Answer:
the answer is descriptive
Explanation:
descriotive never ever have hypothisis
an atom because its the smallest thing in the entire world and in all orgnaisms
Explanation:
Ksp of NiCO3 = 1.4 x 10^-7
Ksp of CuCO3 = 2.5 x 10^-10
Ionic equations:
NiCO3 --> Ni2+ + CO3^2-
CuCO3 --> Cu2+ + CO3^2-
[Cu2+][CO3^2-]/[Ni2+][CO3^2-]
= (2.5* 10^-10)/(1.4* 10^-7)
= 0.00179.
[Cu2+]/[Ni2+]
= 0.00179
= 0.00179*[Ni2+]
If all of Cu2+ is precipitated before Na2CO3 is added.
= 0.00179 * (0.25)
The amount of Cu2+ not precipitated = 0.000448 M
The percent of Cu2+ precipitated before the NiCO3 precipitates = concentration of Cu2+ unprecipitated/initial concentration of Cu2+ * 100
= 0.000448/0.25 * 100
= 0.18%
Therefore, percentage precipitated = 100 - 0.18
= 99.8%
The two metal ions can be separated by slowly adding Na2CO3. Thus that is the unpptd Cu2+.
