This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

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? Ksp (CaC₂O₄) = 2.3 × 10⁻⁹

A. Nothing will happen since both calcium chloride and lithium oxalate are soluble compounds.

B. Nothing will happen Ksp > Q for all possible precipitants.

C. A precipitate will form as calcium oxalate is not soluble to any extent.

D. A precipitate will form since Q > Ksp for calcium oxalate.

Answer : The correct option is, (D) A precipitate will form since Q > Ksp for calcium oxalate.

Explanation :

Concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ = $3.5\times 10^{-4}M$

Concentration of $C_2O_4^{2-}$ = $2.33\times 10^{-4}M$

The equilibrium chemical reaction will be:

$CaC_2O_4\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+C_2O_4^{2-}$

The solubility constant expression for this reaction is:

$K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][C_2O_4^{2-}]=2.3\times 10^{-9}$

Now we have to calculate the ionic product for calcium oxalate.

$Q_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][C_2O_4^{2-}]$

$Q_{sp}=(3.5\times 10^{-4})\times (2.33\times 10^{-4)$

$Q_{sp}=8.2\times 10^{-8}$

From this we conclude that, $Q_{sp}>K_{sp}$ that means a white solid precipitate of calcium oxalate will be formed when the solutions are mixed.

Hence, the correct option is, (D)

What is the heat of reaction (ΔH°rxn) for the combustion of acetone (C3H6O) given the following thermochemical equations? 1. 3 C

nydimaria [60]

Answer : The enthalpy of combustion of $C_3H_6O$ will be -1775 kJ

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The combustion of $C_3H_6O$ will be,

$C_3H_6O(l)+4O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+3H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_{comb}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) $3C(s)+3H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow C_3H_6O(l)$ $\Delta H_1=-285.0kJ$

(2) $C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-394.0kJ$

(3) $H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=-286.0kJ$

Now we are reversing the reaction 1, multiplying reaction 2 and 3 by 3 and then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) $C_3H_6O(l)\rightarrow 3C(s)+3H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=285.0kJ$

(2) $3C(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=3\times -394.0kJ=-1182.0kJ$

(3) $3H_2(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow 3H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=3\times -286.0kJ=-858.0kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of combustion of $C_3H_6O$ will be,

$\Delta H_{comb}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3+\Delta H_4$

$\Delta H_{comb}=(285.0)+(-1182.0)+(-858.0)$

$\Delta H_{comb}=-1755kJ$

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of $C_3H_6O$ will be -1775 kJ

Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Flura [38]

Answer:

c. An ionic bond is much stronger than most covalent bonds

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are interatomic bonds that forms as a result of electrostatic attraction between two ions. For an ionic bond to be formed, one atom must have lost or gained electron from another that is transferring it. Ionic bonds typically form between atoms whose electronegativity differences are far apart.

Ionic bonds are usually stronger than other types of bonds due to the electrostatic attraction between ions.

One very distinct feature about ionic compounds is that they are conductors of electricity in either molten or aqueous. At room temperature, they are solids and contains no mobile ions.

8. Which of the following pairs of elements is most likely to form an ionic compound?

elixir [45]

It’s not C.The answer is B.Because as you know,Ionic bonding is the electrostatic forces of attraction between the positive and negative ions.It is a transfer of electrons between the metals(positively charged ions) and non-metals (negatively charged ions)

—->As for this case,iron is a metal and oxygen is a non-metal based on the periodic table.Hence the answer is B.

Coal power plants burn large amounts of coal, c(s), in an o 2 (g) atmosphere to generate electricity. the chemical reaction re

charle [14.2K]

Answer is: volume of carbon dioxide is 1,84·10⁸ l.
Chemical reaction: C + O₂ → CO₂.
m(C) = 100 t · 1000 kg/t = 100000 kg
m(C) = 100000 kg · 1000 g/kg = 10⁸ g.
n(C) = m(C) ÷ M(C).
n(C) = 10⁸ g ÷ 12 g/mol.
n(C) = 8,33·10⁶ mol.
From chemical reaction: n(C) . n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.
n(CO₂) = 8,33·10⁶ mol.
m(CO₂) = 8,33·10⁶ mol · 44 g/mol.
m(CO₂) = 3,66·10⁸ = 3,66·10⁵ kg.
V(CO₂) = 3,66·10⁵ kg ÷ 1,98 kg/m³ = 1,84·10⁵ m³.
V(CO₂) = 1,84·10⁵ m³ · 1000 l/m³ = 1,84·10⁸ l.
