Here is the full question.

Sodium carbonate is often added to laundry detergents to soften hard water and make the detergent more effective. Suppose that a particular detergent mixture is designed to soften hard water that is 3.8×10−3M in Ca2+ and 1.1×10−3M in Mg2+ and that the average capacity of a washing machine is 24.5 gallons of water. 1gallon=3.785L

If the detergent requires using 0.61 kg detergent per load of laundry, determine what percentage (by mass) of the detergent should be sodium carbonate in order to completely precipitate all of the calcium and magnesium ions in an average load of laundry water.

Answer:

7.90%

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction can be written as:

Na_2CO_3+Ca^{2+} ---------> CaCO_3(s) +2Na^+

Na_2CO_3+Mg^{2+} ---------> MgCO_3(s) +2Na^+

Molar mass of Na_2CO_3 = 106 g/mol

1.00 gallon of water = 3.785 L

∴ 24.5 gallons of water = 24.5 × 3.785

= 92.7325 L

mass precipitate = [(3.8*10^{-3})+(1.1*10^{-3})]\frac{mol}{L} *92.7325*\frac{106g}{mol}

mass precipitate = 48.162605

mass precipitate = 48.2 g

mass % = \frac{mass ofprecipitate}{mass of detergent} *100%%

mass % = \frac{48.2g}{0.61kg}*\frac{1kg}{1000g}*100%

mass % = 7.901639344

mass % = 7.90 %

1. A gas sample at a pressure of 5.00 atm has a volume of 3.00 L. If the gas pressure is changed to 760 mm Hg, what volume will
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

V₂ =  15.00 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial pressure = 5.00 atm

Initial volume = 3.00 L

Final pressure = 760 mmHg ( 760/760 = 1 atm)

Final volume = ?

Solution:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ /  P₂

V₂ =  5.00 atm × 3.00 L / 1 atm

V₂ =  15.00 atm

Draw an electrolytic cell in which Mn2+ is reduced to Mn and Sn is oxidized to Sn2+. (Assume standard conditions).
babunello [35]

Answer:

-1.05 V

Explanation:

A detailed diagram of the setup as required in the question is shown in the image attached to this answer. The electrolytes chosen are SnCl2 for the anode half cell and MnCl2 for the cathode half cell. Tin rod and manganese rod are used as the anode and cathode materials respectively. Electrons flow from anode to cathode as indicated. The battery connected to the set up drives this non spontaneous electrolytic process.

Oxidation half equation;

Sn(s) ------> Sn^2+(aq) + 2e

Reduction half equation:

Mn^2+(aq) + 2e ----> Mn(s)

Cell voltage= E°cathode - E°anode

E°cathode= -1.19V

E°anode= -0.14 V

Cell voltage= -1.19 V - (-0.14V)

Cell voltage= -1.05 V

I need help with number 8 please help ASAP.
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

33.33% = 33%

Explanation:

MgCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H20(l) + CO2(g)

1 mole of MCO3 will produce → 1 mole of CO2

We need to get the number of mole of CO2:

and when we have 0.22 g of CO2, so number of mole = mass / molar mass

Moles = 0.22 g / 44 g/mol = 0.005 mole

Moles of Mg = moles of CO2 = 0.005 mole

Mass of Mg = moles * molar mass

= 0.005 * 84 /mol = 0.42 g

Percent of MgCO3 by mass of Mg = 0.42 g / 1.26 * 100

=33.33 %

Which of the following best describes an advantage of cloning? Can prevent genetic diseases Can increase genetic diversity Helps
s344n2d4d5 [400]
The statement that best describes an advantage of cloning is that it can prevent genetic diseases. DNA cloning is a term used in recombinant DNA technology happens when a DNA strand belonging to one organism is transmitted into a particular type of genetic element having the capacity to self replicate. DNA cloning was developed to offer solutions related to healthcare and medical issues. Illnesses occur mostly because our body fails to produce essential proteins in ample amount is needed, these problems and other inherited problems may be solved using DNA cloning.
