The maximum allowable concentration of pb2+ ions in drinking water is 0.05 ppm (i.e., 0.05 g of pb2+ in 1 million grams of water

). (a) what is the pb2+ concentration of an underground water supply at equilibrium with the mineral anglesite (pbso4) (ksp = 1.6 × 10−8) ?

PbSO₄ partially dissociates in water. the balanced equation is;
                    
                       PbSO₄(s) ⇄  Pb²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)
Initial                                     -                -
Change             -X               +X           +X
Equilibrium                           X              X

Ksp           =    [Pb²⁺(aq)] [SO₄²⁻(aq)]
1.6 x 10⁻⁸  =    X * X
1.6 x 10⁻⁸  =    X²
          X    =   1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M
      
Hence the Pb²⁺ concentration in underground water is 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M. 
[Pb²⁺]  = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M.
           = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ mol / L x 207 g / mol 
           = 26.91 ppm

The density of lead is 11.3g/cm^3 and the density of chromium is 7.14g/cm^3. If we have one gram of each metal, what is the rati
Lady bird [3.3K]

The ratio of the volume of lead to the volume of chromium is 22 : 35

Density is simply defined as the mass of a substance per unit volume of the substance.

<h3>Density = mass / volume </h3>

To solve the question given above, we'll begin by calculating the volume of lead and chromium. This can be obtained as follow:

<h3>For Lead:</h3>

Mass of lead = 1 g

Density of lead = 11.3 g/cm³

<h3>Volume of lead =? </h3>

Density = mass /volume

11.3 = 1 / Volume

Cross multiply

11.3 × Volume = 1

Divide both side by 11.3

Volume = 1 / 11.3

<h3>Volume of lead = 0.088 cm³</h3>

<h3>For Chromium:</h3>

Mass of chromium = 1 g

Density of chromium = 7.14 g/cm³

<h3>Volume of chromium =? </h3>

Density = mass /volume

7.14 = 1 / Volume

Cross multiply

7.14 × Volume = 1

Divide both side by 7.14

Volume = 1 / 7.14

<h3>Volume of chromium = 0.14 cm³</h3>

Finally, we shall determine the ratio of the volume of lead to the volume chromium. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of lead = 0.088 cm³

Volume of chromium = 0.14 cm³

<h3>Ratio of the volume of lead to chromium =? </h3>

Ratio = Volume of lead / Volume of chromium

Ratio = 0.088 / 0.14

Ratio = 22 / 35

<h3>Ratio = 22 : 35</h3>

Therefore, the ratio of the volume of lead to the volume chromium is 22 : 35
