Answer:

Regularly test the water in residents' homes.

Explanation:

The only way to know if tap water contains lead is to do tests to determine the levels of that metal in the water. Therefore, the state is under an obligation to constantly conduct such tests in the resident´s homes and thus determine whether the water supplied is fit for human consumption.  

The state after the tests must guarantee the population the treatment of the water to reduce the levels of lead. The main pipes that contain lead pipes must be changed, as well as those parts of the service connections made of lead.

In an exothermic reaction, the energy of the reactants is greater than the energy of
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

H

Explanation:

If the energy content in the reactants is higher than the products, that means that the reaction must be giving away energy. So, in other words, chemical energy from the reactants must be released as heat.

The pH of a saturated solution of a metal hydroxide MOH is 10.15. Calculate the Ksp for this compound.
Airida [17]

Answer:

Ksp=2.00x10^{-8}

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the pH of the given metal is 10.15, we can compute the pOH as shown below:

pOH=14-pH=14-10.15=3.85

Now, we compute the concentration of hydroxyl ions in solution:

[OH^-]=10^{-pOH}=10^{-3.95}=1.41x10^{-4}M

Now, since this hydroxide has the form MOH, we infer the concentration of OH- equals the concentration of M^+ at equilibrium, assuming the following ionization reaction:

MOH(s)\rightarrow M^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)

Whose equilibrium expression is:

Ksp=[M^+][OH^-]

Therefore, the Ksp for the saturated solution turns out:

Ksp=1.41x10^{-4}*1.41x10^{-4}\\\\Ksp=2.00x10^{-8}

Best regards!

Groundwater in Pherric, New Mexico, initially contains 1.800 mg/L of iron as Fe3+. What must the pH be raised to in order to pre
xenn [34]

Answer : The pH will be, 3.2

Explanation :

As we known that the value of solubility constant of ferric hydroxide at 25^oC is, 2.79\times 10^{-39}

Amount or solubility of iron consumed = (1.800 - 0.3) mg/L = 1.5 mg/L

The given solubility of iron convert from mg/L to mol/L.

1.5mg/L=\frac{1.5\times 10^{-3}g/L}{56g/mol}=2.7\times 10^{-7}mol/L

The chemical reaction will be:

Fe(OH)_3\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3OH^-

The expression of solubility constant will be:

K_{sp}=[Fe^{3+}]\times [3OH^-]^3

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get the concentration of hydroxide ion.

2.79\times 10^{-39}=(2.7\times 10^{-7})\times [3OH^-]^3

[OH^-]=1.5\times 10^{-11}M

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

pOH=-\log (1.5\times 10^{-11})

pOH=10.8

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-10.8\\\\pH=3.2

Therefore, the pH will be, 3.2
