Answer:
A. Decomposed organic matter
Explanation:
MgCl2 = 1Mg + 2Cl = 1(24.3) + 2(35.45) = 95.2g/1mole
7.50moles MgCl2 x 95.2g MgCl2 = 714g MgCl2
You can't usually just use a single spectrum line to confirm the identity of an element because there are cases that the emission line id not clearly defined. When the emission line is very weak compared to surrounding noise, in which case the more datapoints you have to build up confidence for the existence of a particular emission spectra, the better.
Answer:
a. Ksp = 4s³
b. 5.53 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹
Explanation:
a. Obtain an expression for the solubility product of AB2(S),in terms of s.
AB₂ dissociates to give
AB₂ ⇄ A²⁺ + 2B⁻
Since 1 mole of AB₂ gives 1 mole of A and 2 moles of B, we have the mole ratio as
AB₂ ⇄ A²⁺ + 2B⁻
1 : 1 : 2
Since the solubility of AB₂ is s, then the solubility of A is s and that of B is 2s
So, we have
AB₂ ⇄ A²⁺ + 2B⁻
[s] [s] [2s]
So, the solubility product Ksp = [A²⁺][B⁻]²
= (s)(2s)²
= s(4s²)
= 4s³
b. Calculate the Ksp of AB₂, given that solubility is 2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³
Given that the solubility of AB is 2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³ and the solubility product Ksp = [A²⁺][B⁻]² = 4s³ where s = solubility of AB = 2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³
Substituting the value of s into the equation, we have
Ksp = 4s³
= 4(2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³)³
= 4(13.824 × 10³ mol³/dm⁹)
= 55.296 × 10³ mol³/dm⁹
= 5.5296 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹
≅ 5.53 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹
Ksp = 5.53 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹
