Answer:

He is determining physical properties that are sufficient to identify the metal.

Explanation:

  • A physical property is an aspect of matter that can be observed or measured without changing it. Examples of physical properties include color, molecular weight and volume.
  • A chemical property may only be observed by changing the chemical identity of a substance.
  • <em>Density, electrical conductivity, and melting point are considered as physical properties and are sufficient to identify a metal as these properties are independent of the  amount of substance being examined.</em>
  • These properties are known as intensive properties and are used  to identify a substance by comparing the obtained values with standard values.

So, the right choice is:

He is determining physical properties that are sufficient to identify the metal.

Hydroxyapatite, Ca 10 ( PO 4 ) 6 ( OH ) 2 Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 , has a solubility constant of Ksp = 2.34 × 10 − 59 2.34×10−59 , and d
Margarita [4]

Answer:

1.315x10⁻³M = [Ca²⁺]

Explanation:

Based in the reaction:

Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂(s) ⇄ 10Ca²⁺(aq) + 6PO₄³⁻(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

Solubility product, ksp, is defined as:

ksp = [Ca²⁺]¹⁰ [PO₄³⁻]⁶ [OH⁻]²

From 1 mole of hydroxyapatite are produced  10 moles of Ca²⁺ and 6 moles of PO₄³⁻. That means moles of PO₄³⁻ are:

6/10 Ca²⁺ = PO₄³⁻

Replacing in ksp formula:

ksp = [Ca²⁺]¹⁰ [0.6Ca²⁺]⁶ [OH⁻]²

As [OH⁻] is 2.50x10⁻⁶M and ksp is 2.34x10⁻⁵⁹:

2.34x10⁻⁵⁹ =  [Ca²⁺]¹⁰ [0.6Ca²⁺]⁶ [2.50x10⁻⁶]²

3.744x10⁻⁴⁸ = 0.046656[Ca²⁺]¹⁶

<em />

<em>1.315x10⁻³M = [Ca²⁺]</em>

<em />

I hope it helps!

A 0.1064 g sample of a pesticide was decomposed by the action of sodium biphenyl. The liberated Cl- was extracted with water and
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Percentage of an aldrin in the sample is 44.41%.

Explanation:

Cl^-+AgNO_3\rightarrow AgCl+NO_{3}^-

Molarity of the silver nitrate solution = 0.03337 M

Volume of the silver nitrate = 23.28 mL = 0.02328 L

Moles of silver nitrate = n

0.03337 M=\frac{n}{0.02328 L}

n = 0.03337 M\times 0.02328 L=0.0007768 mol

According to reaction 1 mole of silver nitrate recats with 1 moles of chloride ions.

Then 0.0007768 moles of silver nitrate will react with:

\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0007768 mol=0.0007768 mol chloride ions.

In one mole of aldrin there are 6  moles of chloride ions.

Then moles of aldrin containing 0.0007768 moles chloride ions are:

\frac{0.0007768 mol}{6}=0.0001295 mol

Moles of aldrin present in the sample = 0.0001295 mol

Mass of 0.0001295 moles of aldrin present in the sample :

0.0001295 mol × 364.92 g/mol =0.04726 g

Percentage of an aldrin in the sample:

\frac{0.04726 g}{0.1064 g}\times 100=44.41\%

Why are the concentrations of [H3O+] and [OH−] equal in pure water?
kotegsom [21]

Answer : The correct option is, (A) [H_3O^+]=[OH^-] because one of each is produced every time an [H^+] transfers from one water molecule to another.

Explanation :

As we know that, when the two water molecule combine to produced hydronium ion and hydroxide ion.

The balanced reaction will be:

HOH+HOH\rightarrow H_3O^++OH^-

Acid : It is a substance that donates hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.

Base : It is a substance that accepts hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.

From this we conclude that, the hydrogen ion are transferred from one water molecule to the another water molecule to form hydronium ion and hydroxide ion. In this reaction, one water molecule will act as a base and another water molecule will act as an acid.

Hence, the correct option is, (A)

Kaylis [27]

Physical changes occur when the properties of a substance are retained and/or the materials can be recovered after the change. Chemical changes involve the formation of a new substance. Formation of a gas, solid, light, or heat are possible evidence of chemical change.
