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>

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

<u>The standard enthalpy of reaction = -4854.7kJ</u>

<u>The difference: </u>ΔH-ΔE = Δ(PV) = Δn.R.T = <u>9910.288 J ≈ 9.91 kJ</u>    

Explanation:

<u>The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of heptane</u>:

C₇H₁₆ (l) + 11 O₂ (g) → 7 CO₂ (g) + 8 H₂O (l)

Given: The standard enthalpy of formation (\Delta H _{f}^{\circ }) for: C₇H₁₆ (l) = -187.8 kJ/mol, O₂ (g) = 0 kJ/mol, CO₂ (g) = -393.5 kJ/mol, H₂O (l) = -286 kJ/mol

<u>To calculate the standard enthalpy of reaction (\Delta H _{r}^{\circ }) can be calculated by the Hess's law</u>:

\Delta H _{r}^{\circ } = \left [\sum \nu \cdot\Delta H _{f}^{\circ }(products)  \right ] - \left [\sum \nu\cdot\Delta H _{f}^{\circ }(reactants)  \right ]

Here, \nu is the stoichiometric coefficient

⇒ \Delta H _{r}^{\circ } =

\left [ 7\times \Delta H _{f}^{\circ }\left (CO_{2}\right )+ 8\times \Delta H _{f}^{\circ }\left (H_{2}O \right )\right ]

- \left [1\times \Delta H _{f}^{\circ }\left (C_{7}H_{16}\right ) +11\times \Delta H _{f}^{\circ }\left (O_{2} \right ) \right ]

=\left [ 7\times \left (-393.5 kJ/mol \right )+ 8\times \left (-286 kJ/mol \right )\right ]

-\left [1\times \left (-187.8 kJ/mol \right ) +11\times \left (0 kJ/mol \right ) \right ]

⇒ \Delta H _{r}^{\circ } = \left [ \left (-2754.5 \right )+ \left (-2288 \right )\right ]\left -[ \left (-187.8 \right ) +\left (0 \right )\right ]

⇒ \Delta H _{r}^{\circ } = \left [ -5042.5 ]\left -[ -187.8] = \left ( -4854.7kJ \right )

<u>To calculate the difference: </u>ΔH-ΔE=Δ(PV)

We use the ideal gas equation: P.V = n.R.T

⇒ ΔH-ΔE=Δ(PV) = Δn.R.T

Given: Temperature:T = 298K, R = 8.314 J⋅K⁻¹⋅mol⁻¹

Δn = number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants = (7)- (11) = (-4)

⇒ ΔH-ΔE=Δ(PV) = Δn.R.T = (-4 mol) × (8.314 J⋅K⁻¹⋅mol⁻¹) × (298K) = <u>9910.288 J = 9.91 kJ</u>                              (∵ 1 kJ = 1000J )
