Explanation:

As atmospheric CO2 levels increase due to anthropogenic causes, dissolved CO2 also increases, which in turn decreases the pH of water. When water becomes saturated with CO2, it not only reduces the ocean's pH, but depletes the calcium carbonate sources as well ³⁵

Answer:

Yes, precipitation of barium iodate will occur.

Explanation:

Molarity of barium nitrate solution = 0.050 M

Volume of barium nitrate solution =15.0 mL = 0.0150 L

1 mL = 0.001 L

Moles of barium nitrate = n

$n=0.050 M\times 0.0150L=0.00075 mol$

$Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Ba^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)$

Moles of barium ions: $1\times 0.00075 mol=0.00075 mol$

Molarity of potassium iodate solution = 0.10 M

Volume of potassium iodate solution =100.0 mL = 0.1000 L

1 mL = 0.001 L

Moles of potassium iodate = n'

$n'=0.10 M\times 0.1000 L=0.01 mol$

$KIO_3(aq)\rightarrow K^{+}(aq)+IO_3^{-}(aq)$

Moles of iodate ions = $1\times 0.01 mol=0.01 mol$

After mixing of both solution in 250 mL in erlenmeyer flask

Volume of the final solution = 250 mL = 0.250 L

Concentration of barium ions in 250 mL solution :

$[Ba^{2+}]=\frac{0.00075 mol}{0.250 L}=0.003 M$

Concentration of iodate ions:

$[IO_3^{-}]=\frac{0.01 mol}{0.250 L}=0.04 M$

Solubility product of barium iodate, $K_{sp}=4.01\times 10^{-9}$

Ionic product of the barium iodate in solution : $K_i$

$Ba(IO_3)_2\rightleftahrpoons Ba^{2+}+2IO_3^{-}$

$K_i=[Ba^{2+}][IO_2^{-}]^2$

$K_i=0.003 M\times (0.04 M)^2=4.8\times 10^{-6}$

$K_{sp}$ ( precipitation)

As we can see, the ionic product of the barium iodate is greater than the solubility product of the barium iodate precipitation of barium iodiate will occur in 250 mL of final solution.

What best describes the collision between ideal gas molecules

Alika [10]

An ideal gas is defined as one in which all collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly eleastic and in which there are no intermolecular attractive forces. One can visualize it as a collection of perfectly hard spheres which collide but which otherwise do not interact with each other.
