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.

Suppose a friend says that we don't need to worry about the rising temperatures associated with global climate change. Her claim
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Carbonic acid could be formed.

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on her claim, it would be a really useful strategy to prevent global warming, nevertheless, there would be a problem if a increasing amount of carbon dioxide is not buried at the bottom of the ocean yet it flows freely along the sea and probably reacting with the water, causing carbonic acid to be formed  and subsequently cutting back the sea's pH (increasing its acidity).

It would be useful, but a constant monitoring of the sea's pH must be needed because this could cause some species to be affected not only by the temperature but for the acid pH as well.

Best regards.

A sample of 0.3283 g of an ionic compound containing the bromide ion (Br−) is dissolved in water and treated with an excess of A
Pavel [41]

Answer:

92.49 %

Explanation:

We first calculate the number of moles n of AgBr in 0.7127 g

n = m/M where M = molar mass of AgBr = 187.77 g/mol and m = mass of AgBr formed = 0.7127 g

n = m/M = 0.7127g/187.77 g/mol = 0.0038 mol

Since 1 mol of Bromide ion Br⁻ forms 1 mol AgBr, number of moles of Br⁻ formed = 0.0038 mol and

From n = m/M

m = nM . Where m = mass of Bromide ion precipitate and M = Molar mass of Bromine = 79.904 g/mol

m = 0.0038 mol × 79.904 g/mol = 0.3036 g

% Br in compound = m₁/m₂ × 100%

m₁ = mass of Br in compound = m = 0.3036 g (Since the same amount of Br in the compound is the same amount in the precipitate.)

m₂ = mass of compound = 0.3283 g

% Br in compound = m₁/m₂ × 100% = 0.3036/0.3283 × 100% = 0.9249 × 100% = 92.49 %
