If 500.0 mL of 0.10 M Ca2+ is mixed with 500.0 mL of 0.10 M SO42−, what mass of calcium sulfate will precipitate? Ksp for CaSO4

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The mass of calcium sulfate that will precipitate is 6.14 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

500.0 mL of 0.10 M Ca^2+ is mixed with 500.0 mL of 0.10 M SO4^2−

Ksp for CaSO4 is 2.40*10^−5

Step 2: Calculate moles of Ca^2+

Moles of Ca^2+ = Molarity Ca^2+ * volume

Moles of Ca^2+ = 0.10 * 0.500 L

Moles Ca^2+ = 0.05 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of SO4^2-

Moles of SO4^2- = 0.10 * 0.500 L

Moles SO4^2- = 0.05 moles

Step 4: Calculate total volume

500.0 mL + 500.0 mL = 1000 mL = 1L

Step 5: Calculate Q

Q = [Ca2+] [SO42-]

[Ca2+]= 0.050 M [O42-]

Qsp = (0.050)(0.050 )=0.0025 >> Ksp

This means precipitation will occur

Step 6: Calculate molar solubility

Ksp = 2.40 * 10^-5 = [Ca2+][SO42-] =(x)(x)

2.40 * 10^-5 = x²

x = √(2.40 * 10^-5)

x = 0.0049 M = Molar solubility

Step 7: Calculate total CaSO4 dissolved

total CaSO4 dissolved = 0.0049 M * 1 L * 136.14 mol/L = 0.667 g

Step 8: Calculate initial mass of CaSO4

Since initial moles CaSo4 = 0.050

Initial mass of CaSO4 = 0.050 * 136.14 g/mol

Initial mass of CaSO4 = 6.807 grams

Step 9: Calculate mass precipitate

6.807 - 0.667 = 6.14 grams

The mass of calcium sulfate that will precipitate is 6.14 grams

Which of these substances acts as a buffer? a. blood b. lemon juice c. curd

il63 [147K]

The correct answer is( A) blood.

when the buffer solution its PH value changes very little when a small amount

of strong acid or base is added to it, and here the bicarbonate buffering system is used to regular the PH of the blood that keeping the PH at nearly constant value by maintaining the original acidity or basicity of the solution.

How many electrons does hydrogen need to satisfy the octet rule?

quester [9]

Just 2 valence electrons.

Hydrogen already has one to start with, as well. With the exception of hydrogen and helium, all other atoms need 8 valence e-

The weathered debris in deserts consists mainly of

vampirchik [111]

Answer;

C. unchanged rock and mineral fragments

Explanation;

A large number of landforms and features found in desert environments are formed as the result of weathering. Weathering is defined as the breakdown and deposition of rocks by weather acting in situ

The two main types of weathering which occur in deserts are Mechanical weathering, which is the disintegration of a rock by mechanical forces that do not change the rock's chemical composition and Chemical weathering, which is the decomposition of a rock by the alteration of its chemical composition.

By contrast much of the weathered debris in deserts has resulted from mechanical weathering. Chemical weathering, however, is not completely absent in deserts. Over long time spans,clays and thin soils do form.
