If the battery was removed, the energy produced by the battery would not be able to continue its path along the circuit.
Answer:
The equilibrium expression is:
CoC2O4(s)⇌Co2+(aq)+C2O2−4(aq)
For this reaction:
Ksp = [Co2+][C2O2−4]=1.96×10−8
Explanation:
Batteries will not clot if cobalt ions are removed from its cells. Some blood collection tubes contain salts of the oxalate ion,
C2O2−4
, for this purpose. At sufficiently high concentrations, the calcium
and oxalate ions form solid, CoC2O4·H2O (which also contains water bound in the solid). The concentration of Co2+ in a sample of blood serum is 2.2 × 10–3M. What concentration of
C2O2−4
ion must be established before CoC2O4·H2O begins to precipitate.
CoC2O4 does not appear in this expression because it is a solid. Water does not appear because it is the solvent.
Solid CoC2O4 does not begin to form until Q equals Ksp. Because we know Ksp and [Co2+], we can solve for the concentration of
C2O2−4
that is necessary to produce the first trace of solid:
Answer:
the correct answer is (2)
Explanation:
For any given element the mass number can be found by adding the protons and the neutrons.
In this case its 10 protons plus 11 neutrons which gives us 21 as the mass number.
