Hard water often contains dissolved Mg2+and Ca2+ions. Water softeners often use sodium carbonate to soften the water. Sodium car

bonate is soluble in water, but the carbonate ions form insoluble precipitates with the calcium and magnesium ions, removing them from solution. Suppose a 2.91L solution is 0.0396 M in calcium nitrate and 0.0661 M in magnesium chloride. What mass of sodium carbonate would have to be added to this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ions?

Answer:

32.5g of sodium carbonate

Explanation:

Reaction of sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) with Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ as follows:

Na₂CO₃(aq) + Ca²⁺(aq) → CaCO₃(s)

Na₂CO₃(aq) + Mg²⁺(aq) → MgCO₃(s)

<em>1 mole of carbonate reacts per mole of the cations.</em>

<em />

To know the mass of sodium carbonate we must know the moles of carbonate we need to add based on the moles of the cations:

<em>Moles Mg²⁺:</em>

2.91L * (0.0661 moles MgCl₂ / 1L) = 0.192 moles MgCl₂ = Moles Mg²⁺

<em>Moles Ca²⁺:</em>

2.91L * (0.0396mol Ca(NO₃)₂ / 1L) = 0.115 moles Ca(NO₃)₂ = Moles Ca²⁺

That means moles of sodium carbonate you must add are:

0.192 moles + 0.115 moles = 0.307 moles sodium carbonate.

In grams (Using molar mass Na₂CO₃ = 105.99g/mol):

0.307 moles Na₂CO₃ * (105.99g / mol) =

A gas occupies a volume of 4.50 L at 44 kPa. What would be the new volume at 50 kPa?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Explanation:

P1= 44 kpa

P2= 50 kpa

V1= 4.50 L

V2= ?

P1 V1= P2 V2

44 × 4.50 = 50 × V2

198= 50 × V2

V2 = 198/ 50

V2= 3.96 L "the new volume"

Which is the IUPAC name for NO?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Nitrogen (ii) oxide

Explanation:

To know the IUPAC name for NO, we shall determine the oxidation number of N in NO.

NOTE: The oxidation number of oxygen (O) is always – 2.

Thus the oxidation number of N in NO can be obtained as follow:

N + O = 0 (ground state)

N + (– 2) = 0

N – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

N = 0 + 2

N = +2

Thus, the oxidation number of Nitrogen (N) in NO is +2.

Therefore, the IUPAC name for NO is Nitrogen (ii) oxide

7. An element's most stable ion forms an ionic compound with chlorine having the formula XCl2. If the ion of element X has a mas
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,  

XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻

X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element

As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,  

No. of electrons = atomic number - charge

36 = atomic number - 2

Atomic number = 38

Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.  

Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,  

No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

= 89 - 38

= 51 neutrons.

he number-average molecular weight of a polypropylene is 1,000,000 g/mol. Compute the degree of polymerization.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The answer is "23765.4"

Explanation:

Motor weight average number (\bar{M_n}) = 1000000 \frac{g}{mol}

Poly condensation degree dependent on the average number of molecular weights is as follows:

DP_n = \frac{\text{Mol.Wt Number Medium}}{\text{Monomer Unit Mol.Wt}}

All monomer module, in this case, is propylene  

Sunrise. Unit Wt = Mol. Propylene weight

                           = \ Mol. \ Wt \ of \ C_3H_6\\\\= 3 \times 12.01 +6 \times 1.008 \ \ \frac{g}{mol}\\\\= 42.078 \frac{g}{mol}\\\\

DP_n = \frac{1000000}{42.078}\\\\

    =23765.4
