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

Based on the electron configuration of the two atoms, predict the ratio of metal cationic (+) atom to nonmetal anionic (-) atom
Pepsi [2]

The metal cationic (+) atom to nonmetal anionic (-) atom ratio in the compound formed between Potassium and Chlorine is 1:1.

<h3>What is a compound?</h3>

A compound is made up of two or more atoms that are chemically combined together. In this case, we have the atoms; Potassium and Chlorine.

Draw a line-bond structure for CBrN. Explicitly draw all H atoms. You do not have to include lone pairs in your answer. In cases
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Br - C ≡ N

Explanation:

To draw the Lewis line-bond structure we need to bear in mind the octet rule, which states that in order to gain stability each <em>atom tends to share electrons until it has 8 electrons in its valence shell</em>.

  • C has 4 e⁻ in its valence shell so it will form 4 covalent bonds.
  • Br has 7 e⁻ in its valence shell so it will form 1 covalent bond.
  • N has 5 e⁻ in its valence shell so it will form 3 covalent bonds.

The most stable structure that respects these premises is:

Br - C ≡ N

It does not have any H atom.

100!!!POINTS PLZ HELP Explain (on the molecular level) what pumping a tire with air will do to
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.

The answer lies in the large separation of atoms and molecules in gases, compared to their sizes, as illustrated in Figure 2. Because atoms and molecules have large separations, forces between them can be ignored, except when they collide with each other during collisions. The motion of atoms and molecules (at temperatures well above the boiling temperature) is fast, such that the gas occupies all of the accessible volume and the expansion of gases is rapid. In contrast, in liquids and solids, atoms and molecules are closer together and are quite sensitive to the forces between them.
