Magnesium hydroxide is used in several antacid formulations. When it is added to water it dissociates into magnesium and hydroxi

de ions. Mg(OH)2(s) Mg2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) The equilibrium constant at 25°C is 8.9 ´ 10-12. One hundred grams of magnesium hydroxide is added to 1.00 L of water and equilibrium is established. What happens to the solution if another 10 grams of Mg(OH)2 are now added to the mixture?

Answer:

If you add 10 more grams of Mg(OH)₂, the solution will shift the equilibrium to the ions production to consume the excessive Mg(OH)₂.

Explanation:

Mg(OH)₂(s) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

K = 8.9 x 10⁻¹²

K = [Mg²⁺][OH⁻]²

The concentration of Mg(OH)₂ does not enter the equation because it is in the solid state.

[Mg²⁺] = x

[OH⁻]²  = 2x

K = x.(2x)²

K = 4x³

4x³ =  8.9 x 10⁻¹²

x = 2.07 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L

At equilibrium:

[Mg²⁺] = x = 2.07 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L

[OH⁻]²  = 2x = 4.14 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

An acid is a substance that releases H⁺ in aqueous solution.

Explanation:

There are different acid-base theories, such as Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, Lewis, etc.

According to the Arrhenius theory, an acid is a substance that releases H⁺ in aqueous solution.

HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

On the other hand, according to the Arrhenius theory, a base is a substance that releases OH⁻ in aqueous solution.

NaOH(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

A mixture contains 25 g of cyclohexane (C6H12) and 44 g of 2-methylpentane (C6H14). The mixture of liquids is at 35 oC . At this
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The mol fraction of cyclohexane in the liquid phase is 0.368

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of cyclohexane = 25.0 grams

Mass of 2-methylpentane = 44.0 grams

Temperature = 35.0 °C

The pressure of cyclohexane = 150 torr

The pressure of 2-methylpentane = 313 torr

The pressure we only need for the mole fraction in gas phase.

Step 2: Calculate moles of cyclohexane

Moles cyclohexane = mass cyclohexane / molar mass

Moles cyclohexane = 25.0 g / 84 g/mol = 0.298 mol of cyclohexane

Step 3: Calculate moles of 2-methylpentane

Moles = 44.0 grams / 86 g/mol = 0.512 mol of 2-methylpentane

Step 4: Calculate mole fraction of cyclohexane in the liquid phase

Mole fraction of C6H12:

0.298 / (0.298 + 0.512) = 0.368

The mol fraction of cyclohexane in the liquid phase is 0.368

KF is a strong electrolyte, & HF is a weak electrolyte. How are they different?
Vitek1552 [10]

The strong electrolyte KF completely dissociates into K+ and F- ions when it dissolves in water. When the weak electrolyte HF dissolves in water, there are a few ions of H+ and F- present, but mostly dissolved HF molecules. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
