Stalactites and stalagmites form as ________ precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

Group of answer choices

hydrochloric acid

sodium bicarbonate

calcium carbonate

sodium chloride

sodium hydroxide

Answer:

calcium carbonate

Explanation:

A stalactite is an icicle-looking mould that is formed by the precipitation of natural minerals as a result of water dripping from the ceiling, hanging from a cave.

A stalagmites in the other hand, grows upwards and is also a mound that is formed by the deposits of minerals gotten by the water dripping on the floor of a cave.

Therefore, stalactites and stalagmites form as calcium carbonate precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

Tentukan pH Mg(OH)2 jika ke dalam larutan MgCl2 0,2M ditambahkan NH4OH sehingga
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

pH 8.89

Explanation:

English Translation

If the MgCl₂ solution of 0.2 M has its pH raised by adding NH₄OH, the precipitate will begin to form at a pH of approximately.

Given the solubility product (Ksp) of Mg(OH)₂ = 1.2 x 10⁻¹¹

Assuming all of the salts involved all ionize completely

MgCl₂ ionizes to give Mg²⁺ and Cl⁻

MgCl₂ ⇌ Mg²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

1 mole of MgCl₂ gives 1 moles of Mg²⁺

Since the concentration of Mg²⁺ is the same as that of MgCl₂ = 0.2 M

Mg(OH)₂ is formed from 1 stoichiometric mole of Mg²⁺ and 2 stoichiometric moles of OH⁻

Ksp Mg(OH)₂ = [Mg²⁺][OH⁻]²

(1.2 x 10⁻¹¹) = 0.2 × [OH⁻]²

[OH⁻]² = (6×10⁻¹¹)

[OH⁻] = √(6×10⁻¹¹)

[OH⁻] = 0.000007746 M

p(OH) = - log [OH⁻] = - log (0.000007746)

pOH = 5.11

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 5.11 = 8.89

Hope this Helps!!!
