Answer:
1. (NH₄)₂S(s) -----> NH₄+(aq) + S²-(aq)
2. Al³+ (aq) + PO₄³+ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s)
Explanation:
The dissociation of ammonium sulphide, (NH₄)₂S when dissolved in water is given in the equation below:
(NH₄)₂S(s) -----> NH₄+(aq) + S²-(aq)
However very little S²- ions are present in solution due to the very basic nature of the S²- ion (Kb = 1 x 105).
The ammonium ion being a better proton donor than water, donates a proton to sulphide ion to form hydrosulphide ion which exists in equilibrium with aqueous ammonia.
S²- (aq) + NH₄+ (aq) ⇌ SH- (aq) + NH₃ (aq)
Aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfide are smelly due to the release of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, hence, their use in making stink bombs.
2. The reaction between aluminium nitrate and sodium phosphatein aqueous solution is a double decomposition reaction whish results in the precipitation of insoluble aluminium phosphate. The equation of the reaction is given below :
Al(NO₃)₃ (aq) + Na₃PO₄ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s) + 3 NaNO₃ (aq)
The net ionic equation is given below:
Al³+ (aq) + PO₄³+ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s)
Answer:
Modern whales evolved by natural selection over long time periods through descent from common ancestors
Explanation:
According to the evolutionary theory proposed by Darwin, natural selection is a biological process by which organisms adapt and change in response to their environment. In this case, ancient whales that were better suited to environmental conditions survived and produced more offspring than non-adapted individuals. In consequence, predominant adaptive traits observed in modern whales were favored by natural selection in the past, while unsuccessful phenotypes progressively disappeared.
Answer:
Mole fraction of solute is 0.0462
Explanation:
To solve this we use the colligative property of lowering vapor pressure.
First of all, we search for vapor pressure of pure water at 25°C = 23.8 Torr
Now, we convert the Torr to mmHg. Ratio is 1:1, so 23.8 Torr is 23.8 mmHg.
Formula for lowering vapor pressure is:
ΔP = P° . Xm
Where ΔP = P' (Vapor pressure of solution) - P° (Vapor pressure of pure solvent)
Xm = mole fraction
24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg = 23mmHg . Xm
Xm = (24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg) / 23mmHg
Xm = 0.0462
