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

A family takes a summer vacation to Florida. They drive for 8 hours before stopping at a hotel for the night. They
andrezito [222]

Average speed of the trip = 52 km/hr

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Distance is the length traveled by an object within a certain of time .

Average speed = total distance/total amount of  time ,

Can be formulated :

\tt S(speed)=\dfrac{D}{T}

Total distance travelled : 1560 km

Total time : 8 hr + 12 hr + 10 hr = 30 hr

\tt avg.speed=\dfrac{tot~D}{tot~T}\\\\avg.speed=\dfrac{1560}{30}\\\\avg.speed=52~km/hr

Calculate the ΔHrxn for the following
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

2 NO (g) → N2 (g) + O2 (g)

2 NOCl (g) → 2 NO (g) + Cl2 (g)

____________________________

2NOCl (g) ⟶ N2 (g) + O2 (g) + Cl2 (g)

ΔH = [90.3 kJ x 2 x -1] +  [-38.6 kJ x -1 x 2] = -103.4 kJ

The ΔH for the reaction is -103.4 kJ

You have 1.0 mole of each compound below. which has the greatest mass?
kramer
(a) Iron (iii) sulphate:
From the periodic table:
mass of iron = 55.845 grams
mass of sulphur = 32.065 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Iron (iii) sulphate has the formula: Fe2(SO4)3
molar mass = 2(55.845) + 3(32.065) + 3(4)(16) = 399.885 grams

(b) Sodium hydroxide:
From the periodic table:
mass of sodium = 22.989 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
Sodium hydroxide has the formula: NaOH
molar mass = 22.989 + 16 + 1 = 39.989 grams

(c) Barium carbonate
From the periodic table:
mass of barium = 137.327 grams
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Barium carbonate has the formula: BaCO3
molar mass = 137.327 + 12 + 3(16) = 197.327 grams

(d) ammonium nitrate:
From the periodic table:
mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Ammonium nitrate has the formula: NH4NO3
molar mass = 14 + 4(1) + 14 + 3(16) = 80 grams

(e) Lead (iv) oxide
From the periodic table:
mass of lead = 207.2 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Lead (iv) oxide has the formula: PbO2
molar mass = 207.2 + 2(16) = 239.2 grams

From the above calculations, we can see that:
Iron (iii) sulphate has the greatest mass.
