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>

60 grams of ice will require _____ calories to raise the temperature 1°C.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

60 grams of ice will require 30.26 calories to raise the temperature 1°C.

Explanation:

The amount of heat (Q) to raise the temperature of 60.0 g of ice by 1°C can be calculated from:

<em>Q = m.c.ΔT,</em>

where, Q is the amount of heat released or absorbed by the system.

m is the mass of the ice (m = 60.0 g).

c is the specific heat capacity of ice (c = 2.108 J/g.°C).

ΔT is the temperature difference (ΔT = 1.0 °C).

∴ Q = m.c.ΔT = (60.0 g)(2.108 J/g.°C)(1.0 °C) = 126.48 J.

<em>It is known that 1.0 cal = 4.18 J.</em>

<em>∴ Q = (126.48 J)(1.0 cal / 4.18 J) = 30.26 cal.</em>

Electrons in conductors, like copper wire, are free to roam throughout the metal in the presence of the ions that have released
Scrat [10]

Answer:

  • <u><em>No, I would not consider a metal to be a plasma because plasma is just another state of matter, and the copper wire is in solid state.</em></u>

Explanation:

Metal is not a state of matter. Metals can be solid or liquid (molten) depending on their melting point and the temperature at which they are.

Plasma is a state of matter, similar to gas, but it is reached only at very high temperatures like in the Sun. The particles in plasma state are not neutral atoms or molecules but negatively charged  ions and electrons.

The copper wire is yet a solid, thus it cannot be considered a plasma.

Metals can be in plasma state only if the temperature is too high, like the temperatures in the stars. In fact, the metals in the Sun and other hotter stars are in plasma state.
