Sodium phosphate is added to a solution that contains 0.0030 M aluminum nitrate and 0.016 M calcium chloride. The concentration

of the first ion to precipitate (either Al3+ or Ca2+) decreases as its precipitate forms. What is the concentration of this ion when the second ion begins to precipitate?

Explanation:

It is given that aluminium nitrate and calcium chloride are mixed together with sodium phosphate.

And, K_{sp} of AlPO_{4} = 9.84 \times 10^{-21}

        K_{sp} of Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2} = 2.0 \times 10^{-29}

Let us assume that the solubility be "s". And, the reaction equation is as follows.

        AlPO_{4} \rightleftharpoons Al^{3+} + PO^{3-}_{4}

     9.84 \times 10^{-21} = s \times s

             s = 9.92 \times 10^{-11}

Also,     Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2} \rightleftharpoons 3Ca^{2+} + 2PO^{3-}_{4}

                2 \times 10^{-29} = (3s)^{3} \times (2s)^{2}

                            s = 7.14 \times 10^{-7}

This means that first, aluminium phosphate will precipitate.

Now, we will calculate the concentration of phosphate when calcium phosphate starts to precipitate out using the K_{sp} expression as follows.

         K_{sp} = [Ca^{2+}]^{3}[PO^{3-}_{4}]^{2}

          2.0 \times 10^{-29} = (0.016)^{3}[PO^{3-}_{4}]^{2}

       2.0 \times 10^{-29} = 4.096 \times 10^{-6} \times [PO^{3-}_{4}]^{2}

       [PO^{3-}_{4}]^{2} = 4.88 \times 10^{-24}

                             = 2.21 \times 10^{-12} M

Similarly, calculate the concentration of aluminium at this concentration of phosphate as follows.

             AlPO_{4} \rightleftharpoons Al^{3+} + PO^{3-}_{4}

           K_{sp} = [Al^{3+}][PO^{3-}_{4}]

       9.84 \times 10^{-21} = [Al^{3+}] \times 2.21 \times 10^{-12}

                [Al^{3+}] = 4.45 \times 10^{-9} M

Thus, we can conclude that concentration of aluminium will be 4.45 \times 10^{-9} M when calcium begins to precipitate.

algol [13]
Answer:

0.21mol Ar (g)

Explanation:

To convert from litres to moles at STP we must divide the amount of litres by 22.4.

4.7 / 22.4 = 0.21mol Ar (g)

andrezito [222]

Answer : The thermal energy produced during the complete combustion of one mole of cymene is -7193 kJ/mole

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat released by the combustion.

q=c\times \Delta T

where,

q = heat released = ?

c = specific heat of calorimeter = 3.640kJ/^oC

\Delta T = change in temperature = 19.35^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=3.640kJ/^oC\times (19.35)^oC

q=70.43kJ

Thus, the heat released by the combustion = 70.43 kJ

Now we have to calculate the molar enthalpy combustion.

\Delta H=-\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H = molar enthalpy combustion = ?

q = heat released = 70.43 kJ

n = number of moles cymene = \frac{\text{Mass of cymene}}{\text{Molar mass of cymene}}=\frac{1.608g}{164.22g/mol}=0.009792mole

\Delta H=-\frac{70.43kJ}{0.009792mole}=-7193kJ/mole

Therefore, the thermal energy produced during the complete combustion of one mole of cymene is -7193 kJ/mole
