Kidney stones are caused by the precipitation of either calcium oxalate, Ca(C2O4), or calcium phosphate, Ca3(PO4)2, in the kidne

ys. If the normal concentration of Ca2+ in the kidneys is 2.5 mM, at what concentration of oxalate ion will kidney stones begin to form?

Answer:

1.1 × 10⁻⁶ M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

  • Concentration of Ca²⁺ ([Ca²⁺]): 2.5 mM = 2.5 × 10⁻³ M
  • Calcium oxalate solubility product constant (Ksp): 2.7 × 10⁻⁹

Step 2: Write the balanced equation for the solution reaction of calcium oxalate

CaC₂O₄(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq)

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of the oxalate ion to begin the precipitation of calcium oxalate

We will use the Ksp of calcium oxalate.

Ksp = 2.7 × 10⁻⁹ = [Ca²⁺].[C₂O₄²⁻]

[C₂O₄²⁻] = Ksp / [Ca²⁺]

[C₂O₄²⁻] = 2.7 × 10⁻⁹ / 2.5 × 10⁻³

[C₂O₄²⁻] = 1.1 × 10⁻⁶ M

II. Binding Forces A. Write a brief, one or two sentence, description of each binding force listed below. 1. London dispersion f
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

All description is given in explanation.

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces:

It is the general term used to describe the attraction or repulsion between the molecules. Vander waals force consist of two types of forces:

1.  London dispersion forces

2.  Dipole-dipole forces

1. London dispersion forces:

These are the weakest intermolecular forces. These are the temporary because when the electrons of atoms come close together they create temporary dipole, one end of an atom where the electronic density is high is create negative pole while the other becomes positive . These forces are also called induce dipole- induce dipole interaction.

2.  Dipole-dipole forces:

These are attractive forces , present between the molecules that are permanently polar. They are present between the positive end of one polar molecules and the negative end of the other polar molecule.

Hydrogen bonding:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the atoms which are chemically bonded. The one atom is hydrogen while the other electronegative atoms are oxygen, nitrogen or flourine. This is weaker than covalent and ionic bond.

Ionic bond or electrostatic attraction:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the oppositely charged ions. This is formed when an atom loses its electron and create positive charge and other atom accept its electron and create negative charge.

Hydrophobic interaction:

It is the interaction between the water and hydrophobic material. The hydrophobic materials are long chain carbon containing compound. These or insoluble in water.

Covalent bond:

These compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms of same elements are between the different element's atoms. The covalent bond is less stronger than ionic bond so require less energy to break as compared to the energy require to break the ionic bond.
