Document Summary

In h2s, the s is 2, in so4: many intermediate oxidation states possible, there are bacteria available that can make use of sulfate. 2 , the s is +6: sulfate is able of accepting electrons. It can be an oxidizing agent when o2 may not be available. Acid mine drainage: when fe2+ comes in contact with air, the o2 oxidizes the fe2+ to fe3+, forming insoluble fe(oh)3, analogous reaction occurs in some mines (both coal and metal) and in material left open to the environment. Fes2 is a sta(cid:271)le, i(cid:374)solu(cid:271)le (cid:272)o(cid:373)po(cid:374)e(cid:374)t of u(cid:374)de(cid:396)g(cid:396)ou(cid:374)d (cid:396)o(cid:272)k . if no contact with air. Large amounts of concentrated acid are produced; ph 0 - 2 (but can be negative!) Problem 10-9: ksp of fe(oh)2 = 7. 9 x 10 15, ksp of fe(oh)3 = 6. 3 x 10 38, calculate solubilities of fe2+ and fe3+ at ph = 8. poh = 6 , [oh-] = 10 ^-6 molar.
