The Ksp can be used to find the concentration of hydroxide ions, and thus determine the pH given a concentration of of aluminum.

At what pH will precipitation of Al(OH)3 begin if 6.70 lb of aluminum sulfate, Al2(SO4)3, is added to 2050 gallons of water (with a negligible change in volume)?

Answer:

3.9.

Explanation:

(Molar mass of 342.15 g/mol).

The first thing to do in this question is to coverts our units. We are given 6.70 lb = 453.592 × 6.70 lb = 3039.0664 g of aluminum sulfate.

2050 gallons of water = 2050 × 3.785 = 7759.25 Litres.

After this we will now look for the Concentration aluminum sulfate using the formula below:

Concentration = number of moles ÷ volume. ------------------------------------(1).

Recall; Number of moles = 3039.0664/ 342.15 = 8.8823 moles. The volume = 2050 gallons = 7759.25 Litres.

Therefore, slotting in the values of of number of moles and volume into the equation (1) above, we have;

Concentration= 8.8823 moles/ 7759.25 Litres. = 0.001145 M.

The next equation we are going to make use of today is that of the solubilty product that is;

Ksp = (Al^3+) (OH^-)^3.

So, we have the ksp = 1.3 × 10^-33 and the value of (Al^3+)= 0.001145 M.

Hence, making (OH^-) the subject of the formula;

(OH^-) = ( 1.3 × 10^-33 / 0.001145)^1/3.

(OH^-) = 8 × 10^-11 M.

Hence, pOH = - log (OH^-)

pOH = - log (8 × 10^-11).

pOH = 10.1

Therefore, the values of pH is; 1

pH + pOH = 14.

pH = 14 - 10.1 = 3.9.

A 1.555-g sample of baking soda decomposes with heat to produce 0.991 g Na2CO3. Refer to Example Exercise 14.l and show the calc
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a) 101%

b)59.7%

Explanation:

The equation for the thermal decomposition of baking soda is shown;

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

Number of moles of baking soda= mass/molar mass= 1.555g/84.007 g/mol = 0.0185 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of baking soda yields 1 mole of sodium carbonate

0.0185 moles of baking soda will yield = 0.0185 moles ×1 /2 = 9.25 ×10^-3 moles of sodium carbonate.

Therefore, mass of sodium carbonate= 9.25 ×10^-3 moles × 106gmol-1= 0.9805 g of sodium carbonate. This is the theoretical yield of sodium carbonate.

%yield = actual yield/theoretical yield ×100

% yield = 0.991/0.9805 ×100

%yield = 101%

Since ;

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

And H2O + CO2 ---> H2CO3

Hence I can write, 2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2CO3

Molar mass of H2CO3= 62.03 gmol-1

Molar mass of baking soda= 84 gmol-1

Therefore, mass of baking soda=

0.325/62.03 × 2 × 84 = 0.88 g of NaHCO3

% of NaHCO3= 0.88/1.473 × 100 = 59.7%

PLA is a bioplastic that is biodegradable. Explain how is is created and why it is biodegradable.
Ratling [72]

Explanation:

<h3>PLA is a polyester produced by fermentation under controlled conditions of a carbohydrate source like corn starch or sugarcane. ... The starch is then mixed with acid or enzymes and heated. This process “breaks” starch into dextrose (D-glucose), or corn sugar.</h3>

<h3>PLA is a polymer made from high levels of polylactic acid molecules. </h3><h3>For PLA to biodegrade, you must break up the polymer by adding </h3><h3>water to it (a process known as hydrolyzing). Heat and moisture are required for hydrolyzing to occur.</h3>

<h3>PLA consists of renewable raw materials and is biodegradable in industrial composting plants. </h3><h3>However, due to the lack of infrastructure, it is difficult to </h3><h3>compost PLA industrially or to</h3><h3> recycle it.</h3>

According to Pascal's principle, how does pressure from a hand squeezing a ketchup bottle move throughout the ketchup?
Pepsi [2]

- According to Pascal’s principle, for a certain fluid in a totally enclosed system, a change in pressure at a given point in the fluid is transferred to all points in the fluid, as well as to the enclosing walls.

- This is illustrated by the fact that the pressure inside an enclosed system is the same according to the relation [ pressure = force/area ]. Therefore, the change in pressure resulting from squeezing a ketchup bottle will be transferred equally to all parts of that bottle as well as its internal content.

- That’s how hydraulic machines, such as garbage trucks and hydraulic lifts function..
