Determine whether or not each ion contributes to water hardness.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Virty [35]3 years ago

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.

Which is an issue that governments must consider before passing conservation policies? urbanization implications cost to impleme
bixtya [17]

Answer:

urbanization implications

environmental implications

benefit versus the cost

Explanation:

Conservation involves preservation of organisms and their natural habitat to encourage biodiversity and reduces the risk of extinction.

Urbanization involves the loss of organism’s natural habitat due to deforestation and building of more structures such as buildings and road structures.Government must consider before passing conservation policies if the urbanization will have a bigger impact than conservation.

Environmental implications is also taken into account as the environment is where we live and makes it very important to ensure there are no negative effects.

The benefit and cost are weighed and the one with a lower cost and higher benefit is usually embraced.

The ksp of lead iodide is 7.1 × 10-9. a chemical engineer adds 0.0025 mol of ki to a solution of 0.00004 mol pb(no3)2 in 500 ml
inn [45]
Answer is: n<span>o, because the ion product is less than the Ksp of lead iodide. </span>

Chemical dissociation 1: KI(s) → K⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq).
Chemical dissociation 2: Pb(NO₃)₂(s) → Pb²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq).
Chemical reaction: Pb²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) → PbI₂(s).
Ksp(PbI₂) = 7.1·10⁻⁹.
V = 500 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0.5 L.
c(KI) = c(I⁻) = 0.0025 mol ÷ 0.5 L.
c(I⁻) = 0.005 M.
c(Pb(NO₃)₂) = c(Pb²⁺) = 0.00004 mol ÷ 0.5 L.
c(Pb²⁺) = 0.00008 M.
Q = c(Pb²⁺) · c(I⁻)².
Q = 8·10⁻⁵ M · (5·10⁻³ M)².
Q = 2·10⁻⁹; <span> the ion product.</span>
