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 free energy change for the following reaction at 25 °C, when [Cr3+] = 1.32×10-3 M and [Fe3+] = 1.14 M, is 131 kJ: Cr3+(1.32×
larisa [96]

Answer:

E°cell = - 1.3575 V

This reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction

Explanation:

The given cell reaction:

Cr³⁺(1.32 × 10⁻³ M) + Fe²⁺(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + Fe³⁺(1.14 M)

The given Gibbs free energy: ΔG = 131 kJ = 131 × 10³ J     (∵ 1 kJ = 10³ J)

As we know,

ΔG = - n F E°cell

Here, n - the number of moles of electrons transferred = 1

F - Faraday constant = 96500

E°cell - cell potential = ?

\therefore E^{\circ }_{cell} = -\frac{\Delta G}{n \: F} = -\frac{131\times 10^{3}\, J}{1\, mol\times96500 \, C.mol^{-1}}

\Rightarrow E^{\circ }_{cell} = -1.3575\, V

<u>For a given chemical reaction if-</u>

1. ΔG = negative and E°cell = positive

⇒ <em>The reaction is spontaneous and proceeds spontaneously in the forward direction.</em>

2.  ΔG = positive and E°cell = negative

⇒ <em>The reaction is non-spontaneous and proceeds spontaneously in the reverse direction.</em>

<u>Since, for this chemical reaction: </u>

Cr³⁺(1.32 × 10⁻³ M) + Fe²⁺(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + Fe³⁺(1.14 M)

ΔG = + 131 × 10³ J ⇒ positive

and, E°cell = - 1.3575 V ⇒ negative

<u>Therefore, this reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction.</u>

Where are the noble gases on the periodic table and what characteristics do they have?
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>the noble gases are those who occupy the eighth group of the periodic table and are so called because having the complete valence shell do not need to form bonds with other atoms and are thus in atomic form ...
</span>
The noble gases (also called rare gases) are of the inert gases that constitute the eighteenth [1] group of the periodic table of the elements, ie, the right-most column. They consist of atoms with electron shells full. It includes the following elements: helium neon argon krypton xenon radon Ununoctium <span>Sometimes they (particularly helium) are located together with other gases (mostly nitrogen and methane) into endogenous sources; helium of endogenous origin comes from the decomposition of radioactive elements present in the subsurface that emit α particles (ie ions He2 +): These oxidized species present in the soil and become elio.I atoms of the noble gases are all monatomic gas, not easily liquefiable, present the atmosphere in different percentages; the most common is argon which is approximately the 0.932%.</span>

How many kilojoules are released when 116 g of Cl2 reacts with silicon? Si(s)+2Cl2(g)→SiCl4(g)ΔH=−657kJ
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:-  537 kJ of heat is released.

Solution:- For the given equation, \Delta H is -657 kJ and the coefficient of Cl_2 in the balanced equation is 2. It means 657 kJ of heat is released when 2 moles of chlorine are used. We need to calculate the heat released when 116 g of Cl_2 are used.

Grams of chlorine are converted to moles and then multiplied by the \Delta H value and divided by the coefficient of chlorine and the set could be shown using dimensional analysis as:

116gCl_2(\frac{1mol}{70.9g})(\frac{657kJ}{2mol})

= 537.46 kJ

If we use the correct sig figs then it needs to be round off to three sig figs as the given grams of chlorine has only three sig figs. So, 537 kJ of heat is released.

The buffer solution is used to control the pH to insure that it does not become too high because excessively basic solutions cou
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

pH = 12.7

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the [Ca²⁺] in a solution of about 250 ppm CaCO₃.

\frac{250mgCaCO_{3}}{L} .\frac{1gCaCO_{3}}{1000mgCaCO_{3}} .\frac{1molCa^{2+} }{100gCaCO_{3}} =2.5 \times 10^{-3} M

Now, let's consider the dissolution of Ca(OH)₂ in water.

Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

The solubility product Ksp is:

Ksp = [Ca²⁺] × [OH⁻]²

[OH⁻] = √(Ksp/[Ca²⁺]) = √(6.5 × 10⁻⁶/2.5 × 10⁻³) = 5.1 × 10⁻² M

Finally, we can calculate pOH and pH.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log (5.1 × 10⁻²) = 1.3

pH + pOH = 14 ⇒ pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1.3 = 12.7
