Mg(OH)2 is a sparingly soluble compound, in this case a base, with a solubility product, Ksp, of 5.61×10−11. It is used to contr

ol the pH and provide nutrients in the biological (microbial) treatment of municipal wastewater streams.
Based on the given value of the Ksp, what is the molar solubility of Mg(OH)2 in pure H2O?

Answer:

1.27 x 10⁻⁴M

Explanation:

For a 2 to 1 ionization ratio, solubility in pure water can be calculated using the formula S = ∛(Ksp/27) = ∛(5.61 x 10⁻¹¹/27 = 1.27 x 10⁻⁴M.

Mg(OH)₂ ⇄ Mg⁺² + 2OH⁻ => Ksp = [Mg⁺²][OH⁻]² = (x)(2x)² = 4x³

Solve for 'x' => x = Solubility = ∛Ksp/4

In which species does sulfur have the highest oxidation number? s8 (elemental form of sulfur) h2s so2 h2so3 k2so4?
Mashutka [201]
There are rules to assigning conventional oxidation numbers to some elements. For those unspecified, you can solve them. This is how you solve it.

*S8. Since this is in elemental form, its oxidation number is assigned as 0.

*H2S. H is assigned with +1. Since the compound is neutral, the overall charge is 0. So,
2(+1) + x = 0
x = -2
The charge of S here is -2.

*SO₂. O is assigned with (-2). Using the same procedure,
x + 2(-2) = 0
x = +2
The charge of S here is +2.

*H₂SO₃.
2(+1) + x + 3(-2) = 0
x = +4.
The charge of S here is +4.

*K₂SO₄. K is assigned with +1. 
2(+1) + x + 4(-2) = 0
x = +6
The charge of S here is +6.

<em>The S with the highest oxidation number is the one in K₂SO₄.</em>

What does the abyssopelagic gets its energy and nutrients from?
uysha [10]

Answer:

The abyssal zone or abyssopelagic zone is a layer of the pelagic zone of the ocean. "Abyss" ... This region also contains a much higher concentration of nutrient salts, like ... Many animals also move very slowly to conserve energy. Their reproduction rates are also very slow, to decrease competition and conserve energy.

Explanation:

Rather than relying on producers to form the base of the food pyramid, organisms living in the abyssal zone must feed on the dead organic detritus that falls from oceanic layers above. ... For example, many of these organisms convert hydrogen sulfide to sulfate to produce chemical energy.

Which methods could you use to calculate the y-coordinate of the midpoint of a vertical line segment with endpoints at (0, 0) an
maria [59]

One of the most convenient ways of finding or calculating for the midpoint of the line segment is to get the average of the coordinates of the points.

Average of abscissa = (0 + 0) / 2 = 0

Average of ordinate = (0 + 15) / 2 = 7.5

 Hence, the midpoint of the line segment is equal to (0, 15/2).

The value of the y-intercept is 15/2.
