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.

If nitrogen-13 has a half life of 2.5 years, how much remains from a 100g sample after 7.5 years
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

12.50g

Explanation:

T½ = 2.5years

No = 100g

N = ?

Time (T) = 7.5 years

To solve this question, we'll have to find the disintegration constant λ first

T½ = In2 / λ

T½ = 0.693 / λ

λ = 0.693 / 2.5

λ = 0.2772

In(N/No) = -λt

N = No* e^-λt

N = 100 * e^-(0.2772*7.5)

N = 100*e^-2.079

N = 100 * 0.125

N = 12.50g

The sample remaining after 7.5 years is 12.50g

Suppose an ice cube weighing 36.0 g at a temperature of 10°C is placed in 360 g water at a temperature of 20°C. Calculate the te
Scilla [17]

Answer:

10.44 °C

Explanation:

When the thermal equilibrium is reached, both of the substances have the same final temperature (T). The liquid water will lose heat, and the ice cube will absorb this heat. The temperature of the ice will increase until it reaches 0°C, at this temperature, it will change of phase for liquid, absorbing heat, but without a change in the temperature. Then the temperature will increase until the equilibrium.

By the energy conservation, the total amount of heat must be equal to 0:

Qice + Qmelting + Qliquid1 + Qliquid2 = 0

Liquid 1 is the ice after melting, and liquid 2 the liquid that was already at the flask. When there's a change of temperature:

Q = n*c*ΔT, where n is the number of moles, c is the heat capacity and ΔT is the temperature change (final - initial). The temperature variation in °C is equal in K, so the temperature may be used in °C.

The melting heat is:

Q = n*Hfus, Hfus = 6007 J/mol

The molar mass of the water is 18 g/mol, so the number of moles of the water and the ice are:

nwater = nliquid1 = 360/18 = 20 moles

nice = 36/18 = 2 moles

Qice + Qmelting + Qliquid1 + Qliquid2 = 0

2*38*(0 - (-10)) + 2*6007 + 2*75*(T - 0) + 20*75*(T - 20) = 0

760 + 12014 + 150T + 1500T - 30000 = 0

1650T = 17226

T = 10.44 °C

If 13.8 moles of carbon (c), with a density of 2.26 g/ml, are needed for a chemical reaction, how many milliliters of carbon are
charle [14.2K]

13.8 moles of carbon = 12 g/mol*13.8 or 165.6 grams

165.6 grams/ 2.26 g/mL = 73.27434 or 73.3 mL


I hope this helps!!!!
