At a wastewater treatment plant, FeCl3(s) is added to remove excess phosphate from the effluent. Assume the following reactions

occur: FeCl3 ---> Fe3+ + 3Cl- FePO4 ---> Fe3+ + PO4 3␣ The equilibrium constant for the second reaction is Ksp 1⁄4. What concentration of Fe3+ is needed to maintain the phosphate concentration below the limit of 1 mg P/L?

Answer : The concentration of Fe^{3+} needed is, 2.37\times 10^4M

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mole of phosphate.

As we are given that, 1 mg P/L that means, 1 mg of phosphate present in 1 L of solution.

\text{Moles of phosphate}=\frac{\text{Mass of phosphate}}{\text{Molar mass of phosphate}}

Molar mass of phosphate = 94.97 g/mole

\text{Moles of phosphate}=\frac{1mg}{94.97g/mol}=\frac{0.001g}{94.97g/mol}=1.053\times 10^{-5}mol

Now we have to calculate the concentration of phosphate.

\text{Concentration of phosphate}=\frac{\text{Moles of phosphate}}{\text{Volume of solution}}

\text{Concentration of phosphate}=\frac{1.053\times 10^{-5}mol}{1L}=1.053\times 10^{-5}mol/L

Now we have to calculate the concentration of Fe^{3+}.

The second equilibrium reaction is,

FePO_4\rightleftharpoons Fe^{3+}+PO_4^{3-}

The solubility constant expression for this reaction is:

K_{sp}=[Fe^{3+}][PO_4^{3-}]

Given: K_{sp}=\frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{4}=[Fe^{3+}]\times 1.053\times 10^{-5}mol/L

[Fe^{3+}]=2.37\times 10^4M

Thus, the concentration of Fe^{3+} needed is, 2.37\times 10^4M

bulgar [2K]

V1/T1 = V2 / T2

V1 = 3/4(1700) = 1275

T1 = 10 + 273.15 = 283.15

V2 = 1700

T2 = V2T1

T2 = (1700) (283.15) / 1275

T2 = 377.53 K

Zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce zinc(II) chloride and hydrogen gas. How many liters of hydrogen gas will be
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

0.120 L of hydrogen gas will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of zinc = 10.0 grams

Volume of hydrochloric acid = 23.8 mL

Molarity of hydrochloric acid = 0.45 M

Molar mass of zinc =65.38 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Step 3: Calculate moles Zinc

Moles Zn = mass Zn / molar mass Zn

Moles Zn = 10.0 grams / 65.38 g/mol

Moles Zn  =  0.153 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles HCl

Moles HCl = molarity * volume

Moles HCl = 0.45 M * 0.0238 L

Moles HCl = 0.01071 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol Zn, we need 2 moles HCl to produce 1 mol ZnCl2 and 1 mol H2

HCl is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.01071 moles)

Zn is in excess. There will react 0.01071/2 = 0.005355 moles

There will remain 0.153 - 0.005355 = 0.147645 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles H2

For 1 mol Zn, we need 2 moles HCl to produce 1 mol ZnCl2 and 1 mol H2

For 0.01071 moles HCl we'll have 0.005355 moles H2

Step 7: Calculate volume H2

1 mol at STP = 22.4 L

0.005355 moles = 22.4 * 0.005355 = 0.120 L = 120 mL

0.120 L of hydrogen gas will be produced

at a certain pressure the density of superficial carbon dioxide is 0.469. what is the mass of a 25.0 mL sample of supercritical
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{11.7 g}}

Explanation:

\text{Mass} = \text{25.0 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{0.469 g}}{\text{1 mL}} = \textbf{11.7 g}\\\\\text{The mass of the carbon dioxide is $\large \boxed{\textbf{11.7 g}}$}
