A sample of hard water contains of dissolved magnesium tetraoxosulfate(VI), . What mass, in grams, of anhydrous sodium trioxocarbonate(IV), , is required to completely precipitate all the magnesium ions as magnesium trioxocarbonate(IV) and soften the water?
Cevap: 318 g
Cevap
318 g of anhydrous sodium trioxocarbonate(IV) is required.
Permanent water hardness caused by soluble magnesium salts like magnesium tetraoxosulfate(VI) () is removed by reaction with sodium trioxocarbonate(IV) (). The balanced reaction shows a 1:1 molar ratio. A volume at contains of , which requires of . Multiplying by its molar mass () gives .
