Answer:

The mass of calcium sulfate that will precipitate is 6.14 grams

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

500.0 mL of 0.10 M Ca^2+ is mixed with 500.0 mL of 0.10 M SO4^2−

Ksp for CaSO4 is 2.40*10^−5

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate moles of Ca^2+

Moles of Ca^2+ = Molarity Ca^2+ * volume

Moles of Ca^2+ = 0.10 * 0.500 L

Moles Ca^2+ = 0.05 moles

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate moles of SO4^2-

Moles of SO4^2- = 0.10 * 0.500 L

Moles SO4^2- = 0.05 moles

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculate total volume

500.0 mL + 500.0 mL = 1000 mL = 1L

<u>Step 5: </u> Calculate Q

Q = [Ca2+] [SO42-]  

[Ca2+]= 0.050 M   [O42-]

Qsp = (0.050)(0.050 )=0.0025 >> Ksp

This means precipitation will occur

<u> Step 6:</u> Calculate molar solubility

Ksp = 2.40 * 10^-5 = [Ca2+][SO42-] =(x)(x)

2.40 * 10^-5 = x²

x = √(2.40 * 10^-5)

x = 0.0049 M = Molar solubility

<u> Step 7:</u> Calculate total CaSO4 dissolved

total CaSO4 dissolved = 0.0049 M * 1 L * 136.14 mol/L = 0.667 g

<u>Step 8:</u> Calculate initial mass of CaSO4

Since initial moles CaSo4 = 0.050

Initial mass of CaSO4 = 0.050 * 136.14 g/mol

Initial mass of CaSO4 = 6.807 grams

<u>Step 9:</u> Calculate mass precipitate

6.807 - 0.667 = 6.14 grams

The mass of calcium sulfate that will precipitate is 6.14 grams

What is 30-9x2*2-21-4+4
IgorC [24]
Answer:
9 (1-2x²)

Explanation:
The given expression is:
30 - 9x²*2 - 21 - 4 + 4
The first step is to compute the multiplication. This will give:
30 - 18x² - 21 - 4 + 4
Then, we will add like terms as follows:
(30-21-4+4) - 18x²
= 9 - 18x²
Finally, we can take the 9 as a common factor from both terms, this will give:
9 (1-2x²)

Hope this helps :)
