A solution contains [Ba2+] = 5.0 × 10−5 M, [Zn2+] = 2.0 × 10−7 M, and [Ag+] = 3.0 × 10−5 M. Sodium oxalate (Na2C2O4) is slowly a

dded so that the following salts are formed. Salt BaC2O4. ZnC2O4. Ag2C2O4.
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

Answer:

The second one

Explanation:

Gas pressure is caused by gas molecules bouncing off the container walls and each other. Every time a molecule changes direction because it hits a wall, the change in momentum results in a small push. Due to the large number of molecules involved, the pushes add up to a large amount of pressure.

Balloon has a volume of 600-ml at temperature of 360 K. If the temperature of
Molodets [167]

Answer:

V₂ ≈416.7 mL

Explanation:

This question asks us to find the volume, given another volume and 2 temperatures in Kelvin. Based on this information, we must be using Charles's Law and the formula. Remember, his law states the volume of a gas is proportional to the temperature.

  • V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

where V₁ and V₂ are the first and second volumes, and T₁ and T₂ are the first and second temperature.

The balloon has a volume of 600 milliliters and a temperature of 360 K, but the temperature then drops to 250 K. So,

  • V₁= 600 mL
  • T₁= 360 K
  • T₂= 250 K

Substitute the values into the formula.

  • 600 mL /360 K = V₂ / 250 K

Since we are solving for the second volume when the temperature is 250 K, we have to isolate the variable V₂. It is being divided by 250 K. The inverse o division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 250 K.

  • 250 K * 600 mL /360 K = V₂ / 250 K * 250 K
  • 250 K * 600 mL/360 K = V₂

The units of Kelvin cancel, so we are left with the units of mL.

  • 250 * 600 mL/360=V₂
  • 416.666666667 mL= V₂

Let's round to the nearest tenth. The 6 in the hundredth place tells us to round to 6 to a 7.

  • 416.7 mL ≈V₂

The volume of the balloon at 250 K is approximately 416.7 milliliters.

If a 185-lb patient is prescribed 145mg. What dosage is the patient receiving in mg/kg of his body weight?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

1.728 mg/kg

Explanation:

First have to convert the patient's weight to kg

1 lb = 0.454 kg

185 lb in kg = 83.9 kg

Then we have to divide the dose per the weight of the patient

145 mg for 83.9 kg =  145/83.9

= 1.728 mg/kg
