0.10 M potassium chromate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.20 M AgNO3 and 0.20 M Ba(NO3)2. What is the Ag+ concentrati

erastova [34]

Answer:

$[Ag^{+}]=4.2\times 10^{-2}M$

Explanation:

Given:

[AgNO3] = 0.20 M

Ba(NO3)2 = 0.20 M

[K2CrO4] = 0.10 M

Ksp of Ag2CrO4 = 1.1 x 10^-12

Ksp of BaCrO4 = 1.1 x 10^-10

$BaCrO_4 (s)\leftrightharpoons Ba^{2+}(aq)\;+\;CrO_{4}^{2-}(aq)$

$Ksp=[Ba^{2+}][CrO_{4}^{2-}]$

$1.2\times 10^{-10}=(0.20)[CrO_{4}^{2-}]$

$[CrO_{4}^{2-}]=\frac{1.2\times 10^{-10}}{(0.20)}= 6.0\times 10^{-10}$

Now,

$Ag_{2}CrO_4(s) \leftrightharpoons 2Ag^{+}(aq)\;+\;CrO_{4}^{2-}(aq)$

$Ksp=[Ag^{+}]^{2}[CrO_{4}^{2-}]$

$1.1\times 10^{-12}=[Ag^{+}]^{2}](6.0\times 10^{-10})$

$[Ag^{+}]^{2}]=\frac{1.1\times 10^{-12}}{(6.0\times 10^{-10})}= 1.8\times 10^{-3}$

$[Ag^{+}]=\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-3}}=4.2\times 10^{-2}M$

So, BaCrO4 will start precipitating when [Ag+] is 4.2 x 1.2^-2 M

A 50/50 blend of engine coolant and water (by volume) is usually used in an automobile's engine cooling system. If a car's cooli

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{109.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C}}$

Explanation:

Data:

50/50 ethylene glycol (EG):water

V = 4.70 gal

ρ(EG) = 1.11 g/mL

ρ(water) = 0.988 g/mL

Calculations:

The formula for the boiling point elevation ΔTb is

$\Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}b$

i is the van’t Hoff factor — the number of moles of particles you get from 1 mol of solute. For EG, i = 1.

1. Moles of EG

$\rm n = 0.50 \times \text{4.70 gal} \times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{1000 mL}}{\text{1 L}} \times \dfrac{\text{1.11 g}}{\text{1 mL}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{62.07 g}} = \text{159 mol}$

2. Kilograms of water

$m = 0.50 \times \text{4.70 gal} \times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{998 g}}{\text{1 L}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{1000 g}} = \text{8.88 kg}$

3. Molal concentration of EG

$b = \dfrac{\text{159 mol}}{\text{8.88 kg}} = \text{17.9 mol/kg}$

4. Increase in boiling point

$\rm \Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}b = 1 \times 0.512 \, \, ^{\circ}\text{C} \cdot kg \cdot mol^{-1} \, \times 17.9 \cdot mol \cdot kg^{-1} = 9.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C}$

5. Boiling point

$\rm T_{b} = T_{b}^{\circ} + \Delta T_{b} = 100.00 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} + 9.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} = \mathbf{109.17 \, ^{\circ}C}\\\rm \text{The boiling point of the solution is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{109.17 \, ^{\circ}C}}$}$

What is an ionic bond?

andrew11 [14]

In ionic bond there is the formation of ions due to transfer of electrons from one atom<span> to </span>the other. Normally, at this link, there is an element that tends to yield electrons (metal-cation), and one that tends to receive electrons (not metal-anion).
Note: the Ionic bond is the only in the transfer of electrons<span>.</span>

how to determine the aspects for core and valence electrons in a periodic table. How comes in some elements like cobalt the 3d i

dusya [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The electron configuration of an atom in an element determines the property of the atom. The core electrons are found inside the atom while the valence electrons are found on the outermost shell of the atom.

For cobalt, the outermost shell electron configuration is; [Ar] 3d7 4s2. The 3d7 and 4s2 are found in the valence shell of cobalt.

For arsenic, the electronic configuration is [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p³. The valence electrons are 4s2, 4p3. The 3d electrons are found inside the arsenic atom.
