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.

erik [133]
<h2>Answer </h2>

Matter

<u>Explanation </u>

A matter has distinct properties and composition that never vary. The matter is anything which possesses mass and occupies space. The matter has different characteristics and a distribution that does not change from unit to unit. Materials which cannot be disintegrated into simpler materials. Each is made of only one kind of atom in subatomic level. For example, a chair, table, and similar everything that has mass and occupies space is matter.
