A geochemist in the field takes a 46.0 mL sample of water from a rock pool lined with crystals of a certain mineral compound X.

inysia [295]

Answer:

The solubility of the mineral compound X in the water sample is 0.0189 g/mL.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

The volume of water sample = 46.0 mL.

The weight of the mineral compound X after evaporation, drying, and washing = 0.87 g.

Step 2: Calculate the solubility of X in water

46.00 mL of water sample contains 0.87 g of the mineral compound X.

To calulate how many grams of the mineral compound 1.0 mL of water sample contains:

0.87 g/46.0 mL = 0.0189 g.

This means the solubility of the mineral compound X in the water sample is 0.0189 g/mL.

Complete the following single replacement reaction. If they don’t react, just write “NR”

Kipish [7]

Here we have to complete the given single replacement reactions.

The replacement reactions are-

1) Fe (s) + CuCl₂ (aq) → FeCl₂ (aq) + Cu (s)

2) Cu (s) + FeCl₂ (aq) → NA

3) K (s) + NiBr₂ (aq) → NA

4) Ni (s) + KBr (aq) → NiBr₂ (aq) + K (s)

5) Zn (s) + Ca(NO₃)₂ (aq) → Zn(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ca (s)

6) Ca (s) + Zn(NO₃)₂ (aq) → NA

The replacement reactions can be explained in light of the redox potential.

The standard reduction potential of the half cells involved in these reactions are:

Fe²⁺ + 2e → Fe (E° = -0.441V); Cu²⁺ + 2e → Cu (E° = 0.674V)

Ni²⁺ + 2e → Ni (E° = -0.23V); Zn²⁺ + 2e → Zn (E° = -0.763V)

We know the half cell reactions in which the standard reduction potentials are positive are allowed.

1) The reaction is possible as Cu²⁺/Cu and Fe/Fe²⁺ standard reduction potentials are positive.

2) The reaction is not possible as Cu/Cu²⁺ and Fe²⁺/Fe standard reduction potentials are negative.

3) The reaction is not possible as Ni²⁺/Ni standard reduction potential is negative.

4) The reaction is possible as Ni/Ni²⁺ standard reduction potential is positive.

5) The reaction is possible as Zn/Zn²⁺ standard reduction potential is positive.

6) The reaction is possible as Zn²⁺/Zn standard reduction potential is negative.

A boy kicks a ball with a force of 40 N. At exactly the same moment, a gust of wind blows in the opposite direction of the kick

aliya0001 [1]

B, the opposing forces are the same, thus, the ball doesn't move back or forward.

What is the first way in which biology researchers present the results of their latest research?

antoniya [11.8K]

Almost always, the first way in which biology researchers present the results of their latest research is to discuss the results of previous research that they want to build off of.

You are at home in your air conditioned garage. You are planning a family road trip from New York to Florida. You are lnfating t

Ksenya-84 [330]

Hello!

According to the Charles' Law, the volume of a gas is proportional to temperature when pressure is constant. When going from New York to Florida, if the pressure is left constant the volume of the tires will increase.

The final volume of the tires can be calculated from the following equation, derived from Charles' Law:

$V2= \frac{V1}{T1}*T2=\frac{10 L}{10degC}*32degC=32 L$

Have a nice day!
