Ca(OH)2 (s) precipitates when a 1.0 g sample of CaC2(s) is added to 1.0 L of distilled water at room temperature. If a 0.064 g s

ample of CaC2 (s) (molar mass 64 g/mol) is used instead and all of it reacts, which of the following will occur and why?
(the value of Ksp for Ca(OH)2 is 8.0 x 10-8)

(A)Ca(OH)2 will precipitate because Q >K sp.

(B)Ca(OH)2will precipitate because Q
(C)Ca(OH)2 will not precipitate because Q >K sp .

(D)Ca(OH)2 will not precipitate because Q

Answer:

D) Ca(OH)₂ will not precipitate because Q <  Ksp

Explanation:

Here we have first a chemical reaction in which Ca(OH)₂  is produced:

CaC₂(s)  + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂

Ca(OH)₂  is slightly soluble, and depending on its concentration it may precipitate out of solution.

The solubility product  constant for Ca(OH)₂  is:

Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇆ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

Ksp = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

and the reaction quotient Q:

Q = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

So by comparing Q with Ksp we will be able to determine if a precipitate will form.

From the stoichiometry of the reaction we know the number of moles of hydroxide produced, and since the volume is 1 L the molarity will also be known.

mol Ca(OH)₂ = mol CaC₂( reacted = 0.064 g / 64 g/mol = 0.001 mol Ca(OH)₂

the concentration of ions will be:

[Ca²⁺ ] = 0.001 mol / L 0.001 M

[OH⁻] = 2 x 0.001 M  = 0.002 M  ( From the coefficient 2 in the equilibrium)

Now we can calculate the reaction quotient.

Q=  [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]² = 0.001 x (0.002)² = 4.0 x 10⁻⁹

Q < Ksp since 4.0 x 10⁻⁹ < 8.0 x 10⁻⁸

Therefore no precipitate will form.

The answer that matches is option D

Question 11. Identify the reducing agent <br> Sn+2 + AG 0 —&gt; Sn0 + Ag+
Temka [501]

Answer:

Ag 0 is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

Reducing -> gaining electrons

Oxidizing -> losing electrons

Ag lost electrons (became more positive) since it went from a 0 charge to a +1 charge. Therefore it was oxidized. Ag+ is the oxidized product. Reactants that create an oxidized product are called reducing agents. This would make Ag 0 the reducing agent in this reaction.

How do cells use lipids and carbohydrates?
Nata [24]

Answer:

Animals tend to use carbohydrates primarily for short-term energy storage, while lipids are used more for long-term energy storage. Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in animals while lipids are stored as fats (in plants carbohydrates are stored as cellulose and lipids as oils)

Explanation:

hope this helps!

4. Find the pH at each of the following points in the titration of 25 mL of 0.3 M HF with 0.3 M NaOH. The Ka value is 6.6x10-4 a
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

Since HF is a weak acid, the use of an ICE table is required to find the pH. The question gives us the concentration of the HF.

HF+H2O⇌H3O++F−HF+H2O⇌H3O++F−

Initial0.3 M-0 M0 MChange- X-+ X+XEquilibrium0.3 - X-X MX M

Writing the information from the ICE Table in Equation form yields

6.6×10−4=x20.3−x6.6×10−4=x20.3−x

Manipulating the equation to get everything on one side yields

0=x2+6.6×10−4x−1.98×10−40=x2+6.6×10−4x−1.98×10−4

Now this information is plugged into the quadratic formula to give

x=−6.6×10−4±(6.6×10−4)2−4(1)(−1.98×10−4)−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√2x=−6.6×10−4±(6.6×10−4)2−4(1)(−1.98×10−4)2

The quadratic formula yields that x=0.013745 and x=-0.014405

However we can rule out x=-0.014405 because there cannot be negative concentrations. Therefore to get the pH we plug the concentration of H3O+ into the equation pH=-log(0.013745) and get pH=1.86
