Answer:

The wind is starting to blow stronger, and when you’re riding in a basket under a hot air

balloon, just 400 feet above ground, that’s not necessarily a good thing. Keith Rodriguez looks

to the horizon and squints. He had planned to take off from Scioto Downs, a horse racetrack

south of Columbus, Ohio, fly a few miles north, and land his balloon in a barren cornfield next

to his pickup truck.

Then the wind changed. Instead of a light breeze from the south, now Rodriguez’s bright red

balloon is getting hit by stronger, colder winds from the west. He has plenty of propane fuel in

his tank—he probably could ride the wind halfway to Pennsylvania. But that would be

dangerous. Rodriguez’s choice of landing sites just became very limited. As the balloon

switches direction and floats east, everything below becomes a wide carpet of suburban

sprawl—big‐box stores, major highways, strip malls. Beyond the stores lie forests.

A solution contains 0.0440 M Ca2 and 0.0940 M Ag. If solid Na3PO4 is added to this mixture, which of the phosphate species would

Olenka [21]

Answer:

C. $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ will precipitate out first

the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ remaining = 12.86%

Explanation:

Given that:

A solution contains:

$[Ca^{2+}] = 0.0440 \ M$

$[Ag^+] = 0.0940 \ M$

From the list of options , Let find the dissociation of $Ag_3PO_4$

$Ag_3PO_4 \to Ag^{3+} + PO_4^{3-}$

where;

Solubility product constant Ksp of $Ag_3PO_4$ is $8.89 \times 10^{-17}$

Thus;

$Ksp = [Ag^+]^3[PO_4^{3-}]$

replacing the known values in order to determine the unknown ; we have :

$8.89 \times 10 ^{-17} = (0.0940)^3[PO_4^{3-}]$

$\dfrac{8.89 \times 10 ^{-17}}{(0.0940)^3} = [PO_4^{3-}]$

$[PO_4^{3-}] =\dfrac{8.89 \times 10 ^{-17}}{(0.0940)^3}$

$[PO_4^{3-}] =1.07 \times 10^{-13}$

The dissociation of $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

The solubility product constant of $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ is $2.07 \times 10^{-32}$

The dissociation of $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ is :

$Ca_3(PO_4)_2 \to 3Ca^{2+} + 2 PO_{4}^{3-}$

Thus;

$Ksp = [Ca^{2+}]^3 [PO_4^{3-}]^2$

$2.07 \times 10^{-33} = (0.0440)^3 [PO_4^{3-}]^2$

$\dfrac{2.07 \times 10^{-33} }{(0.0440)^3}= [PO_4^{3-}]^2$

$[PO_4^{3-}]^2 = \dfrac{2.07 \times 10^{-33} }{(0.0440)^3}$

$[PO_4^{3-}]^2 = 2.43 \times 10^{-29}$

$[PO_4^{3-}] = \sqrt{2.43 \times 10^{-29}$

$[PO_4^{3-}] =4.93 \times 10^{-15}$

Thus; the phosphate anion needed for precipitation is smaller i.e $4.93 \times 10^{-15}$ in $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ than in $Ag_3PO_4$ $1.07 \times 10^{-13}$

Therefore:

$Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ will precipitate out first

To determine the concentration of $[Ca^+]$ when the second cation starts to precipitate ; we have :

$Ksp = [Ca^{2+}]^3 [PO_4^{3-}]^2$

$2.07 \times 10^{-33} = [Ca^{2+}]^3 (1.07 \times 10^{-13})^2$

$[Ca^{2+}]^3 = \dfrac{2.07 \times 10^{-33} }{(1.07 \times 10^{-13})^2}$

$[Ca^{2+}]^3 =1.808 \times 10^{-7}$

$[Ca^{2+}] =\sqrt[3]{1.808 \times 10^{-7}}$

$[Ca^{2+}] =0.00566$

This implies that when the second cation starts to precipitate ; the concentration of $[Ca^{2+}]$ in the solution is 0.00566

Therefore;

the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ remaining = concentration remaining/initial concentration × 100%

the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ remaining = 0.00566/0.0440 × 100%

the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ remaining = 0.1286 × 100%

the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ remaining = 12.86%

How is synthesis and decomposition reaction related to each other???

Anit [1.1K]

They are kind of opposite processes. Chemical synthesis is execution of chemical reactions to make products. Like you take two substances, you put them together, they react and you have new a substance. For example. $2Na+{ Cl }_{ 2 }\rightarrow 2NaCl$ here Sodium and Chlorine react to make a new substance which is Sodium Chloride.

Chemical decomposition is process of seperating a substance to different substances. There is a substance by a reaction this substance becomes two substances, Like : XY -> X+Y For example : $2{ H }_{ 2 }O(l)\quad \rightarrow 2{ H }_{ 2 }+{ O }_{ 2 }$

Which of the following statements is not a description of asteroids?

seraphim [82]

Answer: Most of them lie in a belt between Earth and Mars.

Explanation:

Asteroids are small rocky bodies having irregular shape size which orbit sun. Majority of the asteroids are found in a belt between orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Scientists presume that these asteroids are remains of a planet that never formed between Mars and Jupiter due to great gravitational pull of the largest planet of the solar -system - Jupiter.

Thus, the incorrect description of the asteroids is: Most of them lie in a belt between Earth and Mars.

How many core electrons are in a ground state atom of selenium?

Harman [31]

Electrons in an atom can be classified as core electrons and valence electrons. Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in valence shell and participates in bond formation. While, Core electrons are all remaining electrons which are not present in valence shell, hence not take part in bonding.

Atomic number of Selenium (Se) is 34 hence it has 34 electrons with following electronic configuration;

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁴

From electronic configuration it is found that the valence shell is 4, and the number of electrons present in valence shell are 6. So,

Core Electrons = Total Electrons - Valence Electrons

Core Electrons = 34 - 6

Core Electrons = 28

Result:
There are 28 core electrons in Selenium.
