Hard water often contains dissolved Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. One way to soften water is to add phosphates. The phosphate ion forms in

soluble precipitates with calcium and magnesium ions, removing them from solution. Suppose that a solution is 0.054 M in calcium chloride and 0.093 M in magnesium nitrate. What mass of sodium phosphate would have to be added to 1.4 L of this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ions? Assume complete reaction. Enter a numerical answer only, in terms of grams to two significant figures.

Answer:

22.4269 grams of sodium phosphate must be added to 1.4 L of this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ions

Explanation:

We will first write the balanced equation for this scenario

3 CaCl2 + 2 Na3PO4 ----> 6 NaCl + Ca3 (PO4)2

3 Mg(NO3)2 + 2 Na3PO4 -----> 6 NaNO3 + Mg3 (PO4)2

The ratio here for both calcium chloride and magnesium nitrate is 3:2

The number of moles of each compound is equal to

0.054 * 1.4 = 0.0756\\0.093* 1.4 = 0.1302

Using the mole ratio of 3:2, convert each to moles of sodium phosphate.

0.0756 mole of CaCl2 is equal to 0.05\\ Na3PO4

0.1302 mole of CaCl2 is equal to 0.0868 Na3PO4

Converting moles of sodium phosphate to grams of sodium phosphate we get

(0.05 +0.0868) * 163.94 g/mol

22.4269 grams of sodium phosphate must be added to 1.4 L of this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ions

Answer: m = 50 g ZnSO4

Explanation: First is convert the moles of Zn to the moles of ZnSO4 by having their mole ratio which is 2:2 based from the balanced equation. Next is convert the moles of ZnSO4 to mass using its molar mass.

0.311 mole Zn x 2 moles ZnSO4 / 2 moles Zn

= 0.311 moles ZnSO4

0.311 moles ZnSO4 x 161 g ZnSO4 / 1 mole ZnSO4

= 50 ZnSO4

Goryan [66]

The electronegativity of nitrogen (N) is 3.0, while the electronegativity of hydrogen (H) is 2.1. As it can be seen that nitrogen (N) is more electronegative than that of hydrogen (H),  

So electron pairs are attracted towards nitrogen and thus it carries a partial negative charge and hydrogen carries a partial positive charge. The image of electron distribution is attached as follows.

Thus NH₃ is a polar molecule .

What is the molarity of a solution that has 4.4 moles BaCl2 in 1.5 Liters of solution?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

2.9 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Moles of barium chloride (solute): 4.4 moles

Volume of solution: 1.5 liters

Step 2: Calculate the molarity of barium chloride in the solution

The molarity is a way to quantitatively express the concentration of a solute in a solution. The molarity is equal to the moles of solute divided by the volume, in liters, of solution.

M=\frac{4.4mol}{1.5L} =2.9 M

4) Valley

Explanation:

1) Hill is an elevated location smaller than a mountain. Location: Land

2) Mountain is a large mass of earth and rock, rising above the common level of the earth or adjacent land, usually given by geographers as above 1000 feet in height (or 304.8 metres).

Location: Land or Water

3) Plateau is a largely level expanse of land at a high elevation. It is also known as tableland.

Location: Land

4) Valley is an elongated depression between hills or mountains, often with a river flowing through it.

Location: Land or Water
