Answer:

Please mark me brainliest. the answer is

Explanation:

The problem is that the desalination of water requires a lot of energy. Salt dissolves very easily in water, forming strong chemical bonds, and those bonds are difficult to break. Energy and the technology to desalinate water are both expensive, and this means that desalinating water can be pretty costly.

A 25.0 mL aliquot of 0.0680 M EDTA was added to a 59.0 mL solution containing an unknown concentration of V3 . All of the V3 pre

givi [52]

Answer:

$\mathbf{0.02 M}$

Explanation:

$\text{So, from the given question:}$

$\text{EDTA will make complex with}$ $V^{+3}$ $\text{and the remaining EDTA will react with }$ $Ga^{+3}$

$\text{Hence, the total concentration of}$ $V^{+3}$ & $Ga^{+3}$ $\text{will be equivalent to EDTA concentration.}$

$V_{EDTA} = 25 \ mL$

$V_{V^{+3}} = 59.0 \ mL$

$V_{Ga^{+3}} = 13.0 \ mL$

$M_{EDTA} = 0.0680 \ M$

$M_{V^{+3}} = ???(unknown)$

$M_{Ga^{+3}} = 0.0400 \ M$

$V^{+3} + EDTA \to V[EDTA] + EDTA(Excess) \to^{CoA} \ Ga[EDTA] _{complex}$

$M_{EDTA} \times V_{EDTA} = ( V_{V^+3}\times M_{V^{+3}}+ V_{Ga^{+3} }\times M_{Ga^{+3}}})$

$0.0680 \times 25 = (59\times x + 13 \times 0.040) \\ \\ 1.7 = 59x + 0.52\\ \\ 1.7 - 0.52 = 59x \\ \\ 59x = 1.18$

$x = \dfrac{1.18}{59}$

$\mathbf{x =0.02 \ M }$

Consider the reaction below. NH4+ + H2O mc013-1.jpg NH3 + H3O+ Which is an acid-conjugate base pair? NH4+ and NH3 NH4+ and H3O+

juin [17]

NH4+ and NH3 are an acid-conjugate base pair, since NH4+ is an acid, while NH3 is its conjugate base (since it is without the H+).
H2O and H3O+ can also be considered an acid-conjugate base pair, since H3O+ is an acid, while H2O would be its conjugate base. (But if only 1 answer is to be selected, it should be the NH4+ and NH3)
NH4+ and H3O+ are both acids, and both H2O and NH3 can be considered bases.
