2.11x10^24 Ca atoms

In order to find the amount of atoms we must use Avogadro’s number, 6.022 x 10^23

Since we have moles, 3.5 the equation would look like this

3.5 moles Ca x 6.022x10^23/1 = 2.1077 x 10^24, which we round to 2.11 x 10^24 atoms of Ca

ook at sample problem 18.12 in the 8th ed Silberberg book. Write a balanced chemical equation (salt hydrolysis). So acetate ion

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

1. Write the chemical equation

CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O ⇌ CH₃COOH + OH⁻; Kₐ = 2 × 10⁻⁵

Let's rewrite the equation as

A⁻ + H₂O ⇌ HA + OH⁻

2. Calculate Kb

$K_{\text{b}} = \dfrac{K_{\text{w}}}{K_{\text{a}}} = \dfrac{1.00 \times 10^{-14}}{2 \times 10^{-5}} = 5 \times 10^{-10}$

3. Set up an ICE table

A⁻ + H₂O ⇌ HA + OH⁻

I/mol·L⁻¹: 0.35 0 0

C/mol·L⁻¹: -x +x +x

E/mol·L⁻¹: 0.35-x x x

4. Solve for x

$\dfrac{\text{[HA ][OH$^{-}$]}}{\text{[A$^{-}$]}} = \dfrac{x^{2}}{0.35-x} = 5 \times 10^{-10}$

Check for negligibility,

$\dfrac{\text{[HA]}}{K_{\text{b}}} = \dfrac{0.35}{5 \times 10^{-10}} = 7 \times 10^{8}> 400\\\\\therefore x \ll 0.35\\\\\dfrac{x^{2}}{0.35} = 5 \times 10^{-10}\\\\x^{2} = 0.35 \times 5 \times 10^{-10} = 1.8\times 10^{-10}\\\\x = \sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-10}} = \mathbf{1 \times 10^{-5}}$

5. Calculate the pOH

[OH⁻] = 1 × 10⁻⁵ mol·L⁻¹

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(1 × 10⁻⁵) = 4.88

6. Calculate the pH.

pH + pOH = 14.00

pH + 4.88 = 14.00

pH = 9.12

Note: The answer differs from that given by Silberberg because you used only one significant figure for the Kₐ of acetic acid.

When combining Magnesium and Oxygen, what is the correct formula and compound name?

Strike441 [17]

<span> Magnesium appears as the cation Mg 2+ and Oxygen appears as the anion O 2- and when combined they create MgO, which is Magnesium Oxide.</span>
