Answer:

The town should find a new source of water.

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert the mass of copper to milligrams

We will use the conversion factor 1 g = 1000 mg.

0.002 g × (1000 mg/1 g) = 2 mg

Step 2: Convert the mass of solution to kilograms

We will use the conversion factor 1 kg = 1000 g.

1000 g × (1 kg/1000 g) = 1 kg

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of Cu in ppm (mg/kg)

2 mg/1 kg = 2 ppm

This is over 1.3 ppm, so the town should find a new source of water.

A thermodynamically unfavorable reaction can become favorable when coupled to a highly ________ reaction. A thermodynamically un
amid [387]

Answer:

Ionic Exergonic

Explanation:

Exergonic reactions have negative Gibbs free energy and hence are spontaneous.

Endergonic reactions have negative Gibbs free energy and are non-spontaneous and low temperature.

Endergonic reactions require external supply of energy. But such reactions can be made spontaneous or favorable by coupling with exergonic reaction via a common intermediate.

Therefore, the correct answer is Ionic Exergonic.

A salt crystal has a mass 0.14mg,How many NaCl formula units does it contain?
klemol [59]
To determine the number of formula units in a sample of a compound you need to divide the number of grams by the formula mass. The formula mass of NaCl is 23 g/mol + 35.5 g/mol = 58.5 g/mol, and the number of grams of the sample is 0.14 mg * 1 g/ 1000 mg = 0.00014 g. Then the answer is 0.00014 g / 58.5 g = 2.30 * 10^ -6, which rounded to two significant figures is 2.4 * 10^ -6. So<span> the answer is 2.4 * 10^-6 or 0.0000024</span>

Consider the Bohr model of the simplest atom, hydrogen. What energy photon will be released if an electron falls from the n= 2 o
Nana76 [90]
<h2>Ultraviolet Light</h2>

Explanation:

  • The energy of a photon that will be released if an electron falls from the n= 2 orbit (excited state) to the n0 = 1 orbit (ground state) is of ultraviolet light.
  • In the ultraviolet part of the spectrum, a photon having an energy of 10.2 eV has a wavelength of 1.21 x 10-7 m.
  • Hence, when an electron wants to jump or it gets excited from the first level to the second level that is from n = 1 orbit to n = 2 orbits, it must absorb a photon of ultraviolet light.
  • But,When an electron falls from n = 2 orbit to n = 1 orbit  or from n = 2 orbit(excited state) to n = 0 orbit(groubd state), it emits a photon of ultraviolet light.

A solution contains one or more of the following ions: Ag+, Ca2+, and Co2+. Lithium bromide is added to the solution and no prec
olchik [2.2K]
<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.
