2. In Experiment SOL, you investigated the solubility of oxalic acid. Sodium oxalate, Na2C2O¬4, is the sodium salt of this acid.

Categorize it as acidic, basic, or neutral in water. Does the salt dissolve, dissociate, or both in aqueous solutions? What about oxalic acid; does it dissolve, dissociate, or both in water? Explain.

Answer:

Sodium oxalate is a basic salt. In water it can be dissolved and dissociated.

The oxalic acid in water has two dissociations.

Explanation:

Na2C2O4 ---> 2Na+   +  C2O4-2

Sodium oxalate is the conjugate base of a weak acid. In water this salt, dissociates completely giving rise to the sodium and oxalate ions. As Na+ comes from a strong base, in water it does not produce hydrolysis while oxalate does react in water, because it takes a proton from it and it generates a basic hydrolysis releasing OH-.

C2O4-2  + H2O ⇄  HC2O4-  +  OH-

In water the salt is basic.  The pH of an aqueous solution of this salt is basic, since OH- is generated.

The HC2O4- has a second hydrolisis, it takes another proton from water to form oxalic acid.

HC2O4-  +  H2O ⇄  H2C2O4  +  OH-

The oxalic acid acts as a weak acid, it can release 2 protons to water, to make oxalate (its conjugate base).

H2C2O4  + H2O ⇄ H3O+  + HC2O4-

HC2O4-  +  H2O ⇄  H3O+  C2O4-2

The  HC2O4-  acts as an ampholyte since it accepts and delivers protons simultaneously.

<h3> The supplements that are minerals are</h3>
  1. calcium
  2. sodium
  3. iron
  4. zinc

<u><em> Explanation</em></u>

  • calcium   and sodium  are major  minerals   which are required  by the body for

      calcium-  needed  for muscle,hearing bone and  for the support of synthesis and function of cells

     sodium-   is needed to control blood  pressure  and  also for proper  muscle and nerve  function

  • Zinc  and iron are  required   in trace and both are needed for good health

How many moles of aluminum are needed to make 9 moles of molecular hydrogen? given the reaction: 2 al + 6 hcl → 2 alcl3 + 3h2 6
sergiy2304 [10]
1) Chemical equation

2Al + 6 HCl ---> 2Al Cl3 + 3 H2

2) molar ratios

2 mol Al : 3 moles H2

3) Proportion

2 mol Al /  3mol H2 = x / 9 mol H2

4) Solve for x

x = 9 mol H2 * 2 mol Al / 3 mol H2 = 6 mol Ag

Answer: 6 moles

Calculate the mass in grams for each of the following liquids.
WITCHER [35]
The density is calculated as mass per volume, so if we want to solve for mass, we would multiply density by volume.
For Part A: if we have a density of 0.69 g/mL, and a volume of 280 mL, multiplying these will give a mass of: (0.69 g/mL)(280 mL) = 193.2 g. Rounded to 2 significant figures, this is 190 g gasoline.
For Part B: if we have a density of 0.79 g/mL, and a volume of 190 mL, multiplying these will give a mass of: (0.79 g/mL)(190 mL) = 150.1 g. Rounded to 2 significant figures, this is equal to 150 g ethanol.

Astronomers studying the planet of Rhombus have detected sedimentary rock on its surface. One astronomer wonders if material in
Fed [463]

Answer:

igneous rock CAN become sedimentary rock through a process called ROCK CYCLE.

Explanation:

Rocks can be defined as solid structures of minerals that are formed naturally over a period of time. They are grouped into three main types which includes the following:

- igneous rock

- sedimentary rocks and

- metamorphic rocks.

Rocks are capable of transforming from one type to another through a process known as rock cycle. There are two forces that brings about this process which includes:

- The internal force : this is the Earth’s internal heat engine, which moves material around in the core and the mantle and leads to slow but significant changes within the crust.

- The external force: this is the the hydrological cycle, which is the movement of water, ice, and air at the surface, and is powered by the sun.

Molten magma cools to form either extrusive igneous rock or intrusive igneous rock. With time they undergo weathering, eroded, transported, and then deposited as sediments which are being compressed and cemented into SEDIMENTARY ROCKS. Again through the above mentioned forces, different kinds of rocks are either uplifted, to be re-eroded, or buried deeper within the crust where they are heated up, squeezed, and changed into METAMORPHIC ROCK.

Therefore the material in this sedimentary rock found in Rhombus planet used to be in igneous rock deep in Rhombus's interior due to continuous rock cycling on the planet. I hope this helps, thanks.

Which method would be best to separate a mixture of oil and water?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

distillation ​

Explanation:

Actually, distillation is used to separate liquids from nonvolatile solids, as in the separation of alcoholic liquors from fermented materials, or in the separation of two or more liquids having different boiling points, as in the separation of gasoline, kerosene, and lubricating oil from crude oil.
