Why is potassium sulfate K2SO4, but strontium sulfate SrSO4?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago
7 0
The sulphate ion has a charge of 2-, and potassium has a charge of 1+. To fully neutralise the charge on a sulphate ion, you need two potassium ions. 

However, strontium has a charge of 2+. To neutralise the sulphate ion's 2- charge, one strontium ion is enough, so only one bonds to the sulphate.

What happens to the air in the colloid when ice cream melts
Contact [7]

The colloid formed by ice cream remains stable only at cold temperatures. When ice cream is warmed above freezing, its dispersed particles absorb energy and begin to move faster. When the fast-moving particles collide, they sometimes stick together.

1. A student needs to make 80mL of a 4.5 x 10^-3 M solution of H_3PO_4 (mm = 98) from solid. Describe how the student would do t
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

1. 35 mg of H₃PO₄

2. 27 mol AlF₃; 82 mol F⁻

3. 300 mL of stock solution.

Explanation:

1. Preparing a solution of known molar concentration

Data:

V = 80 mL

c = 4.5 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹

Calculations:

(a) Moles of H₃PO₄

Molar concentration = moles of solute/litres of solution

c = n/V

n = Vc = 0.080L × (4.5 × 10⁻³ mol/1 L) = 3.60 × 10⁻⁴ mol

(b) Mass of H₃PO₄  

moles = mass/molar mass

n = m/MM

m = n × MM = 3.60 × 10⁻⁴ mol × (98 g/1 mol) = 0.035 g = 35 mg

(c) Procedure

Dissolve 35 mg of solid H₃PO₄  in enough water to make 80 mL of solution,

2. Moles of solute.

Data:

V = 4900 mL

c = 5.6 mol·L⁻¹

Calculations:

Moles of AlF₃ = cV = 4.9 L AlF₃ × (5.6 mol AlF₃/1L AlF₃) = 27 mol AlF₃

Moles of F⁻ = 27 mol AlF₃ × (3 mol F⁻/1 mol AlF₃) = 82 mol F⁻.

3. Dilution calculation

Data:

V₁= 750 mL; c₁ = 0.80 mol·L⁻¹

V₂ = ?            ; c₂ = 2.0   mol·L⁻¹

Calculation:

V₁c₁ = V₂c₂

V₂ = V₁ × c₁/c₂ = 750 mL × (0.80/2.0) = 300 mL

Procedure:

Measure out 300 mL of stock solution. Then add 500  mL of water.

The mass of water in a single popcorn kernel was found to be 0.905 grams after it popped at a temperature of 175 °C. Using the i
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0.583 kilojoules

Explanation:

The amount of heat required to pop a single kernel can be calculated using the formula as follows:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat (J)

m = mass of water (g)

c = specific heat capacity of water (4.184 J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature

From the given information, m = 0.905 g, initial temperature (room temperature) = 21°C , final temperature = 175°C, Q = ?

Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 0.905 × 4.184 × (175°C - 21°C)

Q = 3.786 × 154

Q = 583.044 Joules

In kilojoules i.e. we divide by 1000, the amount of heat is:

= 583.04/1000

= 0.583 kilojoules
