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.

Give the coordination number of the central metal ion in the following complex ions.
melomori [17]

Answer:

a). Coordination no. of [Ni(en)_2(NH_3)_2]^2+ = 6

b). Coordination no. of [Fe(en)(ox)Cl_2]^2- = 6

Explanation:

Coordination number is defined as number of donar atoms bonded to the central atom of the complex ion.

a). Coordination no. of [Ni(en)_2(NH_3)_2]^2+ = 6

en or ethylenediamine is a bidentate ligand.

In bidentate ligand, two atoms directly bonded to the central atom.

NH3 is a unidentate ligand.

So, coordination no.= No. of bidentate ligand x 2 + No. of unidentate ligand

                                = 2\times 2 + 2 = 6

b). Coordination no. of [Fe(en)(ox)Cl_2]^2- = 6

Ethylenediamine (en) is a bidentate ligand.

oxalate ion (ox) is also a bidentate ligand.

Cl is a unidentate ligand

So, coordination no.= No. of bidentate ligand x 2 + No. of unidentate ligand

                                = 2\times 2 + 2 = 6

Why sulphur has two melting point values
Fofino [41]

I don't know how well known/accepted this is (it's in my textbook so I'm guessing it's right), but Sulphur has two forms - the alpha and beta forms ,apparently gamma sulphur exists as well.

The alpha form is rhombic, yellow in color and has a MP of 385.8 K. The beta form is colorless and has a MP of 393 K and is formed by melting rhombic sulphur and cooling it till a crust forms on top. Poke a hole and pour out the liquid inside and you get beta sulphur. The transition point is 369K - below it, alpha sulphur is stable and above it, beta sulphur is stable. Both have helped. I had to pull out an old textbook and that's something that I don't usually do.
