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 happens to the radius of the atoms of an element as you go towards the right in a row of the periodic table ?
Olegator [25]

Answer:

It decreases

Explanation:

As one moves from left to right on the periodic table, the radius of atoms reduces due to the nuclear pull.

  • The size of an atom estimated by the atomic radius is taken as half of the internuclear distance between the two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements.
  • Across a period, atomic radius decreases progressively from left to right.
  • This is due to the increasing nuclear charge without attendant increase in the number of electronic shell.

adoni [48]

Answer: BF3

Explanation: boron needs 4 electron to obtain octet and Fluorine has just one. For the valence shell to be completely filled it will have to form BF4- with 4 fluorine atom surrounding it.
