Answer:
Explanation:
The solution contain 0.01 M concentration of Ba²⁺
0.01M concentration of Ca²⁺
Ksp ( solubility constant) for BaSO₄ = 1.07 × 10⁻¹⁰
Ksp for CaSO₄ = 7.10 × 10⁻⁵
(BaSO₄) = (Ba²⁺) (SO₄²⁻)
1.07 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 0.01 M (SO₄²⁻)
1.07 × 10⁻¹⁰ / 0.01 = ( SO₄²⁻)
1.07 × 10⁻⁸ M = ( SO₄²⁻)
so the minimum of concentration of concentration sulfate needed is 1.07 × 10⁻⁸ M
For CaSO₄
CaSO₄ = ( Ca²⁺) ( SO₄²⁻)
7.10 × 10⁻⁵ = 0.01 (SO₄²⁻)
(SO₄²⁻) = 7.10 × 10⁻⁵ / 0.01 = 7.10 × 10⁻³ M
so BaSO₄ will precipitate first since its cation (0.01 M Ba²⁺) required a less concentration of SO₄²⁻ (1.07 × 10⁻⁸ M ) compared to CaSO₄
b) The minimum concentration of SO₄²⁻ that will trigger the precipitation of the cation ( 0.01 M Ba²⁺) that precipitates first is 1.07 × 10⁻⁸ M
Apples turn brown when exposed to air because it undergoes aerial oxidation. Due to this, when the inside of the apple is exposed to the air containing oxygen and water, it turns brown. When apple is uncut, skin of the apple protects it from this process.
If the peeled apple in kept in the refrigerator, the oxidation reaction is greatly slowed down. This is because, rate of chemical reaction decreases with temperature. Hence, in refrigerator it would take several days for it to turn brown.
Color change. Smell change. Or temperature change. All are signs of chemical reaction
