The reagent that can separate Fe³⁺ from Zn²⁺ is NaOH.

Explanation :

NaOH precipitates Fe³⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions in the form of their insoluble hydroxides.

The net ionic equations for these reactions are given below.

Fe^{3+} (aq)+ 3OH^{-}(aq)\rightarrow Fe(OH)_{3}(s)

Zn^{2+} (aq)+ 2OH^{-}(aq)\rightarrow Zn(OH)_{2}(s)

But when excess of NaOH is added, Zinc hydroxide forms a soluble complex ion known as "zincate" ion and gets dissolved in the solution . The reaction is given below.

Zn^{2+} (aq)+ 4OH^{-}(aq)\rightarrow [Zn(OH)_{4}]^{2-}(aq)

Therefore in order to separate a mixture of Fe³⁺ and Zn²⁺, we have to add excess of NaOH and boil the mixture in water bath to ensure that the reaction goes to completion.

During this process, Fe³⁺ gets precipitated as Fe(OH)₃ whereas Zn²⁺ forms a soluble complex ion [Zn(OH)₄]²⁻ which remains in the solution.

When we filter the mixture, Fe³⁺ gets filtered off as a precipitate whereas Zn²⁺ remains in the solution. In this manner , the given ions can be separated.

Explain why you hear a “whoosh” sound when you open a can containing a carbonated drink. Which gas law applies?
Lana71 [14]

Carbonated drinks have the air under pressure so that carbon bubbles are forced into the drink, keeping it carbonated. So when you open a can, the air under pressure in the can comes out of the can at a high speed, making a "whooshing" sound. The gas law that applies to this concept is the Boyle's Law (PV=k or P1V1=P2V2).

The amount of substance present in a certain object with a given half-life in terms of h can be expressed through the equation,

     A(t) = (A(o))(0.5)^(t/h)

where A(t) is the amount of substance after t years and A(o) is the original amount. In this item we are given that A(t)/A(o) is equal to 0.89. Substituting the known values,

     0.89 = (0.5)(t / 5730 years)

The value of t from the equation is 963.34 years.

Select the statement(s) that explain(s) the relationship between the arrangement of elements by size and first ionization energy
kow [346]

c. A full s subshell is able to shield a newly filled p subshell from the nucleus, making the first electron in a p subshell easy to remove.

Explanation:

From the given options, a full s-sublevel is able to shield a newly filled p-subshell from the nucleus thereby making the first electron in a p-subshell easy to remove is correct.

What is ionization energy?

Ionization energy is a measure of the readiness of an atom to lose an electron.

First ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron in the gas phase.

The size of an atom/element depends on the number of electrons it contains. The more the electrons, the larger its size.

  • The larger an atom becomes the lesser the ionization energy needed to remove the first electron from its outermost shell.

Electron - electron repulsion occurs when two electrons in the same sub-level repels one another.

Shielding effect is the ability of the inner electrons to protect the outer electrons from the pull of the nuclear charge.

In option C, a s-subshell has a greater shielding effect than the p,d and f sub-shell in that order.

A newly introduced electron in the p-sublevel will be loosely held and easier to remove.

What are the coefficients that will balance this skeleton equation? AlCl3 + NaOH → Al(OH)3 + NaCl
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The coefficients are 1, 3, 1, 3

Explanation:

The equation;

AlCl3 + NaOH → Al(OH)3 + NaCl

can be balanced by using the coefficients  1, 3, 1, 3, such that the balanced equation will be;

AlCl3 + 3NaOH → Al(OH)3 + 3NaCl

Chemical equations needs to be balanced so as to follow the law of conservation of mass. This occurs when the number of the different atoms of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.
