Answer:

1.315x10⁻³M = [Ca²⁺]

Explanation:

Based in the reaction:

Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂(s) ⇄ 10Ca²⁺(aq) + 6PO₄³⁻(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

Solubility product, ksp, is defined as:

ksp = [Ca²⁺]¹⁰ [PO₄³⁻]⁶ [OH⁻]²

From 1 mole of hydroxyapatite are produced  10 moles of Ca²⁺ and 6 moles of PO₄³⁻. That means moles of PO₄³⁻ are:

6/10 Ca²⁺ = PO₄³⁻

Replacing in ksp formula:

ksp = [Ca²⁺]¹⁰ [0.6Ca²⁺]⁶ [OH⁻]²

As [OH⁻] is 2.50x10⁻⁶M and ksp is 2.34x10⁻⁵⁹:

2.34x10⁻⁵⁹ =  [Ca²⁺]¹⁰ [0.6Ca²⁺]⁶ [2.50x10⁻⁶]²

3.744x10⁻⁴⁸ = 0.046656[Ca²⁺]¹⁶

<em />

<em>1.315x10⁻³M = [Ca²⁺]</em>

<em />

I hope it helps!

How many atoms are there in 1 g of argon?
amm1812

Answer:

1.5057×10^22 atom

Explanation:

As we

1 mole of argon = 40 g of argon

i.e 40 g of argon = 1 mole of argon

1 g of argon = 1/40 mole of argon

1 mole of argon = 6.023×10^23 atom of argon

1/40 mole if argon = 1/40 ×6.023×10^23

= 1.5057×10^22

ICl has a higher boiling point than Br2. What is the best explanation for this?
Flura [38]
<span>The best answer is B. ICl experiences induced dipole-induced dipole interactions. Both iodine and chlorine belongs to the same group of the periodic table. Electronegativity decreases as you go down a group therefore Cl will have a greater attraction with the bond it forms with another atom. Dipole-dipole interactions form between I and Cl. For the Br2 molecule, no dipole occurs because they are two identical atoms. Therefore we will be expecting ICl will have a higher boiling point due to higher binding energy it forms.</span>

When the temperature of a reacting mixture increases, the rate of reaction increases. Which statement explains why the rate of r
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

This is one of the factors that affects chemical reactions

Temperature:This is because when the temperature is raised energy in form of heat is supplied to the reacting particles and so the rate of reaction is increased.

What is my control group in my experiment and why is it that?
alex41 [277]
Your control group would be the batteries since you CONTROL what brand you're using, for which one lasts the longest...aren't you suppose to figure that out when you do the experiment?
