A concentrated aqueous solution of Pb(NO3)2 is slowly added to 1.0 L of a mixed aqueous solution containing 0.010 M Na2CrO4 and

2.5 M NaBr in an attempt to selectively precipitate only one of the anions. The sparingly soluble salt that precipitates first (neglecting any volume change) is ________ with a [Pb2+] concentration of ________.
Ksp(PbCrO4) = 1.8 × 10–14, Ksp(PbBr2) = 6.3 × 10–6

Answer:

This means the amount of PbCrO4 will precipitate first, with a [Pb^2+] concentration of 1.8*10^-12 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molarity of Na2CrO4 = 0.010 M

Molarity of NaBr = 2.5 M

Ksp(PbCrO4) = 1.8 * 10^–14

Ksp(PbBr2) = 6.3 * 10^–6

Step 2: The balanced equation

PbCrO4 →Pb^2+ + CrO4^2-

PbBr2 → Pb^2+ + 2Br-

Step 3: Define Ksp

Ksp PbCrO4 = [Pb^2+]*[CrO4^2-]

1.8*10^-14 = [Pb^2+] * 0.010 M

[Pb^2+] = 1.8*10^-14 /0.010

[Pb^2+] = 1.8*10^-12 M

The minimum [Pb^2+] needed to precipitate PbCrO4 is 1.8*10^-12 M

Ksp PbBr2 = [Pb^2+][Br-]²

6.3 * 10^–6 = [Pb^2+] (2.5)²

[Pb^2+] = 1*10^-6 M

The minimum [Pb^2+] needed to precipitate PbBr2 is 1*10^-6 M

This means the amount of PbCrO4 will precipitate first, with a [Pb^2+] concentration of 1.8*10^-12 M

The good ozone protects us from the UV/ harmful radiations whereas bad ozone is an air pollutant.

Explanation:

There are two types of ozone layer found in the earth's atmosphere extending from troposphere to stratosphere. They are good ozone and bad ozone.
Bad ozone as mentioned earlier it is an air pollutant and found in the ground level of earth, most accurately the troposphere. Bad ozone is formed in the ground level of earth's atmosphere by the reaction between nitrogen oxides and organic compounds which are volatile
The Good ozone is found in the stratosphere layer of the earth's atmosphere. They protect us from harmful radiations. Good ozone layer in the stratosphere of the atmosphere is being destroyed by hydrocarbons, CFCs, and human intervention

How many atoms are in 3.690 moles of oxygen

sweet [91]

1 mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number.

So, 1 mole of O2= 6.023x10^23 molecules

3 mole of O2= 6.023x10^23x3 molecules

= 1.8069x10^24 molecules

Each molecule of Oxygen has 2 atoms.

therefore,

1.8069x10^24 molecules= 1.8069x10^24 x 2 atoms

= 3.6138x10^24 atoms.

Chalk markings cannot be easily rubbed off from a black board if kept for a long time.why?

snow_tiger [21]

The chalk particles embed themselves into the small pores on the surface.

Although a chalkboard seems smooth to the touch, it is quite rough at the microscopic level, with <em>pores</em> that reach below the surface.

When you drag chalk across the board, friction causes small particles of chalk to rub off onto the surface.

If you leave the markings for a long time, some of the chalk particles will work their way into the pores.

A brush will remove the surface particles, but <em>it will not be able to get at the particles in the pores</em>.

Determine the pHpH of an HFHF solution of each of the following concentrations. In which cases can you not make the simplifying

PIT_PIT [208]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

Determine the pH of an HF solution of each of the following concentrations. In which cases can you not make the simplifying assumption that x is small? ( $K_a$ for HF is $6.8\times 10^{-4}$ .)

[HF] = 0.280 M

Express your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.

Explanation:3

Initial concentration if HF = c = 0.280 M

Dissociation constant of the HF = $K_a=6.8\times 10^{-4}$

$HF\rightleftharpoons H^++F^-$

Initially

c 0 0

At equilibrium :

(c-x) x x

The expression of disassociation constant is given as:

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][F^-]}{[HF]}$

$K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}$

$6.8\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x^2}{(0.280 M-x)}$

Solving for x, we get:

x = 0.01346 M

So, the concentration of hydrogen ion at equilibrium is :

$[H^+]=x=0.01346 M$

The pH of the solution is ;

$pH=-\log[H^+]=-\log[0.01346 M]=1.87$

The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.
