An industrial plant processes its waste water through a sedimentation tank that removes hazardous metals by precipitating them as insoluble carbonate salts. If sodium carbonate is gradually added to the tank, what would be the order of precipitation of the metals, Pb2+, Cu2+, Hg22+, and Zn2+ if each is  1.0  104 M? ( Ksp PbCO3 = 7.4  1014, Ksp CuCO3 = 1.4  1010, Ksp Hg2CO3 = 8.9  1017, and Ksp ZnCO3 = 1.4  1011)
   
  a.
  Pb2+, Hg22+, Zn2+, Cu2+
   
  b.
  Hg22+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Cu2+
   
  c.
  Cu2+, Zn2+, Pb2+, Hg22+
   
  d.
  Cu2+, Zn2+, Hg22+, Pb2+
   
  e.
  All metal ions will precipitate at the same time.

Question 2

A solution is 0.010 M in each of Pb(NO3)2, Mn(NO3)2, and Zn(NO3)2. Solid NaOH is added until the pH of the solution is 8.50. Which of the following statements is true?
   Salt
  Ksp
  Pb(OH)2
  1.4  1020
  Mn(OH)2
  2.0  1013
  Zn(OH)2
  2.1  1016
   
   
  a.
  No precipitate will form.
   
  b.
  Only Pb(OH)2 will precipitate.
   
  c.
  Only Mn(OH)2 will precipitate.
   
  d.
  Only Zn(OH)2 and Pb(OH)2 will precipitate.
   
  e.
  All three hydroxides will precipitate.

Patients should never assume they are being given the appropriate drugs. They should make sure they know which drugs are being prescribed, and always double-check that the drugs received match the prescription.

Did you know?

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Approximately 15–25% of recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage. However, many miscarriages often occur before a woman even knows she is pregnant.

Did you know?

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
