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.

Likurg_2 [28]
The question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below:
...........................................................................................................................

Answer: 
Given: conc. of HBr = 1.4 M
Volume of HBr = 15.4 mL
Volume of KOH = 22.10 mL

We know that, M1V1 = M2V2
                        (HBr)      (KOH)

Therefore, M2 = M1V1/V2
                        = 1.4 X 15.4/22.10
                        = 0.9756 M

Concentration of KOH is 0.9756 M.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

b. Loose clothing and jewelry is more likely to impede movement, or accidentally knock materials over, causing a spill or other accident.

Explanation:

Hello,

During the laboratories, a high dexterity is required, thus, such accessories,  when you move or change your duty, could touch other materials or act out of your control resulting in spillages and constricting your proper movements and skills, that is why considering the lab safety policy, we must take those artifacts away from the chemistry lab.

Best regards.
