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.

How much sucrose (g) do you need to weight in order to prepare 19.16 g of a 13.1 % (weight percent) solution?
Nonamiya [84]
<span>2.51 grams
   You want to prepare 19.16 g of some solution which will have 13.1% of it's mass being sucrose. So we just need to perform some simple multiplication: 19.16g * 0.131 = 2.50996g
   Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 2.51 g.</span>

Which of the following is the correct balanced equation for the reaction in which methane (CH4) burns in atmospheric oxygen (0₂)
Talja [164]

Answer: \text{CH}_{4}+2\text{O}_{2} \longrightarrow \text{CO}_{2}+2\text{H}_{2}\text{O}

Explanation:

The unbalanced equation is

\text{CH}_{4}+\text{O}_{2} \longrightarrow \text{CO}_{2}+\text{H}_{2}\text{O}

Balancing this equation, we get:

\boxed{\text{CH}_{4}+2\text{O}_{2} \longrightarrow \text{CO}_{2}+2\text{H}_{2}\text{O}}

Given the balanced equation below, calculate the moles of aluminum that are needed to react completely with 13.2 moles of FeO?
irina [24]

The number of moles of aluminium  that are needed to react completely  with 13.2 moles of FeO  is  8.8 moles



calculation


2Al + 3FeO → 3aFe +Al2O3

by use of of mole ratio of Al: FeO  from  equation above = 2:3 the moles of  Al is  therefore

= 13.2  x  2/3=8.8  moles  of Al
