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.

Calculate the mass (in grams) of 8.56 moles of sulfur.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

275g

Explanation:

Depending on the molar mass you are given, you can use that to solve this.

(I'm going based on my science class' molar mass of sulphur being 32.07g/mol)

Starting off, the formula for finding moles is

n=m/M (moles = mass / molar mass)

We can manipulate this equation to solve for mass.

m=Mn

now fill in what we now.

m = 32.07*8.56

mass = 274.5192

Now round for significant digits (if you are needed to do)

mass = 275g

Two substances A and B, initially at different temperatures, are thermally isolated from their surroundings and allowed to come
Elden [556K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

For solving this we need a heat balance

Q_{a} = Q_{b}\\m_{a}*C_{a}*\Delta T_{a} = m_{b}*C_{b}*\Delta T_{b}

By changing the corresponding relations, we have

m_{a}*C_{a}*\Delta T_{a} = \frac{1}{2}m_{a}*4C_{a}*\Delta T_{b} \\\\\\

By cancelling similar factor, we obtain

\Delta T_{a} = 2 \Delta T_{b}\\\frac{\Delta T_{a}}{\Delta T_{b}} = 2\\

Which means that the change of temperature in A is twice the change of B
