Typical "hard" water contains about 2.0 x 10–3 mol of Ca2+ per liter. Calculate the maximum concentration of fluoride ion that c

ould be present in hard water. Assume fluoride is the only anion present that will precipitate calcium ion.

Answer:

[F^-]_{max}=4x10{-3}\frac{molF^-}{L}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the described situation, we infer that calcium reacts with fluoride ions to yield insoluble calcium fluoride as shown below:

Ca^{+2}(aq)+2F^-(aq)\rightleftharpoons CaF_2(s)

Which is typically an equilibrium reaction, since calcium fluoride is able to come back to the ions. In such a way, since the maximum amount is computed via stoichiometry, we can see a 1:2 mole ratio between the ions, therefore, the required maximum amount of fluoride ions in the "hard" water (assuming no other ions) turns out:

[F^-]_{max}=2.0x10^{-3}\frac{molCa^{2+}}{L}*\frac{2molF^-}{1molCa^{2+}}  \\

[F^-]_{max}=4x10{-3}\frac{molF^-}{L}

Best regards.

Develop a demonstration to show how mass is not the same thing as weight
pychu [463]

This is more of a physics explanation, but here we go.

Mass is a measure of how much "matter" is in an object. Weight is the force applied onto an object by gravity. Weight itself can be related to mass like this:

f_g = mg

where g is a gravitational constant. For our purposes, it's defined by whatever planet you are on. Following this, we can demonstrate that mass is NOT the same thing as weight if we take two objects of the same mass and put them on different planets.

Let E refer to Earth and F refer to Mars

g_E = 9.81 m/s^2\\g_F = 3.711 m/s^2

Following this, we can see clearly that weight is not the same as mass:

m*9.81 : m*3.711 \\\int\limits^a_b {x} \, dx 9.81 \neq 3.711\\f_g E \neq f_g F\\

If weight was the same thing as mass, the two values would be the same, as the mass of the two objects is the same. But since weight is defined in the context of gravity, they are not.

Which structure could a scientist look for in a plant that would identify it as a club moss rather than a liverwort?
Marianna [84]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Phloem

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>Club moss</u> plant belongs to the  the family Lycopodiaceae, Lycophyte includes any spore-bearing vascular plant.
  • <u>Liverworts</u> on the other hand are bryophytes which belongs to the division bryophyta. Bryophytes are small, non-vascular plants which includes mosses, hornworts and liverworts.
  • <em><u>Vascular plants contain vascular tissues which play an important role of transportation in plants. </u></em>The major vascular tissues are phloem and xylem. <em><u>Non-vascular plants</u></em> on the other hand lacks the vascular tissues for transportation of substances.

Used to release stored energy during<br> respiration
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Hope this helps D.

Explanation:

During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Energy released during the reaction is captured by the energy-carrying molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
