Determine whether or not each ion contributes to water hardness.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Virty [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: The ion that contribute to water hardness are:

--> a. Ca2+

--> b. (HCO)3^- and

--> c. Mg2+

While K+ DOES NOT contribute to water hardness.

Explanation:

WATER in chemistry is known as a universal solvent. This is so because it is polar in nature and dissolves most inorganic solutes and some polar organic solutes to form aqueous solutions. It is composed of elements such as hydrogen and oxygen in the combined ratio of 2:1.

Water is said to be HARD if it does not lather readily with soap. There are two types of water hardness:

--> Permanent hardness: This is mainly due to the presence of CALCIUM and MAGNESIUM ions in the form of soluble tetraoxosulphate(VI) and chlorides. These ions are removed by adding washing soda or caustic soda.

--> Temporary hardness: This is due to the presence of calcium HYDROGENTRIOXOCARBONATES. It can be removed by boiling and using slaked lime.

Therefore from the above given ions, Ca2+,(HCO)3^- and Mg2+ contributes to water hardness.

The pressure exerted by each individual gas in a mixture of gases is called its <u>partial </u>pressure this pressure is proportional to the <u>mole</u> fraction of the gas in the mixture

Pressure is defined as the force of all the gas particle of wall collisions divided by the area of the wall

The pressure exerted by an individual gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure and assuming we have a mixture of ideal gases and we can use the ideal gas law to solve problems involving gases in a mixture and the ratio of the number of moles of one component of a solution or other mixture to the total number of moles representing all of the components

How does latitude affect climate?<br> Blast blast blast blast blast blast blast
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

THANKS

Explanation:

There is a relationship between latitude and temperature around the world, as temperatures are typically warmer approaching the Equator and cooler approaching the Poles. There are variations, though, as other factors such as elevation, ocean currents, and precipitation affect climate patterns.

Calling all chemists...please help me!  Ive attached a screen shot of the problem
Olin [163]
This is an acid-base reaction where HF is the acid and H2O is the base (it's amphoteric and can be an acid or a base). The products would then H3O+ (the conjugate acid) and F- (the conjugate base). Now, we can simply construct a reaction using the found products and reactants. This acid-base reaction would be HF + H2O <--> H3O+ + F-.

Hope this helps!
