2. A solution is 0.01 M in Ba2+ and 0.01 M in Ca2+. Sodium sulfate is added to selectively precipitate one of the cations, while

leaving the other in solution. a) Given that BaSO4 and CaSO4 have Ksp values of 1.07 x 10-10 and 7.10 x 10-5 respectively, which cation will precipitate first? Explain why. b) What is the minimum concentration of SO42⁻ that will trigger the precipitation of the cation that precipitates first?

Answer:

Explanation:

The solution contain  0.01 M concentration of Ba²⁺

0.01M concentration of Ca²⁺

Ksp ( solubility constant) for BaSO₄ = 1.07 × 10⁻¹⁰

Ksp for CaSO₄ = 7.10 × 10⁻⁵

(BaSO₄) = (Ba²⁺) (SO₄²⁻)

1.07 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 0.01 M (SO₄²⁻)

1.07 × 10⁻¹⁰ / 0.01 = ( SO₄²⁻)

1.07 × 10⁻⁸ M = ( SO₄²⁻)

so the minimum of concentration of concentration sulfate needed is 1.07 × 10⁻⁸ M

For CaSO₄

CaSO₄ = ( Ca²⁺) (  SO₄²⁻)

7.10 × 10⁻⁵  = 0.01 (SO₄²⁻)

(SO₄²⁻) = 7.10 × 10⁻⁵   / 0.01 = 7.10 × 10⁻³ M

so BaSO₄ will precipitate first since its cation (0.01 M Ba²⁺) required a less concentration of SO₄²⁻ (1.07 × 10⁻⁸ M ) compared to CaSO₄

b) The minimum concentration of SO₄²⁻ that will trigger the precipitation of the cation ( 0.01 M Ba²⁺) that precipitates first is 1.07 × 10⁻⁸ M

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

a. Are miscible because each can hydrogen bond with the other.

Explanation:

Both ethanol and water are miscible. The reason why they can both mix freely is due to the hydrogen bonds that will form between their molecular structure.

Hydrogen bonds are special dipole-dipole attraction between polar molecules in which hydrogen atoms are directly joined to an electronegative atom.

Ethanol has an hydroxyl group which will bond to form an intermolecular bond with the oxygen and hydrogen on the water molecule. This attraction makes them miscible.

The gasses in a hair spray can are at temperature 300k and a pressure of 30 atm, it
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

900 K

Explanation:

Recall the ideal gas law:

\displaystyle PV = nRT

Because only pressure and temperature is changing, we can rearrange the equation as follows:
\displaystyle \frac{P}{T} = \frac{nR}{V}

The right-hand side stays constant. Therefore:

\displaystyle \frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}

The can explodes at a pressure of 90 atm. The current temperature and pressure is 300 K and 30 atm, respectively.

Substitute and solve for <em>T</em>₂:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \frac{(30\text{ atm})}{(300\text{ K})} & = \frac{(90\text{ atm})}{T_2} \\ \\ T_2 & = 900\text{ K}\end{aligned}

Hence, the temperature must be reach 900 K.
