The compound CaSO4 ionizes into a calcium ion and a sulfate ion (SO4). Calcium has two electrons in its outer shell. Upon ioniza

tion, what would you expect the charge on the sulfate ion to be?

Answer:

-2

Explanation:

Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.

Thus, calcium loses two electrons to sulfate ion and sulfate ion accepts these electrons to form ionic bond.

Calcium sulfate, $CaSO_4$ is formed when 2 valence electrons of calcium are loosed and they are gained by sulfate ion.

$Ca^{2+}+SO_4^{2-}\rightarrow CaSO_4$

Thus, the charge on the sulfate ion is -2.

Five million gallons per day (MGD) of wastewater, with a concentration of 10.0 mg/L of a conservative pollutant, is released int

hjlf

Answer:

a) The concentration in ppm (mg/L) is 5.3 downstream the release point.

b) Per day pass 137.6 pounds of pollutant.

Explanation:

The first step is to convert Million Gallons per Day (MGD) to Liters per day (L/d). In that sense, it is possible to calculate with data given previously in the problem.

Million Gallons per day $1 MGD = 3785411.8 litre/day = 3785411.8 L/d$

$F_1 = 5 MGD (\frac{3785411.8 L/d}{1MGD} ) = 18927059 L/d\\F_2 =10 MGD (\frac{3785411.8 L/d}{1MGD} )= 37854118 L/d$

We have one flow of wastewater released into a stream.

First flow is F1 =5 MGD with a concentration of C1 =10.0 mg/L.

Second flow is F2 =10 MGD with a concentration of C2 =3.0 mg/L.

After both of them are mixed, the final concentration will be between 3.0 and 10.0 mg/L. To calculate the final concentration, we can calculate the mass of pollutant in total, adding first and Second flow pollutant, and dividing in total flow. Total flow is the sum of first and second flow. It is shown in the following expression:

$C_f = \frac{F1*C1 +F2*C2}{F1 +F2}$

Replacing every value in L/d and mg/L

$C_f = \frac{18927059 L/d*10.0 mg/L +37854118 L/d*10.0 mg/L}{18927059 L/d +37854118 L/d}\\C_f = \frac{302832944 mg/d}{56781177 L/d} \\C_f = 5.3 mg/L$

a) So, the concentration just downstream of the release point will be 5.3 mg/L it means 5.3 ppm.

Finally, we have to calculate the pounds of substance per day (Mp).

We have the total flow F3 = F1 + F2 and the final concentration $C_f$ . It is required to calculate per day, let's take a time of t = 1 day.

$F3 = F2 +F1 = 56781177 L/d \\M_p = F3 * t * C_f\\M_p = 56781177 \frac{L}{d} * 1 d * 5.3 \frac{mg}{L}\\M_p = 302832944 mg$

After that, mg are converted to pounds.

$M_p = 302832944 mg (\frac{1g}{1000 mg} ) (\frac{1Kg}{1000 g} ) (\frac{2.2 lb}{1 Kg} )\\M_p = 137.6 lb$

b) A total of 137.6 pounds pass a given spot downstream per day.

To what volume would you need to dilute 200 mL of a 5.85M solution of Ca(OH)2 to make it a 1.95M solution?

Blizzard [7]

Answer: 600 mL

Explanation:

Given that;

M₁ = 5.85 m

M₂ = 1.95 m

V₁ = 200 mL

V₂ = ?

Now from the dilution law;

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

so we substitute

5.85 × 200 = 1.95 × V₂

1170 = 1.95V₂

V₂ = 1170 / 1.95

V₂ = 600 mL

Therefore final volume is 600 mL

What's an element in period 5 with larger radius than Yttrium?

eimsori [14]

Rubidium or strontium have larger a larger atomic radius since the further left on the periodic table you go, the larger the sizes of the atoms are. This trend can be explained through effective nuclear charge which explains how the further left and down you go, the less the atoms nucleus is able to pull in the electrons around it.<span />

How many Joules are released to cool 250.0 grams of liquid water from 100°C to 0°C? The specific heat of water is 4.180 J/g.C.

nlexa [21]

$\bold{\huge{\orange{\underline{ Solution}}}}$

$\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}$

<u>We </u><u>have </u><u>250g </u><u>of </u><u>liquid </u><u>water </u><u>and </u><u>it </u><u>needs </u><u>to </u><u>be </u><u>cool </u><u>at </u><u>temperature </u><u>from </u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>°</u><u> </u><u>C </u><u>to </u><u>0</u><u>°</u><u> </u><u>C</u>
<u>Specific </u><u>heat </u><u>of </u><u>water </u><u>is </u><u>4</u><u>.</u><u>1</u><u>8</u><u>0</u><u>J</u><u>/</u><u>g</u><u>°</u><u>C</u>

$\bold{\underline{ To \: Find :- }}$

<u>We </u><u>have </u><u>to </u><u>find </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>total</u><u> </u><u>number </u><u>of </u><u>joules </u><u>released</u><u>. </u>

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \:Begin:- }}$

<u>We </u><u>know </u><u>that</u><u>, </u>

Amount of heat energy = mass * specific heat * change in temperature

<u>That </u><u>is, </u>

$\sf{\red{ Q = mcΔT }}$

<u>Subsitute </u><u>the </u><u>required </u><u>values </u><u>in </u><u>the </u><u>above </u><u>formula </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

$\sf{ Q = 250 × 4.180 ×(0 - 100 )}$

$\sf{ Q = 250 × 4.180 × - 100 }$

$\sf{ Q = 250 × - 418}$

$\sf{\pink{ Q = - 104,500 J }}$

Hence, 104,500 J of heat is released to cool 250 grams of liquid water from 100° C to 0° C.

$\bold{\underline{ Now :- }}$

<u>We </u><u>have </u><u>to </u><u>tell </u><u>whether </u><u>the </u><u>above </u><u>process </u><u>is </u><u>endothermic </u><u>or </u><u>exothermic </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

Here, In the above process ΔT is negative and as a result of it Q is also negative that means above process is Exothermic

<u>Exothermic </u><u>process </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>It </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>process </u><u>in </u><u>which </u><u>heat </u><u>is </u><u>evolved </u><u>. </u>
<u>Endothermic </u><u>process </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>It </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>process </u><u>in </u><u>which </u><u>heat </u><u>is </u><u>absorbed </u><u>.</u>
