There are some data that suggest that zinc lozenges can significantly shorten the duration of a cold. If the solubility of zinc

acetate, Zn(CH3COO)2, is 43.0 g/L, what is the solubility product Ksp of this compound?

Answer:

K_{sp} of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} is 0.0513

Explanation:

Solubility equilibrium of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2}:

Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2}\rightleftharpoons Zn^{2+}+2CH_{3}COO^{-}

Solubility product of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} (K_{sp}) is written as-            K_{sp}=[Zn^{2+}][CH_{3}COO^{-}]^{2}

Where [Zn^{2+}] and [CH_{3}COO^{-}] represents equilibrium concentration (in molarity) of Zn^{2+} and CH_{3}COO^{-} respectively.

Molar mass of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} = 183.48 g/mol

So, solubility of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} = \frac{43.0}{183.48}M = 0.234M

1 mol of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} gives 1 mol of Zn^{2+} and 2 moles of CH_{3}COO^{-} upon dissociation.

so,   [Zn^{2+}] = 0.234 M and [CH_{3}COO^{-}] = (2\times 0.234)M=0.468M

so, K_{sp}=(0.234)\times (0.468)^{2}=0.0513

What wave has the longer wavelength
natima [27]

The wavelength is the distance between one crest/trough to another crest/trough. On the image, it's basically the length between each peak of the wave. You can see that the distance between peaks in wave A are much shorter than the distance between the peaks in wave B.

Thus, wave B has the longer wavelength.

8. Skin cancer is a disease that occurs when skin cells grow in an uncontrolled way. It can be caused by UV
Levart [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

I think none of the above, because when caused by a UV light it damages the cells. And if enough builds up overtime it causes uncontrollable growth and leads to skin cancer.

Hope that helped? It might be another answer honestly.

on dr v’s bookshelf there are 23 science textbooks each with an average of 31 chapters of each chapter contains 5 pages how many
olga55 [171]

Answer:

There are 3600 pages to 2 significant figures

Explanation:

Working only with the information given, we have that there are 23 books each with about 31 chapters.

This means that if 1 book has 31 chapter, the 23 science books will have

31 X 23 chapters =713 chapters in total.

If each chapter contains 5 pages, for the 713 chapters we will have a total of 713 X 5 pages = 3565 pages.

Rounding off the answer to 2 significant figures , we are looking to have only two non-zero figures in our answer. To do this, we count two numbers from the left. This will be numbers 3 and 5.

Next,  we check the net number after 5 to see if it is greater than 5 if it is, we will have to add the number (1 ) to the 5. This shows that we are approximating upwards, to account for the fact that that number has passed the middle point.

After this, we change the remaining two numbers (6 and 5) to zeroes.

This will give us 3600 pages.
