Ksp. 1.5 × 10−8. 1.35 × 10−9. 1.1 × 10−11
What is the order of the cations that would precipitate with the addition of C2O42−?

Every time I do this I keep getting the opposite of the answer. Can you please show your process so I can see where I am going wrong? Thank you!

Answer:

BaC₂O₄, then ZnC₂O₄, then Ag₂C₂O₄  

Explanation:

1. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of oxalate ion

Let [C₂O₄²⁻] = c

(a) Barium oxalate

                 BaC₂O₄ ⇌   Ba²⁺   + C₂O₄²⁻

E/mol·L⁻¹:                   5.0 × 10⁻⁵     c

Ksp = [Ba²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = 5.0 × 10⁻⁵c = 1.5 × 10⁻⁸

c = (1.5 × 10⁻⁸)/(5.0 × 10⁻⁵) = 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

(b) Zinc oxalate

                ZnC₂O₄ ⇌   Zn²⁺   + C₂O₄²⁻

E/mol·L⁻¹:                 2.0 × 10⁻⁷      c

Ksp = [Zn²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = 2.0 × 10⁻⁷c = 1.35 × 10⁻⁹

c = (1.35 × 10⁻⁹)/(2.0 × 10⁻⁷) = 6.8 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹

(c) Silver oxalate

                 Ag₂C₂O₄ ⇌   2Ag⁺   +   C₂O₄²⁻  

E/mol·L⁻¹:                      3.0 × 10⁻⁵       c

Ksp = [Ag⁺]²[C₂O₄²⁻] = (3.0× 10⁻⁵)²c = 9.0 × 10⁻¹⁰c = 1.1 × 10⁻¹¹

c = (1.1 × 10⁻¹¹)/(9.0 × 10⁻¹⁰) = 0.012 mol·L⁻¹

2. Decide the order of precipitation

BaC₂O₄ will precipitate when   c > 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

ZnC₂O₄ will precipitate when   c > 6.8 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹

Ag₂C₂O₄ will precipitate when c > 0.028       mol·L⁻¹

This happens to be the order of increasing concentration of oxalate ion.

The order of precipitation is

BaC₂O₄, then ZnC₂O₄, then Ag₂C₂O₄

One part of the cell theory states that all living things are made up of one or more cells. Scientists had to find ways to test
sergejj [24]

Answer:

A population or community research line can be carried out, wherever at a certain point in time, regardless of whether it is a cross-sectional study.

In addition, the people who would be the population to be studied or the object of study might or might not know the cause of the study (blind) while the researcher could be experimentally participatory.

Explanation:

They are prevalence studies, in which the presence of a health condition or state is determined in a well-defined population and in a determined time frame: one day, one week, a particular moment in life, even if it does not temporarily coincide in all the subjects (for example, the blood pressure figures at the time of entering the school or at the beginning of the holidays, the prevalence of diabetes in hospitalized patients on a given day, etc.).

They are like "photographs" of a state of affairs at a given moment. The simultaneous determination of what is understood by exposure and event does not allow defining causality.

Strontium sulfate becomes less soluble in an aqueous solution when sodium sulfator is added because
horsena [70]

Answer:

The addition of sulfate ions shifts equilibrium to the left.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the following ionization of strontium sulfate:

SrSO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons Sr^{2+}+SO_4^{2-}

It is evidenced that when sodium sulfate is added, sulfate, SO_4^{2+} is actually added in to the solution, which causes the equilibrium to shift leftwards according to the Le Ch athelier's principle. Thus, the answer in this case would be:

The addition of sulfate ions shifts equilibrium to the left.

Best regards!
