The molar mass of Sb2S3 is approximately equal to 339.7 g/mol. We calculate the number of moles of Sb2S3 by dividing the given mass by the molar mass.
n = 23.5 g / (339.7 g/mol)
n = 0.0692 mols
To calculate for the number of formula units, we multiply the number of mols by the Avogadro's number,
number of formula units = (0.0692 mols)(6.022 x 10^3)
= 4.167 x 10^22 formula units
The answer is B.
You can rule C out because divergent means moving away. Rule out A because there is an oceanic and continental plate, not 2 of the same type. Rule D out for the same reason.
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
Sodium sulfate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.0500 M
and 0.0390 M
. What will be the concentration of
(aq) when
begins to precipitate? What percentage of the
can be separated from the Ag(aq) by selective precipitation?
Explanation:
The given reaction is as follows.

= 0.0390 M
When
precipitates then expression for
will be as follows.
![K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}]^{2}[SO^{2-}_{4}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Bsp%7D%20%3D%20%5BAg%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%5E%7B2%7D%5BSO%5E%7B2-%7D_%7B4%7D%5D)
![1.20 \times 10^{-5} = (0.0390)^{2} \times [SO^{2-}_{4}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1.20%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7D%20%3D%20%280.0390%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%5Ctimes%20%5BSO%5E%7B2-%7D_%7B4%7D%5D)
= 0.00788 M
Now, equation for dissociation of calcium sulfate is as follows.

![K_{sp} = [Ca^{2+}][SO^{2-}_{4}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Bsp%7D%20%3D%20%5BCa%5E%7B2%2B%7D%5D%5BSO%5E%7B2-%7D_%7B4%7D%5D)
![4.93 \times 10^{-5} = [Ca^{2+}] \times 0.00788](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4.93%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7D%20%3D%20%5BCa%5E%7B2%2B%7D%5D%20%5Ctimes%200.00788)
= 0.00625 M
Now, we will calculate the percentage of
remaining in the solution as follows.

= 12.5%
And, the percentage of
that can be separated is as follows.
100 - 12.5
= 87.5%
Thus, we can conclude that 87.5% will be the concentration of
when
begins to precipitate.
