The answer to this question would be: bones and teeth

Bones and teeth are made of calcium and fluoride. This makes the bone and teeth sturdy and able to take much more force. Bones are used to be the body framework and teeth is used to digest food. When the level of calcium in the blood is too low, the calcium from bones can be digested by osteoclast to increase the calcium level in the blood.

What type of compound is fe3n2

Shkiper50 [21]

Fe3N2, also known as Iron (II) nitride, is an ionic compound.

Ionic compounds are compounds that consists of metals and non-metals bonded with ionic bonds. The metal ion gives up electron(s) to the non-metals.

Since iron is a metal and nitrogen is an non-metal, the bond they would form would be an ionic bond. Iron gives up 2 electrons to form iron(II) ion, while nitrogen gains 3 electrons to form nitride ion. Since one iron cannot let a nitrogen gain 3 electrons, so in the compound, there would be 3 iron (ii) ions that has given up 6 electrons in total while 2 nitride ions have gained 6 electrons in total.

1) A potassium carbonate hydrate has a formula K2CO3.XH2O. 10g of the hydrate leave 7.83g of anhydrous salt upon heating. Deduce

OLEGan [10]

The formula of the hydrated potassium carbonate salt is K₂CO₃.2H₂O

Based on the calculated mass ratio of carbon and oxygen in carbon dioxide, carbon has a fixed composition.

<h3>What are hydrated compounds?</h3>

Hydrated compounds are compounds that contain one or more molecules of water physically combined with a molecule of the compound.

The formula of the hydrated potassium carbonate salt is determined as follows:

Mass of the hydrated sample = 10.0 g

Mass of anhydrous salt = 7.83

mass of water = 10 - 7.83

mass of water = 2.17 g

Molar mass of water = 18.0 g

Molar mass of anhydrous potassium carbonate = 138 g

moles of anhydrous potassium carbonate in sample = 7.83/138

moles of anhydrous potassium carbonate = 0.056 moles

moles of water in the hydrated salt = 2.17/18

moles of water in the hydrated salt = 0.12

Mole ratio of water to anhydrous salt = 0.12/0.056

Mole ratio of water to anhydrous salt = 1 : 2

Formula of hydrated salt = K₂CO₃.2H₂O

The mass ratio of carbon to oxygen in the compounds is given below:

Sample 1:

Mass ratio = 3.62 / (13.26 - 3.62)

Mass ratio = 0.38 : 1

Sample 2:

Mass ratio = 5.91 / (21.66 - 5.91)

Mass ratio = 0.38 : 1

Sample 3:

Mass ratio = 7.07 / (25.91 - 7.07)

Mass ratio = 0.38 : 1

Carbon has a fixed composition.

Look at sample problem 19.10 in the 8th ed Silberberg book. Write the Ksp expression. Find the concentrations of the ions you ne

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

$CaF_2 \to Ca^{2+} + 2F^-$

$Ksp = 3.2 \times 10^{-11}$

no of moles of $Ca^{2+}$ = 0.01 L × 0.0010 mol/L

no of moles of $Ca^{2+}$ = $1 \times 10^{-5} \ mol$

no of moles of $F^-$ = 0.01 L × 0.00010 mol/L

no of moles of $F^-$ = $1 \times 10^{-6}\ mol$

Total volume = 0.02 L

$[Ca^{2+}}] = \dfrac{1\times10^{-5} \ mol}{0.02 \ L} \\ \\ \\ \[[Ca^{2+}}] = 0.0005 \ mol/L$

$[F^{-}] = \dfrac{(1\times 10^{-6} \ mol)}{0.02 \ L}$

$[F^{-}] = 5 \times 10^{-5} \ mol/L$

$Q = [Ca^{2+}][F^-]^2 \\ \\ Q = 0.0005 \times (5\times 10^{-5})^2 \\ \\ Q = 1.25 \times 10^{-12}$

Since Q<ksp, then there will no be any precipitation of CaF2
