You are presented with a white solid and told that due to careless labeling it is not clear if the substance is barium chloride,

lead chloride, or zinc chloride.when you transfer the solid to a beaker and add water,the solid dissolves to give a clear solution.next a na2so4(aq) solution is added and a white precipitate forms. what is the identity of the unknown white solid?

The given salts are Barium chloride, lead chloride and zinc chloride.

The balanced chemical reaction between barium chloride and sodium sulfate:

BaCl_{2}(aq)+Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq)-->2NaCl(aq)+BaSO_{4}(s)_{white precipitate}

The balanced chemical reaction between lead chloride and sodium sulfate:

PbCl_{2}(aq)+Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq)-->2NaCl(aq)+PbSO_{4}(s)_{white precipitate}

The balanced chemical reaction between zinc chloride and sodium sulfate:

ZnCl_{2}(aq)+Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq)-->2NaCl(aq)+ZnSO_{4}(aq)

Both Barium chloride and lead chloride produce a white precipitate of their respective sulfates upon reaction with sodium sulfate. But BaCl2 is readily soluble in water where as Lead chloride is insoluble in water.

Therefore, the compound is barium chloride.

How many hydrogen bonds can CH2O make to water
VladimirAG [237]
Hydrogen bonds are not like covalent bonds. They are nowhere near as strong and you can't think of them in terms of a definite number like a valence. Polar molecules interact with each other and hydrogen bonds are an example of this where the interaction is especially strong. In your example you could represent it like this: 

<span>H2C=O---------H-OH </span>

<span>But you should remember that the H2O molecule will be exchanging constantly with others in the solvation shell of the formaldehyde molecule and these in turn will be exchanging with other H2O molecules in the bulk solution. </span>

<span>Formaldehyde in aqueous solution is in equilibrium with its hydrate. </span>

<span>H2C=O + H2O <-----------------> H2C(OH)2</span>

What is the hydronium ion concentration of a solution whose pH is 7.30
Assoli18 [71]
[ H₃O⁺] = 10 ^ - pH

[ H₃O⁺ ] = 10 ^ - 7.30

[ H₃O⁺ ] = 5.011 x 10⁻⁸ M

What is the millimolar solubility of oxygen gas, o2, in water at 16 ∘c, if the pressure of oxygen is 1.00 atm?
Artyom0805 [142]
Partial pressure is the amount of pressure or force that is exerted by the atoms into the outer environment. it is dependent on the temperature and pressure of the present surroundings. in this case, we are asked in this problem to determine the partial pressure of oxygen at 16oC and 1 atm. We have to look into a solubility data table commonly found in handbooks and determined via experiments and correlations. According to literature, the value of the partial pressure is equal to 0.617 mM.This is under the assumption that the salinity of the water in which oxygen is dissolved is equal to zero.
