<h3>Answer:</h3>
#1. Ca²⁺
# 2. Ca²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) → CaSO₄(s)
#3. 3Ag⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq) → Ag₃PO₄(s)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The question above concerns solubility of salts or ions in water.
The solution given contains Ag+, Ca2+, and Co2+ ions.
- In the first case, when Lithium bromide is added to the solution, there is no white precipitate formed.
- In the second case, the addition of Lithium sulfate results in the formation of a precipitate because of the Ca²⁺ in the solution combined with the SO₃²⁻ from lithium sulfate to form an insoluble CaSO₄.
- The net ionic equation for the reaction is;
Ca²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) → CaSO₄(s)
- From the solubility rules, all sulfates are soluble except BaSO₄, CaSO₄, and PbSO₄.
- In the third case, the addition of Lithium phosphate results in the formation of a precipitate because Ag⁺ ions in the solution combine with phosphate ions ( PO₄³⁻) from lithium phosphate to form an insoluble salt, Ag₃PO₄.
- The net ionic equation for the reaction is;
3Ag⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq) → Ag₃PO₄(s)
- According to solubility rules, all phosphates are insoluble in water except Na₃PO₄, K₃PO₄, and (NH₄)₃PO₄.
Answer:
A toilet requires a large amount of cold water to flush. So, when the toilet flushes while you're in the shower, it's stealing from your shower's cold water supply. When the pressure-balancing valve senses the drop in cold water pressure, it responds by restricting the hot water pressure.
The answer is 3.5 × 10^-3
