PLease Answer all parts of the following:
a) The recommended daily allowance of calcium for men between the ages of 19 to 50 is 1 000 mg Ca. Three multivitamin tablets are analyzed for calcium gravimetrically with the precipitation of calcium cation by oxalate anion. If the mass dry calcium oxalate obtained is 2.0136 g, how many tablets must a man take in a given day to meet the recommended daily allowance? Ca2+(aq) + C2O42−(aq) ==> CaC2O4 (s)
b) Aqueous lead precipitates when mixed with aqueous carbonate.
Pb2+(aq) + CO32−(aq) ==> PbCO3(s)
If 5.000 g Pb(NO3)2and 2.500 g Na2CO3are mixed in water, which ion is the limiting reactant? What mass PbCO3is precipitated? (PbCO3= 267.21 g/mol, Pb(NO3)2= 331.2 g/mol, Na2CO3= 105.9888 g/mol)
