Using complete sentences, explain how to predict the products and balance the reaction between sulfuric acid and potassium hydro
xide.
1 answer:
The product(s) of the reaction are to be determined given the reactants, sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide. sulfuric acid is an acid, whereas potassium hydroxide is a basic. The results of this neutralizing process are salt and water.
<h3>What is the reaction between sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide?</h3>The result will be, H+ from H₂SO₄ reacts with OH- from KOH to generate H₂O. Also, K+ reacts with SO₄²⁻ to create K₂SO4₄
As a result, the balanced equation will be:
Thus, the product(s) of the reaction are to be determined given the reactants, sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide. Sulfuric acid is an acid, whereas potassium hydroxide is a basic. The results of this neutralizing process are salt and water.

Answer:
AgI, AgBr, AgCl and Ag₂CrO₄
Explanation:
Ksp (product solubility constant) is defined as the equilibrium constant of the general reaction:
XₐYₙ(s) → aXⁿ⁺(aq) + nYᵃ⁻(aq)
<em>Where X is cation and Y is anion.</em>
Ksp = [aXⁿ⁺]ᵃ [nYᵃ⁻]ⁿ
The presence of XₐYₙ(s) produce ax moles of aXⁿ⁺ and nx moles of Yᵃ⁻. <em>Where X is the solubility of the compound.</em>
Replacing in Ksp:
Ksp = [ax]ᵃ [nx]ⁿ
Solving for x, Solubility (S) is defined as:
For AgCl, Ag₂CrO₄, AgBr and AgI solubilities are:
= 1.34x10⁻⁵M
= 6.50x10⁻⁵M
= 7.35x10⁻⁷M
= 9.22x10⁻⁹M
The lower solubility is the first compound in precipitate, thus, order of precipitation is:
<em>AgI, AgBr, AgCl and Ag₂CrO₄</em>
