You are given an aqueous solution and are asked to analyze it for the presence (or absence) of Ag+(aq), Ca2+(aq), and/or Hg2+(aq

) ions. There are no other metal ions in the solution.  You add aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl) to the solution, and nothing appears to happen.  You add aqueous sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to the solution, and a white precipitate forms.  You remove (via filtration) the white precipitate, and then add aqueous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to the solution that remains. A black precipitate forms. Based on these observations, which ions are present in the original solution? (a) Ag+(aq), Ca2+(aq), and Hg2+(aq) (b) only Ag+(aq) and Hg2+(aq) (c) only Ca2+(aq) and Hg2+(aq) (d) only Ag+(aq) and Ca2+(aq) (e) only Hg2+(aq)

Answer:

(c) only Ca2+(aq) and Hg2+(aq)

Explanation:

  • In the first step, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to the solution. In this case the equilibrium that could take place is:

Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) ↔ AgCl(s)

But no precipitate was formed, so Ag⁺(aq) is absent.

  • By adding H₂SO₄(aq) the next equilibrium that could take place is:

Ca⁺²(aq) + SO₄⁻²(aq)  ↔ CaSO₄(s)

A white precipitate was formed, so Ca⁺² is present in the solution.

  • The following could take place after adding H₂S(aq):

Hg²⁺(aq) + S⁻² ↔ HgS(s)

A black precipitate formed, so Hg⁺² is present as well.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

5.15 moles

Explanation:

2zn + o2 = 2zno

5.15 2.57 5.15 moles

nzno=500/(16x2+65)= 5.15 moles

-> nzn = 5.15 x 2 ÷ 2 = 5.15 moles

Briefly describe any example of an endothermic reaction and also mention the word equation
emmainna [20.7K]

Explanation:

\huge{\underbrace{\overbrace{\mathfrak{\pink{Answer:}}}}}

Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions in which the reactants absorb heat energy from the surroundings to form products. These reactions lower the temperature of their surrounding area, thereby creating a cooling effect. Physical processes can be endothermic as well – Ice cubes absorb heat energy from their surroundings and melt to form liquid water (no chemical bonds are broken or formed).

When a chemical bond is broken, it is usually accompanied by a release of energy. Similarly, the formation of chemical bonds requires an input of energy. The energy supplied/released can be of various forms (such as heat, light, and electricity). Endothermic reactions generally involve the formation of chemical bonds through the absorption of heat from the surroundings. On the other hand, exothermic reactions involve the release of heat energy generated from bond-breakage.

Endothermic Reaction Examples

Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), an important component in instant cold packs, dissociates into the ammonium cation (NH4+) and the nitrate anion (NO3–) when dissolved in water
