The question is incomplete, complete question is;

A solution of Na_2CO_3 is added dropwise to a solution that contains1.15\times 10^{-2} M of Fe^{2+} and 0.58\times 10^{-2} M and Cd^{2+}.

What concentration of CO_3^{2-} is need to initiate precipitation? Neglect any volume changes during the addition.

K_{sp} value FeCO_3: 2.10\times 10^{-11}

K_{sp} value CdCO_3: 1.80\times 10^{-14}

What concentration of CO_3^{2-} is need to initiate precipitation of the first ion.

Answer:

Cadmium carbonate will precipitate out first.

Concentration of CO_3^{2-} is need to initiate precipitation of the cadmium (II) ion is 3.103\times 10^{-12} M.

Explanation:

1) FeCO_3\rightleftharpoons Fe^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}

The expression of an solubility product of iron(II) carbonate :

K_{sp}=[Fe^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]

2.10\times 10^{-11}=0.58\times 10^{-2} M\times [CO_3^{2-}]

[CO_3^{2-}]=\frac{2.10\times 10^{-11}}{1.15\times 10^{-2} M}

[CO_3^{2-}]=1.826\times 10^{-9}M

2) CdCO_3\rightleftharpoons Cd^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}

The expression of an solubility product of cadmium(II) carbonate :

K_{sp}=[Cd^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]

1.80\times 10^{-14}=0.58\times 10^{-2} M\times [CO_3^{2-}]

[CO_3^{2-}]=\frac{1.80\times 10^{-14}}{0.58\times 10^{-2} M}

[CO_3^{2-}]=3.103\times 10^{-12} M

On comparing the concentrations of carbonate ions for both metallic ions, we can see that concentration to precipitate out the cadmium (II) carbonate from the solution is less than concentration to precipitate out the iron (II) carbonate from the solution.

So, cadmium carbonate will precipitate out first.

And the concentration of carbonate ions to start the precipitation of cadmium carbonate we will need concentration of carbonate ions greater than the 3.103\times 10^{-12} M concentration.

6. A balloon filled with air has a volume of 3.25 L at 30°C. It is placed in a freezer at
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

2.82 L

T₁ = 303 K

T₂ = 263 K

The final volume is smaller.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Initial temperature (T₁): 30 °C
  • Initial volume (V₁): 3.25 L
  • Final temperature (T₂): -10 °C
  • Final volume (V₂): ?

Step 2: Convert the temperatures to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15

T₁: K = 30°C + 273.15 = 303 K

T₂: K = -10°C + 273.15 = 263 K

Step 3: Calculate the final volume of the balloon

Assuming constant pressure and ideal behavior, we can calculate the final volume using Charles' law. Since the temperature is smaller, the volume must be smaller as well.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁ × T₂/T₁

V₂ = 3.25 L × 263 K/303 K = 2.82 L

Students find the pH of Substance A to be 2.1 and Substance B to be 4.4. They are told Substance C is less acidic than Substance
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the range should be 2.2 to 4.3

Explanation:

I think so because the numbers at the left side of the scale from 1 are more acidic so as it increases it's still acidic but lesser so 1 is more acidic than 2 so I used 2.2 as the beginning of the range because it's less acidic than A even though its a greater number and 4.3 is lesser than 4.4 but its still greater on the scale. frankly speaking I don't feel so correct because it's in decimal so try and compare facts thank you

How do you balance a chemical equation
Dominik [7]
There should be mass balance and the charge balance between the reactants and the products

Mass balance : total no of individual atoms of each type should be balanced before and after the reaction

Charge balance : Overall charge of the reactants should be balanced with the overall charge of the products

You can balance,

1)by just looking at it

2)by Algebraic method given above or

3)by the redox method

You need to know how to get the oxidation numbers in order to use the oxidation method

Which part of the atom is responsible for chemical bonding
Firdavs [7]

It states the fact, which we now know, that electrons are responsible for the chemical bonding. According to this theory, valency is the number of electrons present in the outermost energy shell of the atom. This energy shell is called valency shell.
