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!

Selenium (Se) has 30 protons and 20 neutrons in each atom, therefore its atomic
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

30, 50

Explanation:

Hello,

In this since an element's atomic number is equal to the number of protons in its atom, we can infer that selenium's atomic number is 30. Moreover, due to the fact the the neutrons are equal to the atomic mass minus the atomic number or the number of protons, by knowing the number of neutrons we compute the atomic as follows:

neutrons=mass-protons\\\\mass=neutrons+protons\\\\mass=30+20\\\\mass=50a.m.u

Thus, answer is 30, 50.

Best regards.
