Thanks for the quiz.
DeleteExam 3 submitted via Adobe reader submit form.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure about my answer for number 7, because I couldn't find a a solubility expression for PuO2 in the lecture notes or in literature, so I guessed one that included OH- to incorporate pH in my answer. I remember this being on quiz 11, but I couldn't find an answer key to that to check my expression.
K=[Pu4+][OH-]^4
DeleteBecause PuO2 is dissolved in water.
PuO2+(H20)-->(Pu4+) + 4(OH-) + (H20)

DeleteThe Ksp is correct above. An example is given for UO2 on page 20 of lecture 11 on speciation.

ReplyDeletethanks Noah!
DeleteFor question 6, why is Er not included as part of the answer? In lecture 12 slide 54, though only slightly studied, the table says that lanthanides should form a separate phase. Eu was included in the answer, but not Er.
ReplyDeletesorry, Er should be included.
DeleteThe change for Er has been made.
