Answer:

c) The Ksp remains the same.

Explanation:

The solubility product constant, Ksp is essentially an equilibrium constant which represents the extent to which a solute dissolves in a solvent.

In the given situation, the PbCl2 equilibrium can be represented as:

PbCl_{2}(s)\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^{-}(aq)

Ksp = [Pb^{2+}][Cl^{-}]^{2}

Addition of NaCl will introduce a common ion i.e. Cl-. This would increase its concentration and solubility. This will change the reaction quotient. However, the value of Ksp which is the 'equilibrium constant' will reamin unaffected since it is a constant at a given temperature.

For the question above, the answer would be C. The Ksp remains the same. The common ion effect will change the concentrations of the ions in thesolution, but the value of Ksp is CONSTANT at a constant temperature thus Ksp does not change.

How many moles of ethylene (C2H4) can react with 12.9 liters of oxygen gas at 1.2 atmospheres and 297 Kelvin? C2H4(g) + 3O2(g) y
7nadin3 [17]
1) Convert 12.9 liters of Oxygen to mol at the given conditions:

PV = nRT ⇒ n = PV/RT

n = [1.2atm*12.9 l] / [0.082 atm l /K mol * 297K]

n = 0.636 mol of O2

2) use the stoichiometry derived from the balanced chemical equation

 1mol C2H4 / 3  mol O2 =  x mol C2H4 / 0.636 mol O2

x = 0.636 / 3 mol O2 = 0.212 mol O2.

Answer: 0.212 mol O2

Is condensation an exothermic or endothermic process? Based on Le Cha^telier’s principle, would you predict the vapor pressure o
Irina18 [472]

Explanation:

A process in which water vapor changes into liquid state is known as condensation. As we know that when energy is released in a reaction then it is known as exothermic reaction and when energy is absorbed in a reaction then it is known as endothermic reaction.

As vapors have high energy so, when they change into liquid state then heat energy is released by them. Therefore, condensation is an exothermic reaction.

As per Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance caused in an equilibrium reaction will tend to shift the equilibrium in a direction away from the disturbance.

So, when there will occur a decrease in temperature then molecules of a gas will come closer to each other. Hence, there will also occur a decrease in vapor pressure of the gas.

What is the mass of an object with a net force of 10 N accelerating at 2 m/s^2??
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

5kg

Explanation:

Force = Mass x acceleration

F = ma

m = F/a = 10N/2m/s^2

m = 10/2 = 5kg

The standard unit for mass = Kilogram

Briefly explain in your own words why the bond angle increases as the number of electron groups decreases
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

i) The bond angle decreases due to the presence of lone pairs, which causes more repulsion on the bond pairs and as a result, the bond pairs tend to come closer. ii) The repulsion between electron pairs increases with an increase in electronegativity of the central atom and hence the bond angle increases.
