Determine the minimum concentration of the precipitating agent on the right to cause precipitation of the cation from the solution on the left. a. 0.035 M Ba(NO3)2; NaF b. 0.085 M Calz; K2SO4 c. 0.0018 M AgNO3; RbCI

a) 0.0265M

b) 8.35×10^-4M

c) 9.833×10^-8M

Explanation:

First we must write down the equation of each reaction. After identifying the insoluble precipitate, we go ahead to write down the expression for its solubility product. If the solubility product of the compound is known, the concentration of the precipitating agent can now be calculated from the available information in the question.

the catch is that the top numbers are atomic masses the bottom numbers are the numbers of protons and electrons in an uncharged atom. they are the number of that atoms as you would find them on the periodic table. further, the numbers on the left are used to determine the missing numbers on the right

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z

answer

Ch4 and ph3 are both covalent since they are composed both of non-metals.    ch4 is non- polar because of  london forces and has a geometry of tetrahedral  ph3 , on the other hand, is umbrella shaped polar and has dipole-dipole intermolecular force (imf) . since ph3 is polar, it has a stronger imf
