Ou encounter a solution that is acidic and you decide to test it by adding a small amount of a strong acid. the ph lowers slight

zimovet [89]

We can conclude that the solution is an <em>acid buffer</em>. A buffer system is when a weak acid is mixed with its salt. Its purpose is to resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base is added.

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%

An atom of sodium-23 (Na-23) has a net charge of +1. Identify the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Explanation: Sodium has an atomic number of 11, so it has 11 protons. The atomic mass is 23, so there are 23 − 11 = 12 neutrons. The charge is +1, so there is 1 more proton than electrons, so there are 10 electrons
