Answer:
Cs is cesium and CrO₄ is chromate so CsCrO₄ is cesium chromate.
Answer:
B. A precipitate will form since Q > Ksp for calcium oxalate
Explanation:
Ksp of CaC₂O₄ is:
CaC₂O₄(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺ + C₂O₄²⁻
Where Ksp is defined as the product of concentrations of Ca²⁺ and C₂O₄²⁻ in equilibrium:
Ksp = [Ca²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = 2.27x10⁻⁹
In the solution, the concentration of calcium ion is 3.5x10⁻⁴M and concentration of oxalate ion is 2.33x10⁻⁴M.
Replacing in Ksp formula:
[3.5x10⁻⁴M][2.33x10⁻⁴M] = 8.155x10⁻⁸. This value is reaction quotient, Q.
If Q is higher than Ksp, the ions will produce the precipitate CaC₂O₄ until [Ca²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = Ksp.
Thus, right answer is:
<em>B. A precipitate will form since Q > Ksp for calcium oxalate</em>

<span>The smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of that element is called an A. atom.
Atoms consist of protons, electrons, and neutrons, but they are particles and don't have the characteristics of the element which is why D is incorrect. B and C are not the smallest units - atoms are smaller than them.
