 0.667 molecules/L

Compare<br> Ion and Radical<br> Atom and molecule<br> Organic and inorganic compounds
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

'An ion has a non-zero electric charge. A radical has an atom with unfilled electron shells and so is very reactive, but is electrically neutral.'

'Atoms are single neutral particles. Molecules are neutral particles made of two or more atoms bonded together.'

'The primary difference that lies between these organic compounds and inorganic compounds is that organic compounds always have a carbon atom while most of the inorganic compounds do not contain the carbon atom in them.'

What can be said about the spontaneity of this reaction? cdiamond→cgraphite
anastassius [24]
The gibbs free energy of the reaction of diamond to graphite is equal to -2.90 kJ/mol. The free energy is negative which means that the reaction is spontaneous. Therefore, the forward reaction is favored. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Like all equilibrium constants, the value of Kw depends on temperature. At body temperature (37°C), Kw = 2.4 * 10-14. What are t
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

pH = 6.8124

Explanation:

We know pH decreases with increase in temperature.

At room temperature i.e. 25⁰c pH of pure water is equal to 7

We know

Kw = [H⁺][OH⁻]...............(1)

where Kw = water dissociation constant

At equilibrium [H⁺] = [OH⁻]

So at 37⁰c i.e body temperature Kw = 2.4 × 10⁻¹⁴

From equation (1)

[H⁺]² = 2.4 × 10⁻¹⁴

[H⁺] = √2.4 × 10⁻¹⁴

[H⁺] = 1.54 × 10⁻⁷

pH  = - log[H⁺]

      = - log{1.54 × 10⁻⁷}

      = 6.812

the formula of calcium oxide is CaO. What is the formula of the ionic compound containing calium abd sulfate ions
sineoko [7]

Answer:

CaS

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since calcium's oxidation state when forming ionic bonds is +2 and sulfur's oxidation state when bonding those bonds is -2, for the required formula we write:

Ca^{2+}S^{2-}

Now, since they have the same charge number, we infer the ionic compound formed when they bond is calcium sulfide:

CaS

Best regards!
