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

PLEASE I'M OFFERING 20 POINTS AND WILL MARK BRAINLIEST. Think about how the geologic time scale was created and how it is divide
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The geologist time scale was formed when scientists studied rock layers and index fossils worldwide. With this information, they placed Earth's rocks in order by relative age. Later, radioactive dating helped determine the exact age of the divisons in the geologic time scale.

This scale is organized by the 4.6 billion years of earth's history into sections based on important changes seen in the geologic record. The largest intervals are called eons, with each eon containing many millions of years.

In precambarian time the processes that affect Earth's surface have lessened the erosion on the surface. Earth was being hit by meteorites every second. Now there is water erosion and there wasn't back then. The surface changes have lessened over time.

Calculate freeze 62.9 g of iron at 1535oC<br> Hf (J/g)=257
Inessa [10]

Answer:

<u>-16200J</u>

Explanation:

(257J/g)(62.9g)

eliminate the variables

u get 16165.3

go to 3 significant digits

u get 16200

and since it is freezing we are taking out energy so it would be

-16200J

True or false: If you rub things together, electrons can move from one atom to another?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

there is a transfer of electrons from one material to the other material. This causes one object to become positively charged (the electron loser) and the other object to become negatively charged (the electron gainer).

Why is alchemy not considered a science
Dima020 [189]
That is because Alchemy is not based on real research and facts, but rather on magic and occultism. Sure, many things in it have been used as basics for some chemistry, but most is false and incorrect.

D) does not dissociate in solution.
natima [27]

Answer:

According to the proton theory of acids and bases by J. Brønsted and T. Lowry, the  acid is<u> proton donor</u>.

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted lowry concept an acid is substance that gives protons or hydrogen ion while,

Base is substance that accept hydrogen ion or proton.

Consider the following example:

NH₃ + HCl  →  NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻

In this example HCl is Bronsted lowry acid it gives H⁺ while ammonia is Bronsted lowry base because it accept H⁺.

This also gives the concept of conjugate acid and base. In given example Cl⁻ is conjugate base of HCl while NH₄⁺ is conjugate acid of ammonia.
