The buffer solution is used to control the pH to insure that it does not become too high because excessively basic solutions cou

ld cause the corresponding hydroxides of hard metal ions (such as Ca(OH)2 and Mg(OH)2) to precipitate. Using the calcium ion as a typical representative, just how high a pH do you think could be considered as "too high" for a solution with a hardness of about 250 ppm CaCO3? Ksp for Ca(OH)2 is 6.5 x 10-6.

Answer:

pH = 12.7

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the [Ca²⁺] in a solution of about 250 ppm CaCO₃.

\frac{250mgCaCO_{3}}{L} .\frac{1gCaCO_{3}}{1000mgCaCO_{3}} .\frac{1molCa^{2+} }{100gCaCO_{3}} =2.5 \times 10^{-3} M

Now, let's consider the dissolution of Ca(OH)₂ in water.

Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

The solubility product Ksp is:

Ksp = [Ca²⁺] × [OH⁻]²

[OH⁻] = √(Ksp/[Ca²⁺]) = √(6.5 × 10⁻⁶/2.5 × 10⁻³) = 5.1 × 10⁻² M

Finally, we can calculate pOH and pH.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log (5.1 × 10⁻²) = 1.3

pH + pOH = 14 ⇒ pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1.3 = 12.7

The table above shows the number of protons in an Adam of four different elements according to the periodic table which of these
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is X</u>

<u />

Explanation:

First have some idea about : Valency , Metals and non- metals.

Valency : It is the combining capacity of elements . The elements combine to other elements to gain stability . They always try to complete their octet(8 electrons in the outermost shell)

For Example : Na has 11 electron

Its electronic configuration is : 2 ,8 ,1 (2+8+1 = 11)

First shell contain maximum = 2 electron

2nd shell = maximum 8 electron

3 shell = maximum 18 electron

When it remove 1 electron from outermost shell , it is left with 2 ,8 configuration. Now , its outer most shell has 8 electron . so it get stable and show +1 valency.

When the element looses electron , it get positive charge

When the element gain electron it get negative charge

Metals: those element which show +1 , +2 , +3 valency are considered as metals

Non- metals = Those metals which show the valency of -1 , -2 ,-3 are considered as Non- Metals.

Questions:

1. T = 7 proton

Electronic configuration = 2 , 5

It gains (-ve charge) 3 electron to achieve complete octet(5+3 = 8) = -3 valency

It is non- metal

2. Q=15

Its electronic configuration = 2 ,8 , 5

It gains (-ve charge) 3 electron to achieve complete octet(5+3 = 8) = -3 valency

It is non- metal

3.X = 12

Its electronic configuration = 2 ,8 , 2

It loses (+ve charge) 2 electron to achieve complete octet( 2 , 8) = + 2 valency

It is  metal

4.Z = 17

Its electronic configuration = 2 ,8 , 7

It gains (-ve charge) 1 electron to achieve complete octet(7+1 = 8) = -1 valency

It is non- metal

<u>There is only one metal = X</u>

Which diagram represents this molecule?
zepelin [54]

Answer:

  C

Explanation:

The molecule has 8 carbon atoms joined by 7 C-C bonds.

The first two diagrams show 6 carbon atoms, not 8.

The last two diagrams show line segments representing C-C bonds. Only choice C shows 7 such segments.

The appropriate choice is C.
