A geochemist in the field takes a 46.0 mL sample of water from a rock pool lined with crystals of a certain mineral compound X.

He notes the temperature of the pool, 21·C, and caps the sample carefully. Back in the lab, the geochemist filters the sample and then evaporates all the water under vacuum. Crystals of X are left behind. The researcher washes, dries and weighs the crystals. They weigh 0.87 g. yes x10 1
Using only the information above, can you calculate the solubility of X in water at 21.° C?
a. yes
b. no
If you said yes, calculate it.

Answer:

The correct answer is 1.89130 × 10⁻² g per ml.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the volume of the water sample is 46 ml, the temperature given is 21 degree C. Weight of the compound mineral X is 0.87 grams obtained post evaporating, washing, and drying of the sample. Yes, on the basis of the given information, one can find the solubility of compound X in water at 21 degree C.  

As 46 ml of water comprise 0.87 grams of the mineral compound X. Therefore, 1 ml of the water sample will comprise,  

= 0.87/46 g of X

= 1.89130 × 10⁻² grams

Hence, the solubility of the compound X in the sample of water is 1.89130 × 10⁻² gram per ml.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) The balanced reaction equation is;

K2S + CO(NO3)2 ------> COS + 2 KNO3

b) When we include the states of matter, we have;

K2S(aq) + CO(NO3)2(aq) ----> COS(s) + 2 KNO3(aq)

c) The complete ionic equation is;

2K^+(aq) + S^2-(aq) + Co^2+(aq) + 2NO3^-(aq) ----> CoS(s) + 2K^+(aq) + 2NO3^-(aq)

Net ionic equation;

Co^2+(aq) + S^2-(aq) ----> CoS(s)

The compound lead(II) acetate is a strong electrolyte. Write the reaction when solid lead(II) acetate is put into water:
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Pb(CH3COO)2(s) -------> Pb^2+(aq) + 2CH3COO^- (aq)

Explanation:

Recall that a strong electrolyte is an electrolyte that dissociates completely in solution. Hence, if we say that lead(II) acetate is a strong electrolyte  we are actually saying that  lead(II) acetate ,dissociates completely in solution to yield lead II ions and acetate ions.

This implies that the reaction equation shown in the answer section tends to go to completion since lead(II) acetate is a strong electrolyte.

N sub 2 +3H sub 2 rightwards arrow 2NH sub If 6 liters of hydrogen gas are used, how many liters of nitrogen gas will be needed
astraxan [27]

Answer:

2L of nitrogen gas will be needed

Explanation:

Based on the following reaction:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

<em>1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen to produce 2 moles of ammonia.</em>

<em />

If 6L of hydrogen (In a gas, the volume is directly proportional to the moles, Avogadro's law) react, the volume of nitrogen gas required will be:

6L H₂ * (1mol N₂ / 3 moles H₂) =

<h3>2L of nitrogen gas will be needed</h3>
