A sample of 0.3220 g of an ionic compound containing the bromide ion Br is dissolved in water and treated with an excess of AgNO3 If the mass of the AgBr precipitate that forms is 0.6964 g?

A sample of 0.3220 g of an ionic compound containing the bromide ion Br is dissolved in water and treated with an excess of AgNO3 If the mass of the AgBr precipitate that forms is 0.6964 g then bromide=0.3220g and AgBr precipitate=0.6964.


What is it called when you remove salt from saltwater?

Desalination, desalinization, or desalinisation refers to any of several processes that remove excess salt and other minerals from water. More generally, desalination may also refer to the removal of salts and minerals, as in soil desalination.


List the three agents of metamorphism and describe the role of each?

Recall that any rock can be changed to a metamorphic rock. Whatever the beginning rock is, it is called the PROTOLITH of the metamorphic rock it is transformed into. Three things contribute in varying proportions to the transformation from a protolith to a metamorphic rock: heat, pressure, and fluids (mostly water with dissolved ions).1. HEAT contributes to the process in two ways. First, atoms may combine differently at different temperatures. This means that a mineral stable at one temperature might become unstable at a higher (or lower) temperature and be converted to a different mineral with a more stable atomic structure. This may or may not involve changing the exact elemental composition. Second, heat makes practically all chemical reactions go faster, meaning that mineral transformations are much easier at higher temperature.2. PRESSURE also has two effects. As with heat, it can control which minerals or forms of minerals are stable. Some minerals may be converted to minerals with similar composition but different atomic packing simply because pressure is increased. The exact nature of the pressure is not important in this case, only the amount. Thus the CONFINING (or LITHOSTATIC) PRESSURE created by deep burial of rocks under sediment may have this effect as well as the DIRECTED (or DIFFERENTIAL) PRESSURE produced by converging plates. The second effect of pressure is to reorient minerals with linear or platy structure or to create a preferred orientation of them as they form. Thus elongate minerals such as amphiboles, or platy minerals such as clays or micas tend to align themselves parallel to each other when under pressure. This only happens when there is directedpressure; confining pressure does not accomplish it. The diagram illustrates the effect. A texture of this sort in a metamorphic rock is called FOLIATION and the rocks are said to be FOLIATED.3. FLUIDS serve only to speed up other metamorphic processes, or perhaps even allow them to happen at all. Chemical reactions require water, and most proceed much faster as the amount of water goes up. Dissolved ions in the fluid also make those mineral transformations that require chemical changes in the minerals to occur, whether by supplying needed ions or flushing away excess ones.


How does geology influence water supply technology choice?

Some examples would be a) in limestone regions, the groundwater will contain dissolved alkaline minerals, which will coat the lining of pipes, and may even interfere with the action of soap. b) in regions with a shallow iron deposits (from volcanic deposits perhaps) there may be dissolved iron salts in the water which will discolour the water, will make it taste sour, and may react with cooking. c) in countries with volcanic ash soils, then there may well be excess arsenic in the water, which has many health problems. Shallow 'tube wells' in India would be an example. In each case, careful selection of methods for water treatment may be required.


How can sodium hydrogen carbonate relieve a stomach with excess acid?

Sodium hydrogen carbonate is another name for sodium bicarbonate, which has the chemical formula NaHCO3. Stomach acid is hydrochloric acid that reacts with sodium bicarbonate in a chemical reaction to neutralize stomach acid. The chemical equation is HCl + NaHCO3 produces NaCl + CO2 + H2O.

What is the chemical make up of ionized water?

Ionized water is a mixture of water and dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium. In order to become ionized, water is subjected to a process called electrolysis - a process that subjects water to electrical current. Ionized water molecules will have either excess protons or electrons as a result of the electrolysis. Water with excess protons will become alkaline in pH, water with excess electrons will become acidic.

Are minerals toxic in excess?

All minerals, like all things, are toxic in excess. They can create irreparable harm to the body if one is not careful in exceeding the dosage of certain minerals. Some harm could be organ damage and memory loss, among other things.
