Answer:

A) 2.69 M

B) 0.059

Explanation:

A) We have:

33.8% solute by mass= 33.8 g solute/100 g solution

molarity = mol solute/ 1 L solution

molarity= \frac{33.8 g solute}{100 g solution} x \frac{1.15 g solution}{1 ml} x \frac{1 mol solute}{145.6 g solute} x \frac{1000 ml}{1 L}

molarity= 2.69 mol solute/L solution = 2.69 M

B) We know that there are 33.8 g of solute in 100 g of solution.

As the total solution is compounded by solute+solvent (in this case, solvent is water), the mass of water is the difference between the mass of the total solution and the mass of solute:

mass of water= 100 g - 33.8 g = 66.2 g

Now, we calculate the number of mol of both solute and water:

mol solute= 33.8 g solute x \frac{1 mol solute}{145.6 g} = 0.232 mol

mol H20= 66.2 g H₂O x \frac{1 mol H2O}{18 g}

Finally, the mol fraction of solute (Xsolute) is calculated as follows:

Xsolute=\frac{mol solute}{total mol}= \frac{mol solute}{mol solute + mol H2O}=\frac{0.232 mol}{0.232 mol + 3.677 mol}

Xsolute= 0.059

skad [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ksp(BaSO4)=1.07×10−10

BaSO₄ → Ba²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

1.07×10⁻¹⁰ = ( Ba²⁺) × ( SO₄²⁻)

but Ba²⁺ = 1.3×10⁻² M

1.07×10⁻¹⁰  = 1.3×10⁻² M × ( SO₄²⁻)

( SO₄²⁻)  = 1.07×10⁻¹⁰  / 1.3×10⁻² = 0.823 × 10⁻⁸ M

while Ksp(CaSO4)=7.10×10−5

CaSO₄ → Ca²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

7.10×10⁻⁵ = 2.0×10⁻² × ( SO₄²⁻)

( SO₄²⁻)  = 7.10×10⁻⁵  /  2.0×10⁻² = 3.55 × 10⁻³ M

comparing the concentration of sulfate ions, Ba²⁺ cation will precipitate first because the Ba²⁺ requires 0.823 × 10⁻⁸ M sodium sulfate which less compared the about needed by CaSO₄

What are the chemical properties of beryllium phosphide??
o-na [289]

Answer:

Forms ionic bonds, insoluble, doesn't participate in single or double displacement reactions, non-reactive, high heat of combustion

Explanation:

Beryllium is a metal, since it belongs to group 2A, the alkaline earth metals. It has a total of 2 valence electrons.

Phosphorus, on the other hand, belongs to group 5A and has a total of 5 valence electrons.

We have a compound which has a metal in it, therefore, it's an ionic compound. Beryllium, our metal, loses its 2 electrons to gain an octet and phosphorus, our nonmetal, should gain 3 electrons to have an octet. The oxidation states are +2 and -3 respectively. This means we need 3 beryllium cations and 2 phosphide anions in our formula Be_3P_2.

Beryllium phosphide would be expected to be insoluble, as only beryllium chloride, fluoride, nitrate, phosphate and sulfate are soluble substances, while the remaining ones are expected to be insoluble.

Due to its insolubility, beryllium phosphide would not participate in any ionic reactions, such as single displacement or double displacement.

Since it's insoluble, we expect this compound to be chemically stable and not reactive. This implies that if we wanted to burn it, the heat of combustion would be very high, as a lot of energy would be needed to be supplied in an endothermic reaction in order to burn it.

When magnesium chloride is formed what question will the student need to ask prior to writing the formula?
ivann1987 [24]

Prior to writing the chemical formula of magnesium chloride, a question which any student will need to ask is: A.  What are the oxidation numbers of each atom?

A chemical formula can be defined as a scientific notation that is used to show (represent) the type and total number of atoms that constitute a particular chemical molecule or compound, by using the oxidation number, chemical symbols and subscripts.

Hence, a student would need to know the oxidation numbers of each atom when magnesium chloride is formed after a chemical reaction.

In Chemistry, an oxidation number represents the number of electrons <u>gained</u> or <u>lost</u> by an atom of a chemical element during a chemical reaction.

In conclusion, when magnesium chloride is formed, a question which the student will need to ask prior to writing the chemical formula is "what are the oxidation numbers of each atom?"
