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

What process must happen before this process depicted below?
Vinil7 [7]

In glycolysis, glucose molecule is converted into pyruvate molecules .

It can't be cellular respiration because it starts always with glucose i.e glycolysis. But here it is the process after glycolysis (starting from pyruvate) and changing into lactic acid. It's an aerobic respiration called as lactic acid fermentation.

What must be changed, temperature or heat energy, during condensation explain in 2-3 sentences
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Change occur in heat energy.

Explanation:

Change occur in the heat energy of molecules during condensation process. The molecules of gas releases its heat energy and converted into liquid state. With this heat energy, they are active and escape from each other but when the heat energy is removed from them, the attractive forces between these gas molecules are formed which convert them into liquid state so change in heat energy occur in the condensation process.
