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.

1. How is the number of energy levels in an atom related to the period number?
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The highest energy level number (1 through 7) for the electrons in an atom corresponds to the period (or row) in the periodic table to which that atom belongs. Because there are 7 periods in the table, there are 7 energy levels. For example, hydrogen (H) is in the first period, so it has only one energy level.

Classify each of these statements as always true, at; sometimes true, st; or never true, nt. 11. the rate at which a solute diss
photoshop1234 [79]
It is always true that the rate at which a solute dissolves can be increased by grinding. The smaller the solute the easier it will dissolve in the solvent, while other facts play into the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent, a major part of this is also how small the solute is. You can think of how rock salt is harder to dissolve in water compared to finely ground salt.

It is sometimes true that as the temperature of a solvent decreases, the solubility of a solute increase. The reason for this is that for liquids and solids as temperature increases the solubility increases but for gasses, as the temperature increases the solubility decreases.

It is always true that stirring a solute when adding it to a solvent should increase the rate of its dissolving. however, this will not increase the amount that is able to be dissolved in the solution.

It is never true that Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is a function of temperature. Henry's law is a gas law that was determined by William Henry in 1803. The law dictates that when in constant temperature the amount of gas that dissolves in a given volume of a liquid is proportional directly to the partial pressure of the gas at equilibrium with the desired liquid. In simpler terms, the solubility of the gas in a certain liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.

It is always true that two liquids that dissolve in each other are miscible. Miscibility is described as the property of liquids and other substances to mix in all proportions and forming homogeneous solutions.

What happens to wavelength as wave frequency increases?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer.
