A solution containing a mixture of 0.0351 M potassium chromate ( K 2 CrO 4 ) and 0.0537 M sodium oxalate ( Na 2 C 2 O 4 ) was ti

trated with a solution of barium chloride ( BaCl 2 ) for the purpose of separating CrO 2 − 4 and C 2 O 2 − 4 by precipitation with the Ba 2 + cation. The solubility product constants ( K sp ) for BaCrO 4 and BaC 2 O 4 are 2.10 × 10 − 10 and 1.30 × 10 − 6 , respectively.

Answer:

Explanation:

As it was stated in the comments by other user, the question is incomplete but luckily it was posted the rest of the question, so, I'm gonna answer it with the data of that. If you have another questions there, please submit it again or put it in the comments.

<u>a) Which barium salt will precipite first?</u>

In order to know this, we need to take a look at the Ksp of both salts. The given Ksp are:

Ksp 1: 2.1x10^-10 (BaCrO4)

Ksp 2: 1.3x10^-6 (BaC2O4)

Now, we can see that Ksp1 < Ksp 2, but what's this Ksp value means? a Ksp value means that an aqueous solution will form a precipite (So the solid formed, it's not soluble in water), As Ksp 1 is a smaller value than Ksp2, means that the concentrations of Ba and CrO4 are too small, and therefore, it takes more time to precipite. <em>Therefore, the BaC2O4 will precipite first.</em>

<u>b) Concentration of Ba2+ present to BaCrO4 precipite</u>

In this, we know that the reaction taking place is the following:

BaCrO4(s) <--------> Ba^2+ + CrO4^2-   Ksp = 2.1x10^-10

The expression for Ksp is:

Ksp = [Ba][CrO4]

We know the concentration of CrO4 cause this comes from the K2CrO4 so, replacing here, we solve for Ba:

[Ba^2+] = Ksp / [CrO4^2-]

[Ba^2+] = 2.1x10^-10 / 0.0351

[Ba^2+] = 5.98x10^-9 M

<u>c) Concentration of Ba^2+ to reduce 10% oxalate concentration</u>

The 10% concentration of oxalate is:

[C2O4] = 0.0537 * 0.1 = 0.00537 M

So, we do the same thing we did in part b) but solving for C2O4:

BaC2O4(s) <--------> Ba^2+ + C2O4^2-   Ksp = 1.3x10^-6

[Ba^2+] = 1.3x10^-6 / 0.00537

[Ba^2+] = 2.42x10^-4 M

<u>d) ratio of oxalate and chromate when Ba concentration is 0.005 M</u>

In this case, we calculate concentration of CrO4 and C2O4 with the value of Ba and it's respective Ksp, and then, calculate the ratio:

[CrO4^2-] = Ksp1 / [Ba^2+] = 2.1x10^-10 / 0.0050 = 4.2x10^-8 M

[C2O4^2-] = Ksp2 / [Ba^2+] = 1.3x10^-6 / 0.0050 = 2.6x10^-4 M

So the ratio is:

[C2O4^2-] / [CrO4^2-] = 2.6x10^-4 / 4.2x10^-8

[C2O4^2-] / [CrO4^2-] = 6.19x10^3

Ordinary water boils at 100°C. Can it be made to boil at 95°C or 105°C.​
slava [35]

It can be done. Normally the boiling point of water is 100°C. It will boil at temperature greater than 100°C more quickly. Water can be boiled at 95°C but for that the atmospheric pressure of the water should be decreased which will decrease the boiling point of water.

<h3>Concept :</h3>

To boil water at 95°C, decrease the atmospheric pressure.

At 105°C, the water will be boiling quickly than normal at 100°C.

Explain why different liquids boil at the different temperatures
Gennadij [26K]

The boiling point of the fluid depends on the intermolecular forces between the fluid atoms and molécules, as these forces must be disrupted to switch from a fluid to a gas. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the greater the point of boiling.

How do chemical weathering and physical weathering affect each other?
Zinaida [17]
Both processes occur in place. No movement is involved in weathering. Chemical weathering involves a chemical change in at least some of the minerals within a rock. Mechanical weathering involves physically breaking rocks into fragments without changing the chemical make-up of the minerals within it.
