If 500.0 mL of 0.10 M Ca2+ is mixed with 500.0 mL of 0.10 M SO42−, what mass of calcium sulfate will precipitate? Ksp for CaSO4
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The mass of calcium sulfate that will precipitate is 6.14 grams

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

500.0 mL of 0.10 M Ca^2+ is mixed with 500.0 mL of 0.10 M SO4^2−

Ksp for CaSO4 is 2.40*10^−5

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate moles of Ca^2+

Moles of Ca^2+ = Molarity Ca^2+ * volume

Moles of Ca^2+ = 0.10 * 0.500 L

Moles Ca^2+ = 0.05 moles

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate moles of SO4^2-

Moles of SO4^2- = 0.10 * 0.500 L

Moles SO4^2- = 0.05 moles

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculate total volume

500.0 mL + 500.0 mL = 1000 mL = 1L

<u>Step 5: </u> Calculate Q

Q = [Ca2+] [SO42-]  

[Ca2+]= 0.050 M   [O42-]

Qsp = (0.050)(0.050 )=0.0025 >> Ksp

This means precipitation will occur

<u> Step 6:</u> Calculate molar solubility

Ksp = 2.40 * 10^-5 = [Ca2+][SO42-] =(x)(x)

2.40 * 10^-5 = x²

x = √(2.40 * 10^-5)

x = 0.0049 M = Molar solubility

<u> Step 7:</u> Calculate total CaSO4 dissolved

total CaSO4 dissolved = 0.0049 M * 1 L * 136.14 mol/L = 0.667 g

<u>Step 8:</u> Calculate initial mass of CaSO4

Since initial moles CaSo4 = 0.050

Initial mass of CaSO4 = 0.050 * 136.14 g/mol

Initial mass of CaSO4 = 6.807 grams

<u>Step 9:</u> Calculate mass precipitate

6.807 - 0.667 = 6.14 grams

The mass of calcium sulfate that will precipitate is 6.14 grams

The rate constant for the second-order reaction: 2NOBr(g) → 2NO(g) + Br2(g) is 0.80/(M · s) at 10°C. Starting with a concentrati
a_sh-v [17]

Answer : The concentration of NOBr after 95 s is, 0.013 M

Explanation :

The integrated rate law equation for second order reaction follows:

k=\frac{1}{t}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{[A]_o}\right)

where,

k = rate constant = 0.80M^{-1}s^{-1}

t = time taken  = 95 s

[A] = concentration of substance after time 't' = ?

[A]_o = Initial concentration = 0.86 M

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

0.80=\frac{1}{95}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{(0.86)}\right)

[A] = 0.013 M

Hence, the concentration of NOBr after 95 s is, 0.013 M

Anything in red is the question
laila [671]

Answer:

  • Question 19: the three are molecular compounds.
  • Question 20: CuSO₄.5H₂O

Explanation:

<em>Question 19.</em>

  • C₂H₄
  • HF
  • H₂O₂

All of them are the combination of two kinds of different atoms in fixed proportions.

  • C₂H₄: two carbon atoms per four hydrogen atoms
  • HF: one hydrogen atom per one fluorine atom
  • H₂O₂: two hydrogen atoms per two oxygent atoms

Thus, they all meet the definition of compund: a pure substance formed by  two or more different elements with a definite composition.

Molecular compounds are formed by covalent bonds and ionic compounds are formed by ionic bonds.

Two non-metal elements, like H-F, C - C, C - H, H-O, H - H, and O - O will share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their valence shell. Thus, the three compounds are molecular and not ionic.

<em>Question 20. </em>Formula of copper(II) sulfate hydrate with 36.0% water.

Copper(II) sulfate is CuSO₄. Its molar mass is 159.609g/mol

Water is H₂O. Its molar mass is 18.015g/mol

Calling x the number of water molecules in the hydrate, the percentage of water is:

       \dfrac{18.015x}{18.015x+159.609}=36\%\\ \\ \\ \dfrac{18.015x}{18.015x+159.609}=0.36

From which we can solve for x:

      18.015x=6.4854x+57.45924\\ \\ 11.5296x=57.45924\\ \\ x\approx4.98\approx5

Thus, there are 5 molecules of water per each unit of CuSO₄, and the formula is:

  • CuSO₄.5H₂O

A vial containing radioactive selenium-75 has an activity of 3.0 mCi/mL. If 2.6 mCi are required for a leukemia test, how many m
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer : The 866.66\mu L must be administered.

Solution :

As we are given that a vial containing radioactive selenium-75 has an activity of 3.0mCi/mL.

As, 3.0 mCi radioactive selenium-75 present in 1 ml

So, 2.6 mCi radioactive selenium-75 present in \frac{2.6mCi}{3.0mCi}\times 1ml=0.86666ml\times 1000=866.66\mu L

Conversion :

(1ml=1000\mu L)

Therefore, the 866.66\mu L must be administered.
