A solution is 5 mM in each of the following ions: number ion Ksp of M(OH)2 1 Mg2+ 1.8e-11 2 Cd2+ 2.5e-14 3 Co2+ 1.6e-15 4 Zn2+ 4.4e-17 5 Cu2+ 2.2e-20 Indicate which of the metal ions would precipitate (or start to precipitate) at each of the following pH values. Indicate your answer with the number of the ion. Use 0 to indicate no precipitate. If more than one precipitate is expected, list the numbers in increasing order and separate them with commas. For example, 3,4,5 is ok but 5,4,3 is not. pH = 7.00: pH = 9.00: What is the pH to the nearest 0.1 pH unit at which Cu(OH)2 begins to precipitate? pH =

b. accuracy of the data matters alot more than its number of digits, organization or amount of detail. quantitative observation is more accepted than the qualitative observation.

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
