An environmental scientist developed a new analytical method for the determination of cadmium (cd^2+) in mussels. To validate th

e method, the researcher measured the Cd^2+ concentration in standard reference material (SRM) 2976 that is known to contain 0.82 plusminus 0.16 ppm Cd^2+. Five replicate measurements of the SRM were obtained using the new method, giving values of 0.782, 0.762, 0.825, 0.838, and 0.761 ppm Cd^2+. Calculate the mean (Bar x), standard deviation (s_x), and the 95% confidence interval for this data set. At list of t values can be found in the student's t table. X Bar = s_x = 95% confidence interval = x Bar plusminus Does the new method give a result that differs from the known result of the SRM at the 95% confidence level?

Answer:

The method is accurate  in the calculation of the Cu^+2

Explanation:

As a first step we have to calculate the <u>average concentration </u>of Cu^+2 find it by the method.

\frac{0.782+0.762+0.825+0.838+0.761 }{5} =0.79 ppm

Then we have to find the<u> standard deviation:</u>

s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{N-1}\sum_{i=1}^N(x_i-\bar{x})^2}=0.0359

For the confidence interval we have to use the formula:

μ=Average±\frac{t*s}{\sqrt{n} }

Where:

t=t student constant with 95 % of confidence and 5 data=2.78

μ= 0.79  ±  \frac{2.78*0.0359}{\sqrt{5} }

upper limit:  0.84

lower limit: 0.75

If we compare the limits of the value obtanied by the method (Figure 1 Red line) with the reference material (Figure 1 blue line) we can see that the values obtained by the method are within the values suggested by the reference material. So, it's method is accurate.

Melting is a process where a solid such as ice turns into liquid or water. The molecules of ice slowly moves and becomes unstable as they gain energy. As this energy builds up, kinetic energy increases and the intermolecular forces react because of this energy.Thank you for your question. Please don't hesitate to ask in Brainly your queries.

How many grams of aluminum oxide will you need to start with in order to make 6500 g of aluminum hydroxide?
kherson [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

2Al(s) + 3 2 O2(g) → Al2O3(s) And given the stoichiometry ...and EXCESS dioxygen gas...we would get 6.25⋅ mol of alumina. the which represents a mass... ...6.25 ⋅ mol ×101.96 ⋅ g ⋅ mol−1 molar mass of alumina ≡ 637.25 ⋅ g.

Apresentando a configuração eletrônica 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4 um determinado elemento químico se mostra com forte tendência para:
Bess [88]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

To know what will happen, we need to know

the total number of electrons the element have.

This can be calculated by adding all the electrons together

That would be 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 4 = 16

This shows that the element is sulphur.

Now using the KLMN electronic configuration, sulphur has the shells 2,8,6 meaning there are 2 extra electrons needed for octet configuration to be achieved.

This makes option E the correct answer to the question

Explain why lime is added to lakes. Refer to the problem that exists and what lime does to the lakes.
Darya [45]

Explanation:

Lime is an oxide of calcium(CaO). As a metallic oxide, it produces a basic solution when it reacts with water.

  • The main reason why lime is added to lakes is to reduce acidity in the lake water.

      Bottom muds in lakes are usually acidic and makes the water hypertonic. When lime is added, it reduces the pH of the water and causes acidity to reduce.

  • Lime also helps to reduce the hardness of lake water to a good level.
  • Lime also helps to release nutrients useful for photosynthesis of plants in the lake.

Ca(OH)₂(s) precipitates when a 1.0 g sample of CaC₂(s) is added to 1.0 L of distilled water at room temperature. If a 0.064 g sa
Alex

Answer:

D) Ca(OH)₂ will not precipitate because Q <  Ksp

Explanation:

This is a question in which we will employ the reaction quotient Q to determine whether a precipitate will form.

Here we have first a chemical reaction in which Ca(OH)₂  is produced:

CaC₂(s)  + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂

Ca(OH)₂  is slightly soluble, and depending on its concentration it may precipitate out of solution.

The solubility product  constant for Ca(OH)₂  is:

Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇆ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

Ksp = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

and the reaction quotient Q:

Q = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

So by comparing Q with Ksp we will be able to determine if a precipitate will form.

From the stoichiometry of the reaction we know the number of moles of hydroxide produced, and since the volume is 1 L the molarity will also be known.

mol Ca(OH)₂ = mol CaC₂( reacted = 0.064 g / 64 g/mol = 0.001 mol Ca(OH)₂

Thus the concentration of ions will be:

[Ca²⁺ ] = 0.001 mol / L 0.001 M

[OH⁻] = 2 x 0.001 M  = 0.002 M  ( From the coefficient 2 in the equilibrium)

Now we can calculate the reaction quotient.

Q=  [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]² = 0.001 x (0.002)² = 4.0 x 10⁻⁹

Q < Ksp since 4.0 x 10⁻⁹ < 8.0 x 10⁻⁸

Therefore no precipitate will form.

The answer that matches is (D)
