Answer:

Explanation:

Genetically modified crops (GM crops) are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species.

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Sodium sulfate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.0500 M $Ca^{2+}(aq)$ and 0.0390 M $Ag^{+}(aq)$ . What will be the concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ (aq) when $Ag_{2}SO_{4}(s)$ begins to precipitate? What percentage of the $Ca^{2+}(aq)$ can be separated from the Ag(aq) by selective precipitation?

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

$Ag_{2}SO_{4} \rightleftharpoons 2Ag^{+} + SO^{2-}_{4}$

$[Ag^{+}]$ = 0.0390 M

When $Ag_{2}SO_{4}$ precipitates then expression for $K_{sp}$ will be as follows.

$K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}]^{2}[SO^{2-}_{4}]$

$1.20 \times 10^{-5} = (0.0390)^{2} \times [SO^{2-}_{4}]$

$[SO^{2-}_{4}]$ = 0.00788 M

Now, equation for dissociation of calcium sulfate is as follows.

$CaSO_{4} \rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+} + SO^{2-}_{4}$

$K_{sp} = [Ca^{2+}][SO^{2-}_{4}]$

$4.93 \times 10^{-5} = [Ca^{2+}] \times 0.00788$

$[Ca^{2+}]$ = 0.00625 M

Now, we will calculate the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ remaining in the solution as follows.

$\frac{0.00625}{0.05} \times 100$

= 12.5%

And, the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ that can be separated is as follows.

100 - 12.5

= 87.5%

Thus, we can conclude that 87.5% will be the concentration of $Ca^{2+}(aq)$ when $Ag_{2}SO_{4}(s)$ begins to precipitate.

Suppose 0.981 g of iron (II) iodide is dissolved in 150. mL of a 35.0 m M aqueous solution of silver nitrate. Calculate the fina

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Final molarity of iodide ion C(I-) = 0.0143M

Explanation:

n = (m(FeI(2)))/(M(FeI(2))

Molar mass of FeI(3) = 55.85+(127 x 2) = 309.85g/mol

So n = 0.981/309.85 = 0.0031 mol

V(solution) = 150mL = 0.15L

C(AgNO3) = 35mM = 0.035M = 0.035m/L

n(AgNO3) = C(AgNO3) x V(solution)

= 0.035 x 0.15 = 0.00525 mol

(AgNO3) + FeI(3) = AgI(3) + FeNO3

So, n(FeI(3)) excess = 0.00525 - 0.0031 = 0.00215mol

C(I-) = C(FeI(3)) = [n(FeI(3)) excess]/ [V(solution)] = 0.00215/0.15 = 0.0143mol/L or 0.0143M
