Ionic solids dissolve in water and break up into their ions. However, some ionic solids only partially dissolve, leaving a signi

ficant amount of solid undissolved. In some cases, the amount that dissolves is very small and is almost zero.
A mathematical formula that indicates the extent to which an ionic solid dissolves in water is called the solubility product constant. The solubility product constant, commonly referred to as Ksp, indicates the extent to which an ionic solid dissolves.
Which of the following is the correct solubility product constant for the reaction shown below?
CaF₂ ⇌ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2F⁻
A. Ksp = [Ca²⁺][F⁻]
B. Ksp = [Ca²⁺]2[F⁻]
C. Ksp = [Ca²⁺]2[F⁻]²
D. Ksp = [Ca²⁺][F⁻]²

<u>Answer:</u> The expression of K_{sp} for calcium fluoride is K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][2F^-]^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Solubility product is defined as the product of concentration of ions present in a solution each raised to the power its stoichiometric ratio.

The given chemical equation follows:

CaF_2\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}(aq.)+2F^-(aq.)

1 mole of calcium fluoride produces 1 mole of calcium ions and 2 moles of fluorine ions.

The expression of K_{sp} for above equation follows:

K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][2F^-]^2

Hence, the expression of K_{sp} for calcium fluoride is K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][2F^-]^2

Viefleur [7K]
In order for the molecule to change phase from liquid to gas and evaporates, it needs to overcome the force from other molecules around it. as the force bigger evaporation gets harder. so e has the highest force and higher boiling point.

How many electrons would be found in the Ion who’s symbol is I-
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

54

Explanation:

Given symbol of the element:

                   I⁻

Number of electrons found in an ion with the symbol:

  This is a iodine ion:

         For an atom of iodine:

                   Electrons  = 53

                   Protons  = 53

                   Neutrons  = 74

An ion of iodine is one that has lost or gained electrons.

For this one, we have a negatively charged ion which implies that the number of electrons is 1 more than that of the protons.

  So, number of electrons  = 53 + 1  = 54

The number of electrons in this ion is 54

Describe the reason why a reaction between two substances comes to an end.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: The process by which a particular substance or different substances are transformed to another is called as Chemical Reaction.One reason, in the case of reversible reactions could be that the reaction reached equilibrium before the reaction was complete.Chemical reactions occur when chemical bonds between atoms are formed or broken. The substances that go into a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the substances produced at the end of the reaction are known as the products.The concentration of reactants decreases as the reaction proceeds and at last their concentration comes to an end. Hence, the reaction stops too. If two reactants are being reacted, then the reactant which is in limited amount will consume first and will result in the termination of reaction.The usual reason is that one (or more) of the reactants gets used up.

Hope that was helpful.Thank you!!!
