An excess of zinc carbonate was added to a 20.0 mL solution X that contains sulfide and thiosulfate ions. Reaction occured accor

ding to the net ionic equation below:
S2- + ZnCO3 → ZnS + CO32-

Upon completion of the reaction, the solution was filtered into a 50.0 mL volumetric flask and diluted to the mark.

20.0 mL of the diluted filtrate was then withdrawn and titrated with 5.20 mL of 0.01000 M standard solution of iodine.

What is the concentration (in molarity) of thiosulfate ion in the initial solution X.

Answer:

0.0325M S₂O₃²⁻

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

S²⁻ + ZnCO₃ → ZnS(s) + CO₃²⁻

<em>1 mole of S²⁻ reacts per mole of ZnCO₃</em>

when the reaction occurs, the sulfide ions are precipitated keeping in solution just S₂O₃²⁻ ions.

Then, these ions are titrated with iodine, thus:

2 S₂O₃²⁻ + I₂ → S₄O₆²⁻ + 2I⁻

That means 2 moles of thiosulfate react per mole of iodine.

Moles of iodine spent are:

5.20x10⁻³L ₓ (0.01000 mol / L) = 5.20x10⁻⁵ moles of I₂

5.20x10⁻⁵ moles of I₂ ₓ (2 moles S₂O₃²⁻ / 1 mole I₂) =

1.04x10⁻⁴ moles of S₂O₃²⁻

As dilution factor of the S₂O₃²⁻ solution was 50.0mL / 20.0mL = 2.5. Moles of the initial solution X are:

1.04x10⁻⁴ moles of S₂O₃²⁻ ₓ 2.5 = 1.60x10⁻⁴ moles of S₂O₃²⁻. In 20.0mL:

1.60x10⁻⁴ moles of S₂O₃²⁻ / 0.0200L =

<em>0.0325M S₂O₃²⁻</em>

What term describes the process of lowering the boiling point of a hydrocarbon by exposing it to different environmental treatme
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Cracking.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a reaction in which two or more atoms of a chemical element react to form a chemical compound. An example of a chemical reaction involving hydrocarbons is cracking.

Hydrocarbon can be defined as an organic compound that comprises of hydrogen and carbon only.

In Organic chemistry, cracking refers to the process of lowering the boiling point of a heavy, complex or long-chain hydrocarbon such as kerogens by exposing it to different environmental treatments such as hydrogen enriched catalysts, pressure or high temperatures, in order to produce smaller, lighter and more useful molecules (alkanes and alkenes) such as gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.

What is a common misconception about not following food regulations?
Dima020 [189]

Explanation:

Most Americans have encountered some bacteria at some point in their lives, whether it was acquired from restaurant food or a grocery store, which caused them to claim they later had food poisoning. There are multiple nasty bacteria that can cause this, and there are many misconceptions about how they end up in our food, and what the best ways to avoid them are. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, so here are several misconceptions about food safety and the practices involved that can leave us satisfied, or ruin our day with stomach churning nastiness.

1. An atom of an elephant has atomic mass of 39 and has number of neutrons as 20 calculate protons number.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

1) Let us recall that;

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Where;

Number of protons = ?

Number of neutrons =20

Mass number =39

Number of protons = mass number - number of neutrons

Mass of protons =39 - 20= 19 protons

2) Atomic number = 13

Number of neutrons =14

Then the mass number =13 +14 =27

The symbol of the element is 27X13

The number of protons= the number of electrons =13

The atomic number is the same as the proton number =13
