Answer:

See below explanation

Explanation:

When having a mixture of metals in solution, you may perform an analytical study (using selective chemical conditions), that may help you to determine whether a metal (cation) is present or not

Using selective analytes (or conditions), leads to consecutive precipitations, until most of the cations are separated in precipitates

With this technique, you may identify metals in different groups, each group will have its analyte (or condition), which will help to have a different precipitate:

- Group I: Ag⁺, Pb⁺², Hg⁺²;  Analyte: HCL ; Precipitate: AgCl (white) , PbCl₂, HgCl₂

- Group II: As⁺³ , Bi⁺³, Cd⁺², Cu⁺² , Sb⁺³, Sn⁺² ; Analyte: H₂S (g) with HCL ; Precipitate: As₂S₃ , Bi₂S₃ , CdS (yellow) , CuS (black), Sb₂S₃, SnS

- Group III: Co⁺², Fe⁺², Fe⁺³, Mn⁺², Ni⁺², Zn⁺², Al⁺³, Cr⁺³; Analyte: NaOH or NH₃ with (NH₄)₂S (ac) ; Precipitate: CoS (black) , FeS, MnS , NiS (black), ZnS (white) , Al(OH)₃ (white), Cr(OH)₃  

- Group IV: Mg⁺², Ca⁺², Sr⁺², Ba⁺²; Analyte: Na₂CO₃ (ac) or (NH₄)₂HPO₄ (ac); Precipitate: respective carbonate or phosphate MgCO₃/MgHPO₄, CaCO₃/CaHPO₄ , SrCO₃/SrHPO₄, BaCO₃/BaHPO₄

- Group V: Li⁺, K⁺, Na⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺, NH₄⁺ ; will remain all in final solution

According to the original statement:

A solution contains one or more of the following: Cu⁺², Al⁺³, K⁺, Ca⁺², Ba⁺², Pb⁺², NH₄⁺

1) Addition on HCl 6M produces no change: we can say the sample does not contain Pb⁺² (group I)

2) Addition of H₂S with 0.2 M HCL produced a black solid: we could say sample contains Cu⁺²(group II)

3) Addition of (NH₄)₂HPO₄ in NH₃ produces no reaction: we could say we don´t have Ca⁺² and /or Ba⁺²  (group IV)

4) The final supernatant, when heated produced a purple flame: in the final solution, we have K⁺ (group V), which produces a purple flame (based on its characteristic emission spectrum when subjected to flame)

This analysis will be inconclusive for NH₄⁺ (according to above describe technique)

The pH of a solution is 3.81. What is the OH concentration in the solution?​
disa [49]

Answer:

6.46 × 10⁻¹¹ M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

pH of the solution: 3.81

Step 2: Calculate the pOH of the solution

We will use the following expression.

pH + pOH = 14.00

pOH = 14.00 - pH = 14.00 - 3.81 = 10.19

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of OH⁻ ions

We will use the definition of pOH.

pOH = -log [OH⁻]

[OH⁻] = antilog -pOH = antilog -10.19 = 6.46 × 10⁻¹¹ M

Blood is red. Is this an intensive or extensive physical property?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: Intensive physical property

Explanation: Color is an intensive physical property since intensive properties are properties that stay the same no matter the amount of the substance is present. Blood is still red whether or not you have 2 liters of it or 4 liters.

Write the balanced COMPLETE ionic equation for the reaction when aqueous NiCl₂ and aqueous Na₂S are mixed in solution to form so
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The chemical reaction of the well-balanced equation is as follows:

\mathbf{2NiCl_{2(aq)}+2Na_2S_{(aq)} \to 4NaCl_{(aq)}+2NiS_{s}}

The aforementioned reaction's ionic equation is:

\mathbf{2Ni^{2+}_{(aq)}+4Cl^-_{(aq)}+ 4Na^+_{(aq)}+2S^{2-}_{(aq)} \to 4Na^+_{(aq)}+4Cl^-_{(aq)}+2NiS_{(s)}}

From above; Na⁺ and Cl⁻ appear on both sides;

Hence, the net ionic equation is:

\mathbf{2Ni^{2+}_{(aq)}+2S^{2-}_{(aq)} \to 2NiS_{(s)}}
