Magnesium occurs in seawater to the extent of 1.4 g magnesium per kilogram of seawater. What volume of seawater, in cubic meters

, would have to be processed to produce 1.00 x 105 tons of magnesium (1 ton = 2000 lb)? Assume a density of 1.025 g/ml for seawater.

Answer: 6.3\times 10^7m^3

Explanation:

Required amount of magnesium = 1.00\times 10^5 tons

Given : 1 ton = 2000 lb

1.00\times 10^5 tons=\frac{2000}{1}\times 1.00\times 10^5=2\times 10^8lb

1 lb = 453.592 g

2\times 10^8 lb=\frac{453.592 }{1}\times 2\times 10^8 lb=907.184\times 10^8g

Given : 1.4 g of magnesium is produced by 1000 g of sea water

907.184\times 10^8g of magnesium is produced by =\frac{1000}{1.4}\times 907.184\times 10^8g=6.5\times 10^{13} g of sea water

Density of sea water  = 1.025 g/ml

Volume of sea water =\frac{\text {mass of sea water}}{\text {density of sea water}}=\frac{6.5\times 10^{11}g}{ 1.025g/ml}=6.3\times 10^{13}ml

1 ml = 10^{-6}m^3

6.3\times 10^{13}ml=\frac{10^{-6}}{1}\times 6.3\times 10^{13}=6.3\times 10^7m^3

Volume of seawater, in cubic meters is 6.3\times 10^7

Alja [10]

Answer: Ioniç bond is also called electrovalent bond. It involves the transfer of electrons from positively charged ions to negatively charged ions. covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that involves electrons sharing by atoms of a molecule in order to achieve a stable electronic configuration.. Metallic bond is a type of chemical bond that forms between metal atoms and it occurs when positive metal ions are attracted to a negatively charged electron that are not associated with a single atom. The differences can be seen in the definitions above.

Pauli exclusion principle states that electrons which are identical cannot have the same quantum state.

A solution of 100.0 mL of 0.200 M KOH is mixed with a solution of 200.0 mL of 0.150 M NiSO4. (a) Write the balanced chemical equ
NISA [10]

Answer:

a) 2KOH + NiSO₄ → K₂SO₄ + Ni(OH)₂

b) Ni(OH)₂

c) KOH

d) 0.927 g

e) K⁺=0.067 M, SO₄²⁻=0.1 M, Ni²⁺=0.067 M

Explanation:

a) The equation is:

2KOH + NiSO₄ → K₂SO₄ + Ni(OH)₂   (1)        

b) The precipitate formed is Ni(OH)₂  

 

c) The limiting reactant is:

n_{KOH} = V*M = 100.0 \cdot 10^{-3} L*0.200 mol/L = 0.020 moles

n_{NiSO_{4}} = V*M = 200.0 \cdot 10^{-3} L*0.150 mol/L = 0.030 moles

From equation (1) we have that 2 moles of KOH react with 1 mol of NiSO₄, so the number of moles of KOH is:

n = \frac{2}{1}*0.030 moles = 0.060 moles                  

Hence, the limiting reactant is KOH.  

d) The mass of the precipitate formed is:

n_{Ni(OH)_{2}} = \frac{1}{2}*n_{KOH} = \frac{1}{2}*0.020 moles = 0.010 moles

m = n*M = 0.010 moles*92.72 g/mol = 0.927 g  

e) The concentration of the SO₄²⁻, K⁺, and Ni²⁺ ions are:

C_{K^{+}} = \frac{2*\frac{1}{2}*n_{KOH}}{V} = \frac{0.020 moles}{0.300 L} = 0.067 M  

C_{SO_{4}^{2-}} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}*n_{KOH + (0.03 - 0.01)}}{V} = \frac{0.030 moles}{0.300 L} = 0.1 M

C_{Ni^{2+}} = \frac{0.020 moles}{0.300 L} = 0.067 M

I hope it helps you!

For the following aqueous reaction, complete and balance the molecular equation and write a net iconic equatio, making sure to i
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Balance molecular equation:

K2CO3(aq) + Sr(NO3)2(aq) → SrCO3(s) + 2KNO3(aq)

Net ionic equation:

CO3∧-2(aq) + Sr∧+2(aq) → SrCO3(s)

Explanation:

Potassium carbonate = K2CO3

Strontium nitrate = Sr(NO3)2

Chemical equation:

K2CO3 + Sr(NO3)2 → SrCO3 + KNO3

Balance chemical equation with physical states:

K2CO3(aq) + Sr(NO3)2(aq) → SrCO3(s) + 2KNO3(aq)

Ionic equation:

2K+(aq) + CO3∧-2(aq) + Sr∧+2(aq) + 2NO∧-3(aq) → SrCO3(s) + 2K+(aq) + 2NO∧-3(aq)

Net ionic equation:

CO3∧-2(aq) + Sr∧+2(aq) → SrCO3(s)

2K+ and 2NO∧-3 ions are spectator ions that's way these are not written in net ionic equation.

Spectator ions:

These are the ions that are present same on both side of chemical reaction and does not effect the equilibrium.
