Balanced chemical reaction: 2K(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H₂(g).

KOH is inorganic compound p<span>otassium hydroxide, a strong base.
H</span>₂ is hydrogen gas.
In balanced chemical reaction number of atoms on both side of chemical reaction must be same. There are two potassium atoms, four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on both side of reaction.

If 40.0 mL of a calcium nitrate solution reacts with excess potassium carbonate to yield 0.524 grams of a precipitate, what is t

tankabanditka [31]

Answer : The molarity of calcium ion on the original solution is, 0.131 M

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$Ca(NO_3)_2+K_2CO_3\rightarrow CaCO_3+3KNO_3$

When calcium nitrate react with potassium carbonate to give calcium carbonate as a precipitate and potassium nitrate.

First we have to calculate the moles of $CaCO_3$

$\text{Moles of }CaCO_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }CaCO_3}{\text{Molar mass of }CaCO_3}$

Given:

Mass of $CaCO_3$ = 0.524 g

Molar mass of $CaCO_3$ = 100 g/mol

$\text{Moles of }CaCO_3=\frac{0.524}{100g/mol}=0.00524mol$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $CaCO_3$

$\text{Concentration of }CaCO_3=\frac{\text{Moles of }CaCO_3}{\text{Volume of solution}}=\frac{0.00524mol}{0.040L}=0.131M$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of calcium ion.

As, calcium carbonate dissociate to give calcium ion and carbonate ion.

$CaCO_3\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}$

So,

Concentration of calcium ion = Concentration of $CaCO_3$ = 0.131 M

Thus, the concentration or molarity of calcium ion on the original solution is, 0.131 M
