A solution contains 14 grams of KCl in 100. grams of water at 40°C. What is the minimum amount of KCl that must be added to make

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

1386g

Explanation:

Solubility of a solute is the ability of the solute to mix into a liquid (the solvent). It measures the highest amount of substance mixed into a liquid solvent while they are both at equal amounts.

if 14g dissolved in 100cm3

the amount that will dissolve in 1000cm3 = 14 x 1000/ 100

=1400g

To form a saturated solution, 1400 - 14 = 1386g must be added.

What is the molarity of a strong acid solution with a pH of 3?

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Since HCl is a strong acid, it completely ionizes, and the pH of HCl in solution can be found from the concentration (molarity) of the H+ ions, by definition equal to 0.100 M. (The conjugate base of the acid, which is the chloride ion Cl–, would also have a concentration of 0.100 M.) The pH is thus –log(0.100) = 1.000.

A 7.0 g sample of a hydrocarbon (a molecule that has only hydrogen and carbon) is subject to combustion analysis. The mass of CO

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $CH_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon and hydrogen follows:

$C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=22.0g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 22.0 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 22.0=6g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

Mass of hydrogen = Mass of sample - Mass of carbon

Mass of hydrogen = 7.0 g - 6 g

Mass of hydrogen = 1.0 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{6g}{12g/mole}=0.5moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.0g}{1g/mole}=1.0moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.5 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.5}{0.5}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.0}{0.5}=2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Fe : C : H = 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{1}H_{2}=CH_2$

Based on solubility rules what ions in water might interfere with the analysis of calcium ions by precipitation of calcium carbo

Pavlova-9 [17]

First, we must know what happens in the precipitation reaction. This type of reaction is a double replacement reactions. It is consists of two reactant compounds which interchange cations and anions to form two products. One of the products is an insoluble solid called a precipitate. For the precipitation of CaCO₃, there are two consecutive reactions involved:

1. Slaking of quicklime, CaO
CaO + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂

2. Precipitation
Ca(OH)₂ + CO₂ ⇒ CaCO₃ + H₂O

The ions that make up the H₂O molecule are H⁺ and OH⁻. According to solubility rules, the cation (positively charged ion) is likely to be attracted to an anion (negatively charged ion). Together, they form an ionic bond. This type of bond is when there is a complete transfer of electrons between the two. The Ca²⁺ cation lacks 2 electrons, while the anion OH⁻ has an excess 1 electron. In order to be stable, 1 Ca²⁺ ion and 2 OH⁻ ions must combine.

Therefore, the answer is OH⁻ ion.
