A student who is performing this experiment pours an 8.50 mL sample of the saturated borax solution into a 10 mL graduated cylin

der after the borax solution had cooled to a certain temperature T. The student rinses the sample into a small beaker using distilled water, and then titrates the solution with a 0.500 M HCl solution. 12.00 mL of the HCl solution is needed to reach the endpoint of the titration.
Calculate the value of Ksp for borax at temperature T.

Answer:

ksp = 0,176

Explanation:

The borax (Na₂borate) in water is in equilibrium, thus:

Na₂borate(s) ⇄ borate²⁻(aq) + 2Na⁺(aq)

<em>When you add just borax, the moles of Na²⁺ are twice the moles of borate²⁻, that means 2borate²⁻=Na⁺ </em><em>(1)</em>

The ksp is defined as:

<em>ksp = [borate²⁻] [Na⁺]²</em>

Then, borate²⁻(B₄O₇²⁻) reacts with HCl thus:

B₄O₇²⁻ + 2HCl + 5H₂O → 4H₃BO₃ + 2Cl⁻

The moles of HCl that reacts with B₄O₇²⁻ are:

0,500M×0,01200L = 6,00x10⁻³ mol of HCl

As two moles of HCl react with 1 mol of B₄O₇²⁻, the moles of B₄O₇²⁻ are:

6,00x10⁻³ mol of HCl×\frac{1molB_{4}O_{7}^{2-}}{2molHCl} = <em>3,00x10⁻³ mol of B₄O₇²⁻</em>

For (1), moles of Na⁺ are <em>3,00x10⁻³ mol ×2 = 6,00x10⁻³ mol of Na⁺</em>

The [borate²⁻] is <em>3,00x10⁻³ mol of B₄O₇²⁻/0,00850L = </em><em>0,353M</em>

And [Na⁺] is <em>6,00x10⁻³ mol of Na⁺ / 0,00850L = </em>0,706M

Replacing in the expression of ksp:

ksp = [0,353] [0,706]²

<em>ksp = 0,176</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Zolol [24]

Answer:

C. representative elements.

Explanation:

Families 1 - 2 and 13 - 18 are called representative elements or often times, main group elements.

  • Elements on the periodic table belongs to four blocks which are s, p, d and f blocks.
  • Those in the s and p-blocks are the main group elements also called representative elements.
  • Their outer-shell are not completely filled with electrons but their inner shell is completely filled.
