Addition of 12 M (concentrated) HCl to saturated NaCl results in precipitation of NaCl. Yet when 1 M HCl is added to the same Na

Cl solution, no precipitate forms. Explain.

Answer:

When we add 12M HCl, reaction quotient Qsp becomes greater than Ksp of NaCl leading to precipitation

Explanation:

When sodium chloride is dissolved in water, the equilibrium dissolution process known as Ksp is set up as typified by the equation;

NaCl(s)------> Na^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq)

According to Le Chatelier's principle, this system will remain in equilibrium after the addition of the 1M HCl. This explains why there will not be any change in the system after adding this solution.

However, addition of 12 M HCl will significantly distort the equilibrium position since there is now more Cl^- ion in the system. The system now seeks to relieve this stress by recrystallizing more sodium chloride leading to the formation of a precipitate. Succinctly put, when we add the 12M HCl, the reaction quotient Qsp becomes greater than Ksp of NaCl leading to precipitation of NaCl crystals.

A sample of ammonia gas at 75°c and 445 mm hg has a volume of 16.0 l. what volume will it occupy if the pressure rises to 1225 m
ioda
In this kind of exercises, you should  use the "ideal gas" rules: PV = nRT
P should be in Pascal: 
445mmHg = 59328Pa
1225mmHg = 163319Pa

V should be in cubic meter:
16L = 0.016 m3

R = \frac{PV}{nT} = constant
\frac{P1 V1}{n T} = \frac{P2 V2}{n T}
==> P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
V2 = \frac{P1 V1}{P2} = \frac{445 0.016}{1225}
V2 = 0.00581 m3 = 5.81 L

trapecia [35]

Answer:

B. a change in their state or substance

Explanation:

A change of state consists of a physical process in which the structure of the substance changes, its appearance. EXAMPLE: in the merger, the solid state becomes liquid, changes the rearrangement of particles from being highly compacted to being less compact.
