Answer:

The concentration of hydronium ions and the pH value is related by the equation: pH=-Log[H+]

Explanation:

We have two different concepts pH and concentration of hydronium ions. Lets start with the hydronium ion.

An hydronium ion is a species that is produced by an acid:

$HA~->~H^+~+~A^-$

Aditionally, we can have the production of hydroxide ions. The subtances that have the capacity to produce this ions are called "bases":

$BOH~->~B^+~+~OH^-$

Now we can continue "pH"

The pH is a scale that indicates if the substance is and acid (higher concentration of $H^+$ ), neutral (equal amounts of $H+$ and $OH^-$ ) or basic (higher amount of $OH^-$ ).

Finally, the "pH" is calculated with the concentration of the hydronium ions (

$H^+$ ), the letter "p" is "-Log", therefore:

$pH=-Log[H^+]
$

I hope it helps!

Answer:

BaC₂O₄, then ZnC₂O₄, then Ag₂C₂O₄

Explanation:

1. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of oxalate ion

Let [C₂O₄²⁻] = c

(a) Barium oxalate

BaC₂O₄ ⇌ Ba²⁺ + C₂O₄²⁻

E/mol·L⁻¹: 5.0 × 10⁻⁵ c

Ksp = [Ba²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = 5.0 × 10⁻⁵c = 1.5 × 10⁻⁸

c = (1.5 × 10⁻⁸)/(5.0 × 10⁻⁵) = 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

(b) Zinc oxalate

ZnC₂O₄ ⇌ Zn²⁺ + C₂O₄²⁻

E/mol·L⁻¹: 2.0 × 10⁻⁷ c

Ksp = [Zn²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = 2.0 × 10⁻⁷c = 1.35 × 10⁻⁹

c = (1.35 × 10⁻⁹)/(2.0 × 10⁻⁷) = 6.8 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹

(c) Silver oxalate

Ag₂C₂O₄ ⇌ 2Ag⁺ + C₂O₄²⁻

E/mol·L⁻¹: 3.0 × 10⁻⁵ c

Ksp = [Ag⁺]²[C₂O₄²⁻] = (3.0× 10⁻⁵)²c = 9.0 × 10⁻¹⁰c = 1.1 × 10⁻¹¹

c = (1.1 × 10⁻¹¹)/(9.0 × 10⁻¹⁰) = 0.012 mol·L⁻¹

2. Decide the order of precipitation

BaC₂O₄ will precipitate when c > 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

ZnC₂O₄ will precipitate when c > 6.8 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹

Ag₂C₂O₄ will precipitate when c > 0.028 mol·L⁻¹

This happens to be the order of increasing concentration of oxalate ion.

The order of precipitation is

BaC₂O₄, then ZnC₂O₄, then Ag₂C₂O₄

Suppose you need of Grade 70 tow chain, which has a diameter of and weighs , to tow a car. How would you calculate the mass of t

BabaBlast [244]

Answer: check explanation

Explanation:

In this question we are to find mass. In order to calculate the Mass, We need the values of two parameters, that is, the values given for the grade tow chain, and the value given for the mass per length.

Assuming the mass per length is 3 Kilogram per metre(kg/m) and the grade 70 tow chain length is 5 metre(m).

Therefore, the formula for calculating mass of the chain is given below;

Mass of the chain= mass per unit length(kg/m) × length ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

Mass of the chain= 3 kg/m × 5 m.

Mass of the chain= 15 kg.
