While the number nuclear protons as given is 34, and therefore we deal with the element selenium, there are 2 more electrons than protons, and therefore this species has an overall
2
−
charge.
We represent this selenide ion as
S
e
2
−
. Do I win 5 pounds?
Z= 34, therefore the atom is selenium
Answer:
The halogens, nitrogen and sulphur are covalently bonded to the organic compounds. In order to detect them, the elements need to be converted into their ionic forms. This is done by fusing the organic compound with sodium metal. ... The extract is called sodium fusion extract or Lassaigne's extract.
Solubility
product constants are values to describe the saturation of ionic compounds with
low solubility. A saturated solution is when there is a dynamic equilibrium
between the solute dissolved, the dissociated ions, the undissolved and the
compound. It is calculated from the product of the ion concentration in the
solution. For the generic salt, AB2, the dissociation would be as
follows:<span>
AB2 = A2+ + 2B-
So, the expression for the solubility product would be:
Ksp = [A2+] [B-]^2
</span>Ksp = [x] [2x]^2 = 4x^3
<span>
where x = </span><span>3.72×10^−4 M
</span><span>
Ksp = </span>4( 3.72×10^−4 )^3
Ksp = 2.06x10^-10 M^3
The solubility product constant of AB2 would be Ksp = 2.06x10^-10 M^3.
