(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equations for the 4
Concept introduction:
A chemical equation is said to be balanced if there are equal number of atoms of same elements present on both sides of the reaction arrow.
(b)
Interpretation:
The mass of lime in kg needed for the removal of phosphorus from 104 holding tanks containing contaminated water needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
According to
Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.
The density of a substance is defined as mass per unit volume. It is mathematically represented as follows:
Here, m is mass and V is volume of the substance.

- According 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 Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16Handbook) gives solubilities of the following compounds in grams per 100 mL of water. Because these compounds are only slightly soluble, assume that the volume does not change on dissolution and calculate the solubility product for each. (a) BaSiF6, 0.026 g/100 mL (contains SiF62- ions) (b) Ce(IO3)4, 1.5102 g/100 mL (c) Gd2(SO4)3, 3.98 g/100 mL (d) (NH4)2PtBr6, 0.59 g/100 mL (contains PtBr62- ions)arrow_forwardUse the appropriate tables to calculate H for (a) the reaction between MgC03(s) and a strong acid to give Mg2+(aq), CO2(g), and water. (b) the precipitation of iron(III) hydroxide from the reaction between iron(III) and hydroxide ions.arrow_forward
- Actually, the carbon in CO2(g) is thermodynamically unstable with respect to the carbon in calcium carbonate(limestone). Verify this by determining the standardGibbs free energy change for the reaction of lime,CaO(s), with CO2(g) to make CaCO3(s).arrow_forwardThe aluminum in a 1.2 g sample of impure ammonium aluminum sulfate was precipitated with aqueous ammonia. The precipitate was filtered and ignited at 1000 oC to give anhdrous Al2O3, which weighed 0.1798 g. Express the result of this analysis in terms of % NH4Al(SO4)2 and % Al2O3 (Molar mass of Al2O3 =101.96 g/mol, Molar mass of NH4Al(SO4)2= 237.15 g/mol)arrow_forwardSodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO,, also known as sodium bicarbonate or "baking soda", can be used to relieve acid indigestion. Acid indigestion is the burning sensation you get in your stomach when it contains too much hydrochloric acid (HCI) , which the stomach secretes to help digest food. Drinking a glass of water containing dissolved NaHCO, neutralizes excess HCl through this reaction: 圖 HCl(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H,O(1) + CO,(g) The CO, gas produced is what makes you burp after drinking the solution. Suppose the fluid in the stomach of a man suffering from indigestion can be considered to be 50. mL of a 0.089 M HCI solution. What mass of NaHCO, would he need to ingest to neutralize this much HCl ? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forward

The precipitate is then heated in a stream of chlorine gas, which converts it to 0.4562 g of silver chloride. Calculate the %w/w sodium nitrate in the sample.arrow_forwardImagine that you were the chief engineer for NASA's Apollo 13 mission to the moon. The air filter which they had been using is fully saturated and no longer works. The astronauts are running out of oxygen and need to get rid of the excess carbon dioxide. You remember that the astronauts have a container of 14.5 kg of sodium hydroxide on the ship. As a chemical engineer, you know that sodium hydroxide can be used to remove carbon dioxide from the air by producing sodium carbonate and dihydrogen monoxide. How many liters of carbon dioxide are cleaned by the amount of sodium hydroxide given in the problem? The astronauts have 3 days left before they land on earth. You know that there are 4 astronauts, and each astronaut emits roughly 700 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) each day. • How many liters of CO2 are produced by the astronauts? • Is there enough NaOH for the astronauts to survive the rest of their trip? If the astronaut survived the trip, how much NaOH was left over? If the astronaut…arrow_forward
