Answer:
According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants will be equal to the mass of the products.
Explanation:
Answer:
The answer is most likely compound a
Explanation:
Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points and conduct electricity poorly
Answer:
The equilibrium expression is:
CoC2O4(s)⇌Co2+(aq)+C2O2−4(aq)
For this reaction:
Ksp = [Co2+][C2O2−4]=1.96×10−8
Explanation:
Batteries will not clot if cobalt ions are removed from its cells. Some blood collection tubes contain salts of the oxalate ion,
C2O2−4
, for this purpose. At sufficiently high concentrations, the calcium
and oxalate ions form solid, CoC2O4·H2O (which also contains water bound in the solid). The concentration of Co2+ in a sample of blood serum is 2.2 × 10–3M. What concentration of
C2O2−4
ion must be established before CoC2O4·H2O begins to precipitate.
CoC2O4 does not appear in this expression because it is a solid. Water does not appear because it is the solvent.
Solid CoC2O4 does not begin to form until Q equals Ksp. Because we know Ksp and [Co2+], we can solve for the concentration of
C2O2−4
that is necessary to produce the first trace of solid:
