Answer:

The Ksp for this compound is 3.24 * 10^-8

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given:

Molar solubility of MgCO3 = 1.8 * 10^-4 mol /L

Step 2: Calculate molarity

For an insoluble compound, its molar solubility tells you how many moles of the compound can be dissolved per liter of aqueous solution before reaching saturation.

In this case, it means that we can only dissolve 1.8 * 10^-4 moles in a liter of water at that temperature.

Moles Mg^2+ = 1.8 * 10^-4 moles

Moles CO3^2- = 1.8 * 10^-4 moles

Since we're working with one liter of solution, we can say the molarity:

[Mg^2+] = 1.8 * 10^-4 M

[CO3^2-] = 1.8 * 10^-4 M

Step 3: Calculate Ksp

Ksp = [Mg^2+]*[CO3^2-]

Ksp = 1.8 * 10^-4 * 1.8 * 10^-4

Ksp = 3.24 * 10^-8

The Ksp for this compound is 3.24 * 10^-8

Write the balanced reaction using the fewest whole number coefficients to describe the reaction between gaseous hydrogen and gas

Anastasy [175]

Answer: The percentage yield of water is 9.5 %

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of hydrogen = 14 moles

Moles of oxygen = 10 moles

The chemical equation for the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of hydrogen gas reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas

So, 14 moles of hydrogen gas will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 14=7mol$ of oxygen gas

As, given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent

Thus, hydrogen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of hydrogen gas produces 2 moles of water

So, 14 moles of hydrogen gas will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 14=7mol$ of water

To calculate the percentage yield of water, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of water = 1.33 moles

Theoretical yield of water = 14 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of water}=\frac{1.33mol}{14mol}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of water}=9.5\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the water is 9.5 %.

If you had excess chlorine, how many moles of of aluminum chloride could be produced from 19.0 g of aluminum?

SIZIF [17.4K]

The chemical reaction would be written as follows:

2Al + 3Cl2 = 2AlCl3

We are given the amount of aluminum to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of the calculations. We do as follows:

19.0 g Al ( 1 mol / 29.98 g ) ( 2 mol AlCl3 / 2 mol Al ) = 0.63 mol AlCl3

What caused wind to blow

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Different atmospheric pressure. When there is a different atmospheric pressure, air moves from the higher pressure to the lower pressure area which results in what you call WIND but can result in various speeds and pressure.

Hope this helped and if it did, please give my answer a brainliest.
