Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- Use the solubility product constant from Appendix F to determine whether a precipitate will form if 10.0 mL of 1.0 106 M iron(II) chloride is added to 20.0 mL of 3.0 104 M barium hydroxide.arrow_forwardAccording to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?arrow_forwardThe ore cinnabar (HgS) is an important source of mercury. Cinnabar is a red solid whose solubility in water is 5.5 X 10-2 mol L-1. Calculate its \p. What is its solubility' in grams per 100 g of water?arrow_forward
- Write the equilibrium constant expression for each of the following reactions in terms of concentrations. (a) CO2(g) + C(s) 2 CO(g) (b) [Cu(NH3)4)2+(aq) Cu2+(aq) + 4 NH3(aq) (c) CH3CO2H(aq) + H2O() CH3CO2(aq) + H3O+(aq)arrow_forwardSome barium chloride is added to a solution that contains both K2SO4 (0.050 M) and Na3PO4 (0.020 M). (a) Which begins to precipitate first: the barium sulfate or the barium phosphate? (b) The concentration of the first anion species to precipitate, either the sulfate or phosphate, decreases as the precipitate forms. What is the concentration of the first species when the second begins to precipitate?arrow_forwardConsider the reaction BaF2(s)+SO42(aq)BaSO4(s)+2 F(aq) (a) Calculate K for the reaction. (b) Will BaSO4 precipitate if Na2SO4 is added to a saturated solution of BaF2?arrow_forward
- Write the expression for the equilibrium constant and calculate the partial pressure of CO2(g), given that Kp is 0.25 (at 427 C) for NaHCO3(s) NaOH(s) + CO2(g)arrow_forwardCalculate the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction N2(g)+2O2(g)2NO2(g) if the concentrations of the species at equilibrium are [N2] = 0.0013, [O2] = 0.0024, and [NO2] = 0.00065.arrow_forwardBecause calcium carbonate is a sink for CO32- in a lake, the student in Exercise 12.39 decides to go a step further and examine the equilibrium between carbonate ion and CaCOj. The reaction is Ca2+(aq) + COj2_(aq) ** CaCO,(s) The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 2.1 X 10*. If the initial calcium ion concentration is 0.02 AI and the carbonate concentration is 0.03 AI, what are the equilibrium concentrations of the ions? A student is simulating the carbonic acid—hydrogen carbonate equilibrium in a lake: H2COj(aq) H+(aq) + HCO}‘(aq) K = 4.4 X 10"7 She starts with 0.1000 AI carbonic acid. What are the concentrations of all species at equilibrium?arrow_forward
- . The solubility product of iron(III) hydroxide is very small: Ksp=41038at 25 °C. A classical method of analysis for unknown samples containing iron is to add NaOH or NH3. This precipitates Fe(OH)3, which can then be filtered and weighed. To demonstrate that the concentration of iron remaining in solution in such a sample is very small, calculate the solubility of Fe(OH)3in moles per liter and in grams per liter.arrow_forwardWrite an equation for an equilibrium system that would lead to the following expressions (ac) for K. (a) K=(Pco)2 (PH2)5(PC2H6)(PH2O)2 (b) K=(PNH3)4 (PO2)5(PNO)4 (PH2O)6 (c) K=[ ClO3 ]2 [ Mn2+ ]2(Pcl2)[ MNO4 ]2 [ H+ ]4 ; liquid water is a productarrow_forward
