Answer:

h. both Mg(OH)₂ and CaCO₃

Explanation:

Let's consider the solution of Mg(OH)₂ according to the following equation:

Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

In acidic solution, OH⁻ reacts with H⁺ to form H₂O.

OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⇄ H₂O(l)

According to Le Chatelier's principle, since [OH⁻] decreases, the solution of Mg(OH)₂(s) shifts toward the right, increasing its solubility.

Let's consider the solution of CaCO₃ according to the following equation:

CaCO₃(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

In acidic solution, CO₃²⁻ reacts with H⁺ to form HCO₃⁻.

CO₃²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⇄ HCO₃⁻(aq)

According to Le Chatelier's principle, since [CO₃²⁻] decreases, the solution of CaCO₃(s) shifts toward the right, increasing its solubility.

Let's consider the solution of AgCl according to the following equation:

AgCl(s) ⇄ Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

Cl⁻ does not react with H⁺ because it comes from a strong acid (HCl). Therefore, the solubility of AgCl(s) is not affected by the pH.

When 50 ml of 1.000x10^-1m pb(no3)2 solution was added to 50 ml of 1.000x10^-1m nai solution?

podryga [215]

Balanced chemical reaction: Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2NaI(aq) → 2PbI₂(s) + 2NaNO₃(aq).

V(Pb(NO₃)₂) = 50 mL ÷ 1000 mL = 0.05 L, volume of solution.

c(Pb(NO₃)₂) = 0.1 mol/L; concentration of solution.

n(Pb(NO₃)₂) = c(Pb(NO₃)₂) · V(Pb(NO₃)₂).

n(Pb(NO₃)₂) = 0.1 mol/L · 0.05 L.

n(Pb(NO₃)₂) = 0.005 mol.

n(NaI) = c(NaI) · V(NaI).

n(NaI) = 0.1 mol/L · 0.05 L.

n(NaI) = 0.005 mol; amount of substance.

From chemical reaction: n(Pb(NO₃)₂) : n(NaI) = 1 : 2.

n(Pb(NO₃)₂) = 0.005 mol ÷ 2.

n(Pb(NO₃)₂) = 0.0025 mol; number of moles Pb(NO₃)₂ used.

n(NaI) = 0.005 mol; number of moles NaI used.

The limiting reagent is Pb(NO₃)₂.

n(PbI₂) = 0.005 mol.

m(PbI₂) = n(PbI₂) · M(PbI₂).

m(PbI₂) = 0.005 mol · 461 g/mol.

m(PbI₂) = 2.305 g; the theoretical yield of PbI₂.

What would happen to the block if it had a density of 0.500 kg/L and was placed in the same 100.0 L tank of water?

raketka [301]

I’m not sure if there was important information in the question before this one, but the answer based on the info I have is B.

The density of water is 1kg/L. Since the density of the block is less, it will float.

<h3>Living organisms </h3>

Living organisms; be it plants or animals are any organic or living system composed of cells and function as an individual entity.

All living organisms share a number of key characteristics or functions such as movement, respiration, homeostasis, reproduction, growth, evolution, competition and others.

Animals and plants also posess systems such as the digestive, skeletal, transport, nervous, excretory, respiratory and reproductive system.

Living organisms are also taxonomically classified as either unicellular microorganisms or multicellular plants and animals

So therefore, surely, If cells did not work together in an organism, there won't be formation of new cells and life process would stop

stich3 [128]

Explanation:

Contributing structures are the resonating structures which are formed due to the delocalization of electrons in a molecule.

The azide ion that is $N^{-}_3$ , is a symmetrical ion, all of whose contributing structures have formal charges.

Lone pair of central nitrogen atom in azide ion is in conjugation with the neighboring nitrogen atoms.

Contributing structures of azide ion are drawn in the image attached.

How does a battery become depleted or out of charge? * -the number of protons and electrons at both terminals are not equal -the

kompoz [17]

Answer:

the number of protons and neutrons at both terminals are equal

Explanation:

When the number of positive charge and negative charge are both equally the terminal, it becomes neutral and out of charge, because first it undergo enough chemical reaction and there is no remaining tendency for positive and negative charges to get separated. When this tendency dies, the battery also will run out of charge.
