In a group 1 analysis, a student obtained a precipitate containing both agcl and pbch. which of the following reagents would enable separation of agcl(s) from pbcl(s)? o hys 0 na2co3 o koh o nh3 o

We can separate AgCl and PbCl₂ by adding hot water.

Explanation:

In order to separate group one salts/ions is important to consider their solubility.

PbCl₂ is more soluble in water then AgCl and, when we increase water's temperature, PbCl₂ solubility icireases significantly. However, AgCl solubility does not change considerably.

Therefore, when we add hot water to the solution, the PbCl₂ will be dissolved and AgCl will remain as a precipitate.

atomic mass = 39

number of neutrons = 20

number of protons= 19

electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

the number of electron in first shell = 2

number of electrons in n=3 shell = 8

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
