Determine whether a precipitate will form when 0.96g of Na2CO3 is combined with 0.20g BaBr2 in a 10 L solution.

Qsp > Ksp, BaCO3 will precipitate

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

Na2CO3 + BaBr2 > 2NaBr + BaCO3

Since BaCO3 may form a precipitate we can determine the Qsp of the system.

Number of moles of Na2CO3 = 0.96g/106 g/mol = 9.1 * 10^-3 moles

concentration of NaCO3 = number of moles/volume of solution = 9.1 * 10^-3 moles/10 L = 9.1 * 10^-4 M

Number of moles of BaBr2 = 0.20g/297 g/mol = 6.7 * 10^-4 moles

concentration of BaBr2 = 6.7 * 10^-4 moles/10 L = 6.7 * 10^-5 M

Hence;

[Ba^2+] = 6.7 * 10^-5 M

[CO3^2-] = 9.1 * 10^-4 M

Qsp = [6.7 * 10^-5] [9.1 * 10^-4]

Qsp = 6.1 * 10^-8

But, Ksp for BaCO3 is 5.1*10^-9.

Since Qsp > Ksp, BaCO3 will precipitate

your parents i think this could be it

on passing the small ampere of electric current through the tube made of ar and hg of cfl generates uv rays which excites the fluorescent and thus emits the high radiation by consumption of just 5- 12 w in comparison to incandescent light which requires more power such as around 40 - 55 w to lighten.

moreover the life span of fluorescent or cfl is around 8000 h whereas the life span of incandescent is around 1200 h

hence, the building installed with incandescent lights bears more electricity bill.
