Why do group 1 cations form precipitates when mixed with hcl?

1 answer:

8 0

Both of you are overlooking a pretty big component of the question...the Group I cation isn't being dissociated into water. We're testing the solubility of the cation when mixed with HCl. And this IS a legitimate question, seeing as our lab manual is the one asking.

<span>By the way, the answer you're looking for is "Because Group I cations have insoluble chlorides". </span>

<span>"In order...to distinguish cation Group I, one adds HCl to a sample. If a Group I cation is present in the sample, a precipitate will form." </span>

What is the osmotic pressure of a solution made from 22.3 g of methanol (MM = 32.04 g/mol) that was added to water to make 321 m

xxMikexx [17]

Answer: The osmotic pressure of a solution is 53.05 atm

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iMRT$

Or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = ?

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Mass of solute (methanol) = 22.3 g

Volume of solution = 321 mL

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273+25]=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\pi=1\times \frac{22.3\times 1000}{32.04\times 321}\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K$

$\pi=53.05atm$

Hence, the osmotic pressure of a solution is 53.05 atm

How many molecules of Carbon<br> Dioxide (CO2) are there in 2 CO2?

Dima020 [189]

There are 2 molecules of Carbon dioxide(CO2)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Molecules of CO2

Required

The number of molecules

Solution

The coefficient of a molecule shows the number of that molecule, while the subscript after the name of the atom indicates the number of that atom in the molecule

Because there is a coefficient of 2 in front of the CO2 molecule, then the number of CO2 molecules is 2
