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

What is the kinetic molecular model?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The kinetic theory of gases describes a gas as a large number of submicroscopic particles, all of which are in constant, rapid, random motion. The randomness arises from the particles' many collisions with each other and with the walls of the container

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer : FCH_{2}CH_{2}F

Explanation : In the molecule of FCH_{2}CH_{2}F  the hydrogen bonding forces tend to resist any phase transition form liquid state to gaseous phase, and these hydrogen bonding forces are greater  usually when the hydrogen is bound to an electronegative atom like chlorine, fluorine,oxygen,etc. This then lowers the viscosity of the compound.

Acid base reaction is called nuetralization reaction why?​
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

You have an acid that is acidic or a base that is basic. When you mix the two, they form water (assuming those are bronsted-lowry acids and bases) which is neutral.
