Answer: The correct option is b. Calcium

Explanation: Ocean water consists of a large amount of Chloride (Cl^-), Sulfate (SO_4^{2-}), Magnesium (Mg^{2+}), Sodium (Na^+), Calcium (Ca^{2+}) and Potassium (K^+) ions.

The coral animals absorb calcium element from the ocean to form their skeleton. Then, the calcium ions combine with carbon and oxygen to form calcite.

Hence, the correct option is b.

F 2.50 × 10−2 g of solid Fe(NO3)3 is added to 100. ML of a 1.0 × 10−4 M NaOH solution, will a precipitate form? (ksp=4 × 10−38 f
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

A precipitate will be formed

Explanation:

The Ksp equilibrium of Fe(OH)₃ is:

Fe(OH)₃ (s) ⇄ Fe³⁺(aq)+ 3OH⁻(aq)

And its expression is:

Ksp = 4x10⁻³⁸ = [Fe³⁺] [OH⁻]³

<em>Where the concentrations are concentrations in molarity in equilibrium,</em>

We can write Q as:

Q = [Fe³⁺] [OH⁻]³

<em>Where [] are actual concentrations in molarity of each specie.</em>

<em />

When Q>= Ksp; a precipitate is formed,

When Q< Ksp no precipitate is produced:

[OH⁻] = [NaOH] = 1.0x10⁻⁴M

[Fe²⁺] = 2.50x10⁻²g * (1mol / 179.85g) / 0.100L = 1.39x10⁻³M

<em>179.85g/mol is molar mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ and the volume of the solution is 0.100L = 100mL</em>

<em />

Q = [Fe³⁺] [OH⁻]³

Q = [ 1.39x10⁻³] [ 1.0x10⁻⁴]³

Q = 3.8x10⁻¹⁵

As Q >> Ksp; A precipitate will be formed

1. What is the maximum amount of NaCl that can dissolve in
Sergio [31]

Answer:

70g

Explanation:

Rate = 35g of NaCl can dissolve in 100g of H2O

Use proportions for 200g of H2O:

\frac{35}{100} = \frac{x}{200}

Since 200 is double of 100, x needs to be double of 35.

\frac{35}{100} = \frac{70}{200}

Therefore the maximum amount of NaCl that can dissolve in 200g of water is 70g.
