Answer:

3.2 × 10⁻⁸

Explanation:

Let's consider the solution of magnesium carbonate.

MgCO₃ ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

We can relate the molar solubility (S) with the solubility product (Ksp) using an ICE chart.

         MgCO₃ ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

I                             0                0

C                          +S              +S

E                            S                S

The Ksp is:

Ksp = [Mg²⁺] × [CO₃²⁻] = S × S = S² = (1.8 × 10⁻⁴)² = 3.2 × 10⁻⁸

Answer:

Ksp = 3.2 * 10^-8

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

magnesium carbonate = MgCO3

The molar solubility of magnesium carbonate = 1.8 * 10^-4 mol/L

Step 2: The balanced equation

MgCO3(s) ⇔ Mg^2+ + CO3^2-

For 1 mol MgCO3 we'll have 1 mol Mg^2+ and 1 mol CO3^2-

Step 3: Calculate Ksp for this compound

Ksp = [Mg^2+][Co3^2-]

For 1 mol MgCO3 we'll have 1 mol Mg^2+ and 1 mol CO3^2-

Ksp = X * X = X²

X = 1.8 * 10^-4

Ksp = (1.8 *10^-4 )* (1.8 * 10^-4)

Ksp = 3.2 * 10^-8

Which of the following concerning solutions is/are correct? 1. The solvent in a mixture of gases is generally considered to be t
pshichka [43]

Answer: 1. The solvent in a mixture of gases is generally considered to be the substance in greater amount. 2. The solid dissolved in a solution is known as the solute. 3. Solid solutions are called alloys.

Explanation:

A binary solution is made up of two components ,called as solute and another as solvent.

A solute is defined as the component which is present in smaller proportion. It can be in solid, liquid or gaseous phase. A solvent is defined as the component which is present in larger proportion in a solution. It can be in solid, liquid or gaseous phase.

Usually in liquid solutions , solid acts as solute and liquid acts as solvent. For example: In salt solution, salt is the solute and water is the solvent.

Solid solutions contains solid as solute and solid as solvent. These are called as alloys. For example : In brass, zinc is the solute and copper is the solvent.

(a) the characteristic odor of pineapple is due to ethyl butyrate, a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. combustio
ella [17]

By stoichiometry and assume that:

CxH2xOy + zO2 -> xCO2 + xH2O 

<span>
CO2: 9.48/44 = 0.215 mmol 
H2O: 3.87/18 = 0.215 mmol 
mass of C = 0.215 * 12 = 2.58 mg 
mass of H = 0.215 * 2 * 1 = 0.43 mg 
mass of O in ethylbutyrate = 4.17 - 2.58 - 0.43 = 1.11 mg 
So C/O = 2.58/1.11 ≈ 3 </span>

<span>
Thus we have C3H6O</span>

What is the limiting reagent when a 2.00 g sample of ammonia is mixed with 4.00 g of oxygen?​
UNO [17]

Answer:

Ammonia is limiting reactant

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.035 mol

Explanation:

Masa of ammonia = 2.00 g

Mass of oxygen = 4.00 g

Which is limiting reactant = ?

Balance chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 3O₂     →     2N₂ + 6H₂O

Number of moles of ammonia:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 2.00 g/ 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.12 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.00 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.125 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia and oxygen with water and nitrogen.

                      NH₃          :            N₂

                        4             :             2

                      0.12           :           2/4×0.12 = 0.06

                      NH₃         :            H₂O

                        4            :             6

                        0.12       :           6/4×0.12 = 0.18

                       

                       O₂            :            N₂

                        3             :             2

                      0.125        :           2/3×0.125 = 0.08

                        O₂           :            H₂O

                        3              :             6

                        0.125       :           6/3×0.125 = 0.25

The number of moles of water and nitrogen formed by ammonia are less thus ammonia will be limiting reactant.

Amount of oxygen left:

                        NH₃          :             O₂

                           4            :              3

                           0.12       :          3/4×0.12= 0.09

Amount of oxygen react = 0.09 mol

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.125 - 0.09 = 0.035 mol

What is the balance equation for copper metal and aqueous zinc nitrate
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

No reaction

Explanation:

Single-displacement reaction is the chemical reaction in which one metal which has higher negative redox potential replaces the another from it's salt solution.

Thus, Cu cannot replaces zine from its salt as it is less reactive than zince.

However, zinc can replace copper from its salt as:

Zn_{(s)}+Cu(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}\rightarrow Cu_{(s)}+Zn(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}

What might law enforcement do to reduce attempts at deception when gaining a handwriting sample?
Anarel [89]
In order to decrease the chances of deception in acquiring a handwriting sample, what the law enforcement do is that, they ask they person to write as little as possible, write the passage only once and also gather the material that consist some of the similar words and phrases as the suspected document. Answer for this would be all of the above.
