This is the three cases that help to determine the minimum concentration of KOH required for precipitation 
Part a) 1.5×10^−2 M K CaCl2 
Part b) 2.3×10^−3 M Fe (NO3)2 
Part c) 2.0×10^−3 M MgBr2

a) CaCl2 + 2KOH --> Ca (OH) 2 + 2KCl Ca (OH) 2 <=> Ca^2+ + 2OH^- 
ksp = 1.5*10^-2 + x^2 
4.68*10^-6 = 1.5*10^-2 + x^2 
x= [KOH] = 0.01766 

b) Fe (NO3)2 +2 KOH--> Fe (OH)2 + 2KNO3 
Fe (OH)2 <=> Fe^2+ + 2OH^- 
ksp = 2.3*10^-3 + x^2 
4.87*10^-17 = 2.3*10^-3 + x^2 
x= 1.46*10^-7 

c) MgBr2 + KOH --> Mg (OH) 2 + 2KBr 
Mg (OH) 2 <=> Mg^2+ + 2OH^- 
ksp = 2.0*10^-3 + x^2 
2.06*10^-13 = 2.0*10^-3 + x^2 
x= 1.015*10^-5

Which process is an example of a chemical change?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

A is the closest thing. You change the composition of the steak. You don't in any of the others.

Explanation:

Usually when you cook something, you are doing something to the composition of the object being cooked. A steak might not be obvious, but boiling an egg should be.

Chopping a tree is something physical. You are removing mass in such a way that the tree will fall. There's nothing chemical about that.

Heating a cup of tea looks like it might be chemical. After all steam is sometimes given off which looks like it is chemical. It's not. The water in the tea is just changing phase.

Drying clothes in a dryer. Again, this looks like something might have changed. After all the mass of the clothes just became less. But all you are doing is separating two masses (leaving one of them behind).

How does the city filter our drinking water?
pantera1 [17]
Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids and gases from contaminated water. The goal is to produce water fit for a specific purpose. Most water is disinfected for human consumption (drinking water), but water purification may also be designed for a variety of other purposes, including fulfilling the requirements of medical, pharmacological, chemical and industrial applications. The methods used include physical processes such as filtration, sedimentation, and distillation; biological processes such as slow sand filters or biologically active carbon; chemical processes such as flocculation and chlorination  and the use of electromagnetic radiation such as ultra violet light.
