Answer:

Here’s what I get.

Explanation:

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
The number of protons determines the number of electrons.
The number of electrons determines the chemical properties of the element,

Thus, the atomic number determines the identity of the element.

The atomic mass does not affect the chemical properties, so different isotopes of an element behave alike.

A solution contains 0.0440 M Ca2 and 0.0940 M Ag. If solid Na3PO4 is added to this mixture, which of the phosphate species would

Olenka [21]

Answer:

C. $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ will precipitate out first

the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ remaining = 12.86%

Explanation:

Given that:

A solution contains:

$[Ca^{2+}] = 0.0440 \ M$

$[Ag^+] = 0.0940 \ M$

From the list of options , Let find the dissociation of $Ag_3PO_4$

$Ag_3PO_4 \to Ag^{3+} + PO_4^{3-}$

where;

Solubility product constant Ksp of $Ag_3PO_4$ is $8.89 \times 10^{-17}$

Thus;

$Ksp = [Ag^+]^3[PO_4^{3-}]$

replacing the known values in order to determine the unknown ; we have :

$8.89 \times 10 ^{-17} = (0.0940)^3[PO_4^{3-}]$

$\dfrac{8.89 \times 10 ^{-17}}{(0.0940)^3} = [PO_4^{3-}]$

$[PO_4^{3-}] =\dfrac{8.89 \times 10 ^{-17}}{(0.0940)^3}$

$[PO_4^{3-}] =1.07 \times 10^{-13}$

The dissociation of $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

The solubility product constant of $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ is $2.07 \times 10^{-32}$

The dissociation of $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ is :

$Ca_3(PO_4)_2 \to 3Ca^{2+} + 2 PO_{4}^{3-}$

Thus;

$Ksp = [Ca^{2+}]^3 [PO_4^{3-}]^2$

$2.07 \times 10^{-33} = (0.0440)^3 [PO_4^{3-}]^2$

$\dfrac{2.07 \times 10^{-33} }{(0.0440)^3}= [PO_4^{3-}]^2$

$[PO_4^{3-}]^2 = \dfrac{2.07 \times 10^{-33} }{(0.0440)^3}$

$[PO_4^{3-}]^2 = 2.43 \times 10^{-29}$

$[PO_4^{3-}] = \sqrt{2.43 \times 10^{-29}$

$[PO_4^{3-}] =4.93 \times 10^{-15}$

Thus; the phosphate anion needed for precipitation is smaller i.e $4.93 \times 10^{-15}$ in $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ than in $Ag_3PO_4$ $1.07 \times 10^{-13}$

Therefore:

$Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ will precipitate out first

To determine the concentration of $[Ca^+]$ when the second cation starts to precipitate ; we have :

$Ksp = [Ca^{2+}]^3 [PO_4^{3-}]^2$

$2.07 \times 10^{-33} = [Ca^{2+}]^3 (1.07 \times 10^{-13})^2$

$[Ca^{2+}]^3 = \dfrac{2.07 \times 10^{-33} }{(1.07 \times 10^{-13})^2}$

$[Ca^{2+}]^3 =1.808 \times 10^{-7}$

$[Ca^{2+}] =\sqrt[3]{1.808 \times 10^{-7}}$

$[Ca^{2+}] =0.00566$

This implies that when the second cation starts to precipitate ; the concentration of $[Ca^{2+}]$ in the solution is 0.00566

Therefore;

the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ remaining = concentration remaining/initial concentration × 100%

the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ remaining = 0.00566/0.0440 × 100%

the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ remaining = 0.1286 × 100%

the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ remaining = 12.86%
