Answer the following questions about the solubility of AgCl(s). The value of Ksp for AgCl(s) is 1.8 × 10−10.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

[Ag⁺] = 1.3 × 10⁻⁵M

s = 3.3 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

Because the common ion effect.

Explanation:

1. Value of [Ag⁺] in a saturated solution of AgCl in distilled water.

The value of [Ag⁺] in a saturated solution of AgCl in distilled water is calculated by the dissolution reaction:

AgCl(s) ⇄ Ag⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

The ICE (initial, change, equilibrium) table is:

AgCl(s) ⇄ Ag⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

I X 0 0

C -s +s +s

E X - s s s

Since s is very small, X - s is practically equal to X and is a constant, due to which the concentration of the solids do not appear in the Ksp equation.

Thus, the Ksp equation is:

Ksp = [Ag⁺] [Cl⁻]

Ksp = s × s

Ksp = s²

By substitution:

1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ = s²

s = 1.34 × 10⁻⁵M

Rounding to two significant figures:

[Ag⁺] = 1.3 × 10⁻⁵M ← answer

2. Molar solubility of AgCl(s) in seawater

Since, the conentration of Cl⁻ in seawater is 0.54 M you must introduce this as the initial concentration in the ECE table.

The new ICE table will be:

AgCl(s) ⇄ Ag⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

I X 0 0.54

C -s +s +s

E X - s s s + 0.54

The new equation for the Ksp equation will be:

Ksp = [Ag⁺] [Cl⁻]

Ksp = s × ( s + 0.54)

Ksp = s² + 0.54s

By substitution:

1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ = s² + 0.54s

s² + 0.54s - 1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 0

Now you must solve a quadratic equation.

Use the quadratic formula:

$s=\dfrac{-0.54\pm\sqrt{0.54^2-4(1)(-1.8\times 10^{-10})}}{2(1)}$

The positive and valid solution is s = 3.3×10⁻¹⁰ M ← answer

3. Why is AgCl(s) less soluble in seawater than in distilled water.

AgCl(s) is less soluble in seawater than in distilled water because there are some Cl⁻ ions is seawater which shift the equilibrium to the left.

This is known as the common ion effect.

By LeChatelier's principle, you know that an increase in the concentrations of one of the substances that participate in the equilibrium displaces the reaction to the direction that minimizes this efect.

In the case of solubility reactions, this is known as the common ion effect: when the solution contains one of the ions that is formed by the solid reactant, the reaction will proceed in less proportion, i.e. less reactant can be dissolved.

Choose the correct option for the redox reaction below : 8H+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 5Fe2+(aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 5Fe3+(aq) 4H2O(l) H+ (oxid

hodyreva [135]

Explanation:

8H+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 5Fe2+(aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 5Fe3+(aq) + 4H2O(l)

To determine if a substance was reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number at the reactant and product side is compared.

When oxidation occurs, an element loses electrons and its oxidation number increases (becomes more positive). When reduction occurs, an element gains electrons and its oxidation number decreases or is reduced (becomes more negative).

H+ (oxidized or reduced) Answer 1 Choose...

There is an increase in oxidation number from 0 to 1. This means H+ was oxidized.

MnO4- (oxidizing or reducing agent) Answer 2 Choose...

In chemistry, an oxidizing agent is a substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances — in other words to accept their electrons

MnO4- is a strong oxidizing agent.

Fe2+ (oxidizing or reducing agent) Answer 3 Choose...

A reducing agent means it will itself get oxidized. In this reaction, Fe2+ is the reducing agent.

Fe2+ (oxidized or reduced) Answer 4 Choose...

Oxidized

O in MnO4- (oxidized or reduced) Answer 5 Choose...

There is no change in oxidation number of , so it was neither reduced nor was it oxidized.

Mn in MnO4- (oxidized or reduced) Answer 6 Choose...

There is a decreaase in oxidation number from +7 to +2. This means reduction.

What makes calcium and nitrogen different list two differences

liberstina [14]

Answer:

the difference in electronegativity is so large (2.04) that the bonding electrons spend almost all their time on the nitrogen atom.

Explanation:

Because calcium loses 2 electrons to become Ca2+, and nitrogen gains 3 electrons to become N3−, you need two calcium atoms and three nitrogen atoms in order to form a neutral compound.
