A solution contains 0.25 M Ni(NO3)2 and 0.25 M Cu(NO3)2. Can the metal ions be separated by slowly adding Na2CO3? Assume that fo

r successful separation 99% of the metal ion must be precipitated before the other metal ion begins to precipitate, and assume no volume change on addition of Na2CO3.

Explanation:

Ksp of NiCO3 = 1.4 x 10^-7

Ksp of CuCO3 = 2.5 x 10^-10

Ionic equations:

NiCO3 --> Ni2+ + CO3^2-

CuCO3 --> Cu2+ + CO3^2-

[Cu2+][CO3^2-]/[Ni2+][CO3^2-]

= (2.5* 10^-10)/(1.4* 10^-7)

= 0.00179.

[Cu2+]/[Ni2+]

= 0.00179

= 0.00179*[Ni2+]

If all of Cu2+ is precipitated before Na2CO3 is added.

= 0.00179 * (0.25)

The amount of Cu2+ not precipitated = 0.000448 M

The percent of Cu2+ precipitated before the NiCO3 precipitates = concentration of Cu2+ unprecipitated/initial concentration of Cu2+ * 100

= 0.000448/0.25 * 100

= 0.18%

Therefore, percentage precipitated = 100 - 0.18

= 99.8%

The two metal ions can be separated by slowly adding Na2CO3. Thus that is the unpptd Cu2+.

What is the total energy required to break all the bonds in 1 mol propanol,<br> C3H8O?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The total energy to break all the bonds in 1 mole of 1-propanol, C₃H₈O, is 4411 kJ/mol

Explanation:

We note that propanol, C₃H₈O is also known as 1-propanol is written as follows;

CH₃CH₂CH₂OH which gives

CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-OH

Hence, the total number of bonds are;

C-H Bonds = 3 + 2 + 2 = 7

C-O Bonds = 1

O-H Bond = 1

C-C Bonds = 2

The bond energies are as follows;

C-H Bonds = 413 kJ/mol

C-O Bonds = 358 kJ/mol

O-H Bond = 468 kJ/mol

C-C Bonds = 347 kJ/mol

Energy required to break the bonds in 1-propanol is therefore;

C-H Bonds = 413 kJ/mol × 7 = 2,891 kJ/mol

C-O Bonds = 358 kJ/mol × 1 = 358 kJ/mol

O-H Bond = 468 kJ/mol × 1 = 468 kJ/mol

C-C Bonds = 347 kJ/mol × 2 = 694 kJ/mol

The total energy to break all the bonds in 1 mole of 1-propanol = 4411 kJ/mol.

Which option describes the behavior of energy in exothermic reactions?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants, so energy is released into the surrounding environment.

Aqueous solutions of sodium sulfate and potassium chloride are mixed. What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed?
hammer [34]

Answer:

The two products of this reaction, Sodium Chloride and Potassium Sulfate, are both soluble in water, hence, there's no precipitate formed from this reaction.

Explanation:

Sodium sulfate is Na₂So₄

Potassium Chloride is KCl

When they both react, theres a double displacement where ions and radicals are exchanged

Na₂SO₄ + KCl → NaCl + K₂SO₄

The products are

NaCl - Sodium Chloride

K₂SO₄ - Potassium Sulfate

The two products are soluble in water, hence, there's no precipitate formed from this reaction.

And we would need numerical values of the number of moles of the two reactants mixed to obtain the number of moles of products formed and then the number of molecules from Avogadro's constant.

Hope this Helps!!!
