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.

Which statement is true for an open system?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Before we get into the first law of thermodynamics we need to understand the relation between heat and work and the concept of internal energy. Just like mass, energy is always conserved i.e. it can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be transformed from one form to another. Internal energy is a thermodynamic property of the system that refers to the energy associated with the molecules of the system which includes kinetic energy and potential energy.

Whenever a system goes through any change due to interaction of heat, work and internal energy, it is followed by numerous energy transfer and conversions. However, during these transfers, there is no net change in the total energy.

Similarly, if we look at the first law of thermodynamics it affirms that heat is a form of energy. What it means is that the thermodynamic processes are governed by the principle of conservation of energy. The first law of thermodynamics is also sometimes referred to as the Law of Conservation of Energy

How many moles of I(iodine)2 are there in a 500.0g bottle? Please include significant figures
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Number of moles = 1.97 mol

Explanation:

Given data;

Number of moles of I₂ = ?

Mass = 500.0 g

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of  I₂ = 253.8 g/mol

Number of moles = 500 g / 253.8 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.97 mol

How many moles are in 3.4 x 10^-7 molecules of silicon dioxide, SiO2?​
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Approximately 5.646 * 10^-17 moles

Explanation:

Avagardo's number is approximately 6.022 * 10^23 molecules. Therefore, dividing 3.4 * 10^7 by avagadro's number yields approximately 5.646 * 10^-17 moles. Hope this helps
