A solution containing CaCl2 is mixed with a solution of Li2C2O4 to form a solution that is 3.5 × 10-4 M in calcium ion and 2.33

× 10-4 M in oxalate ion. What will happen once these solutions are mixed?
A. A precipitate will form as calcium oxalate is not soluble to any extent.
B. A precipitate will form since Q > Ksp for calcium oxalate.
C. Nothing will happen since both calcium chloride and lithium oxalate are soluble compounds.
D. Nothing will happen Ksp > Q for all possible precipitants.

Answer:

B. A precipitate will form since Q > Ksp for calcium oxalate

Explanation:

Ksp of CaC₂O₄ is:

CaC₂O₄(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺ + C₂O₄²⁻

Where Ksp is defined as the product of concentrations of Ca²⁺ and C₂O₄²⁻ in equilibrium:

Ksp = [Ca²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = 2.27x10⁻⁹

In the solution, the concentration of calcium ion is 3.5x10⁻⁴M and concentration of oxalate ion is 2.33x10⁻⁴M.

Replacing in Ksp formula:

[3.5x10⁻⁴M][2.33x10⁻⁴M] = 8.155x10⁻⁸. This value is reaction quotient, Q.

If Q is higher than Ksp, the ions will produce the precipitate CaC₂O₄ until [Ca²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = Ksp.

Thus, right answer is:

<em>B. A precipitate will form since Q > Ksp for calcium oxalate</em>

Over the course of two years the top layer of soil at a Michigan farm is blown away
Colt1911 [192]

For each of the situations below, state whether it describes erosion, weathering, or possibly both.

Answer:

Erosion

Explanation:

The blowing away of the top layer of the soil at a Michigan farm is best described as scenario that shows wind erosion.

Erosion is the removal of the top layer of the earth on which plant grows. In short is the washing away of soil by stream or blowing away by wind.

When soil is blow away, it is a pure case of erosion. The process of erosion usually follows weathering or sometime occurs together with it.

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Often times, the process of weathering and erosion occurs together. It is loose weathering products that are carried away during erosion.

In the soil layer at Michigan, the process of erosion by wind is current taking place by ablation.

What is the difference between alkali metals and halogens?
Airida [17]
<h3>→soft and reactive metals. </h3>

Explanation:

<h3>Alkali metals are soft and reactive metals. They react vigorously with water and become more reactive. And other hand halogens are reactive non metals. ... Halogens can be solid, liquid, gaseous at room temperature and the melting point increase when they get bigger.</h3>

After Callie obtained her original results, she wanted to dig deeper. She determined that the germinating corn seed had utilized
Airida [17]

Answer:

Callie expect 600 molecules of CO2 to have been released as a waste during the same amount of time.

Explanation:

During cellular respiration 1 molecule of glucose undergoes oxidation to form 6 molecules of CO2 as a waste product.

     According to the question callie determined that the germinating corn seed had utilized 100 molecules of glucose.

    So 100 molecules of glucose will release 100×6=600 molecules of CO2 as a waste product.
