No. Sodium and Potassium are both alkali metals and electrolytes are almost equal. You need different electronegativities to make an ionic compound.

When each of the following pairs of aqueous solutions is mixed, does a precipitation reaction occur? If so, write balanced molec

Aleks04 [339]

Yes, a precipitation process does take place here. BaCO₃ and KOH are the byproducts of this double displacement reaction, and since BaCO₃ is soluble in solution, it precipitates as a solid.

Molecular: Ba(NO₃)₂(aq) + K₂CO₃(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + 2NO₃¯(aq) + BaCO₃(s) ⬇︎

The complete ionic reaction can be written as follows:

Ba²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃¯(aq) + 2K⁺(aq) + CO₃²¯(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + 2NO₃¯(aq) + BaCO₃(s) ⬇︎

All the ions in solution have been written out. Now, on to the net ionic equation:

Ba²⁺(aq) + CO₃²¯(aq) → BaCO₃(s) ⬇︎

<h3>what is precipitation?</h3>

Any liquid or frozen water that condenses in the atmosphere and falls to the ground is known as precipitation. Snow, sleet, and rain are just a few of the variations. One of the three main processes that make up the global water cycle is precipitation, along with evaporation and condensation.

Water vapor in the clouds condenses into increasing-sized droplets of water, forming precipitation. Droplets fall to the Earth when they are sufficiently heavy. The water droplets may freeze to produce ice if a cloud is colder, as it would be at higher elevations. Depending on the temperature within the cloud and at the Earth's surface, these ice crystals eventually discharge to the Earth as snow, hail, or rain.

A 5.32 g mixture contains both lithium fluoride, LiF, and potassium fluoride, KF. If the mixture contains 3.12 g fluorine, what

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The mass of KF in the mixture is 2.77 gms.

Explanation:

Given;

Total weight of mixture (LiF+KF)=5.32gms

Let, mass of KF in the mixture = x gms

⟹ mass of LiF in mixture =(5.32-x)gms.

We know that :

Atomic weight of F=19gms.

Atomic weight of Li =7gms.

Atomic weight of K = 39 gms.

moles=mass/(molecular weight)

Thus, moles of KF=x/58

and moles of LiF = (5.97-x)/26LiF=(5.97−x)/26

Thus,

moles of F in KF=moles of KF=x/58 ---(1)

moles of F in LiF =moles of LiF= (5.32-x)/26---(2)

From (1) & (2),

Total moles of Fluorine

=(x/58)+((5.32-x)/26)

Hence,

total weight of Fluorine in sample = moles*Atomic weight

=((x/58)+((5.32-x)/26))*19gms.

=3.12 gms.---(given)

Now, solving the equation for x,

26x +(5.32*58)-58x

=3.12*58*26/19

22x=308.56-247.62

x=60.94/22

=2.77 gms. (Answer)

Thus, the mass of KF in the mixture is 2.77 gms.

Air has a mass of 1.2g and a volume of 4,555ml. What is the density

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

<h2>Density = 0.00026 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

<h3> $Density(\rho) = \frac{mass}{volume}$ </h3>

From the question

mass of air = 1.2 g

volume = 4,555 mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the density

That's

<h3> $Density = \frac{1.2}{4555}$ </h3>

= 0.0002634

We have the final answer as

<h3>Density = 0.00026 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is primarily dissolved CO2. Dissolved CO2 satisfies the equilibri

lorasvet [3.4K]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

$CO_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq) + HCO^{-}_{3}(aq)$

Calculate the amount of $CO_{2}$ dissolved as follows.

$CO_{2}(aq) = K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}$

It is given that $K_{CO_{2}}$ = 0.032 M/atm and $P_{CO_{2}}$ = $1.9 \times 10^{-4}$ atm.

Hence, $[CO_{2}]$ will be calculated as follows.

$[CO_{2}]$ = $K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}$

= $0.032 M/atm \times 1.9 \times 10^{-4}atm$

= $0.0608 \times 10^{-4}$

or, = $0.608 \times 10^{-5}$

It is given that $K_{a} = 4.46 \times 10^{-7}$

As, $K_{a} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{[CO_{2}]}$

$4.46 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{0.608 \times 10^{-5}}$

$[H^{+}]^{2}$ = $2.71 \times 10^{-12}$

$[H^{+}]$ = $1.64 \times 10^{-6}$

Since, we know that pH = $-log [H^{+}]$

So, pH = $-log (1.64 \times 10^{-6})$

= 5.7

Therefore, we can conclude that pH of water in equilibrium with the atmosphere is 5.7.

How many grams of PH3 will be produced if 6.0 l of H2 are used?

elena-s [515]

Mass of PH3= 6.086 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

6.0 L of H2

Required

mass of PH3

Solution

Reaction

P4 + 6H2 → 4PH3

Assumed at STP ( 1 mol gas=22.4 L)

Mol of H2 for 6 L :

= 6 : 22.4 L

= 0.268

From the equation, mol PH3 :

= 4/6 x moles H2

= 4/6 x 0.268

= 0.179

Mass PH3 :

= 0.179 x 33,99758 g/mol

= 6.086 g
