Why does the sand on a beach get so much warmer than the water on a sunny day?

It’s because sand is a poor conductor of heat so when the sun warms the sand, the heat is not disturbed evenly. Also the specific heat of sand is is lower than that of water.

Calculate the solubility of Ca(OH)2 in a 0.469M CaCl2 solution at 31°C, given that the Ksp of Ca(OH)2 is 4.96 x 10-6 at that tem
Ghella [55]

The solubility of Ca(OH)2 in a 0.469M CaCl2 solution at 31°C, at given Ksp of Ca(OH)2 is determined as 1.626 mM.

<h3>Dissociation reaction of Ca(OH)2</h3>

The dissociation reaction of Ca(OH)2 is given as follows;

Ca(OH)₂  ⇄ Ca²⁺  + 2OH⁻¹

                     x           2x

Concentration of Ca²⁺ = 0.469 M

Ksp = [x][2x]²

ksp = (0.469)(2x²)

ksp = 4(0.469)x²

ksp = 1.876x²

4.96 x 10⁻⁶ = 1.876x²

x² = (4.96 x 10⁻⁶)/(1.876)

x² = 2.643 x 10⁻⁶

x = √(2.643 x 10⁻⁶)

x = 1.626 x 10⁻³ M

x = 1.626 mM

Thus, the solubility of Ca(OH)2 in a 0.469M CaCl2 solution at 31°C, at given Ksp of Ca(OH)2 is determined as 1.626 mM.

Iodine-131 has a half-life of 8.10 days. In how many days will 50 grams of Iodine-131 decay to one-eighth of its original amount
shtirl [24]
What you need to do is find 1/8 of 50
you can just divide 50 by 8 to get 6.25
so now you have to find how many days it will take till there are 6.25 grams of iodine left
every 8.1 days its mass is split in half 
so start splitting it in half and every time you do, you add 8.1 days
50/2 =25                                               8.1
25/2 =12.5                                        +  8.1
12.5/2= 6.25                                      +8.1
now you have reached 1/8 of the original amount of Iodine-131
so to find how long it took just add 8.1+8.1+8.1
(this is the same as 8.1x3)
which equals 24.3
it will take 24.3 days for Iodine 131 to decay to 1/8  of its original mass.

(good luck on the regent if thats what your studying for :)

Consider the following system at equilibrium where H° = -87.9 kJ, and Kc = 83.3, at 500 K. PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) PCl5(g) When 0.17 mo
BigorU [14]

Answer:

K remains the same;

Q < K;

The reaction must run in the forward direction to reestablish the equilibrium;

The concentration of PCl_3 will decrease.

Explanation:

In this problem, we're adding an excess of a reactant, chlorine gas, to a system that is already at equilibrium. According to the principle of Le Chatelier, when a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the equilibrium shifts toward the side of the equilibrium that minimizes the disturbance.

Since we'll have an excess of chlorine, the system will try to reduce that excess by shifting the equilibrium to the right. Therefore, the reaction must run in the forward direction to reestablish the equilibrium.

The value of K remains the same, as it's only temperature-dependent, while the value of Q will be lower than K, that is, Q < K, as Q < K is the case when reaction proceeds to the right.

As a result, since PCl_3 is also a reactant, its concentration will decrease.
