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>

Enter the ions formed when (NH4)2S dissolves in water.
lisabon 2012 [21]

The ions formed are NH4(+) and S(2-)

The dissolution reaction of (NH4) 2S in water is as follows:


(NH4) 2S ==> 2 NH4 (+) + S (2-).



Ammonium sulfide is the ammonium salt of hydrogen sulfide. It has the formula (NH4) 2S and belongs to the sulfide family.


It is a relatively unstable compound (crystals decomposing at -18 ° C, but exists and is more stable in aqueous solution.) With a pKa exceeding 15, the hydrosulfide ion cannot be significantly deprotonated by ammonia. Thus, such solutions consist mainly of a mixture of ammonia and hydrosulphide of ammonium, it has a smell, close to that of hydrogen sulfide, and its aqueous solutions can be precisely by emitting H2S.

Is there law of conversation of Volume? If two different liquids say you take 100ml of liquid A and 100 ml of liquid B and mix t
victus00 [196]

Answer:

200 mL

Explanation:

You simply add the volumes :) If this was a case that involved titration, you would use the formula M1V1 = M2V2. I do not know if that is what you were referring to but based on the information you gave, you simply add the two volumes.

Determine the number of moles of C5H12 that are contained in 357.4 g of the compound.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer: 4.96 moles

Explanation:

C5H12 is the chemical formula for pentane, the fifth member of the alkane family.

Given that,

number of moles of C5H12 = ?

Mass in grams = 357.4 g

Molar mass of C5H12 = ?

To get the molar mass of C5H12, use the atomic mass of carbon = 12g; and Hydrogen = 1g

i.e C5H12 = (12 x 5) + (1 x 12)

= 60g + 12g

= 72g/mol

Now, apply the formula

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 357.4g / 72g/mol

= 4.96 moles

Thus, 4.96 moles of C5H12 that are contained in 357.4 g of the compound.
