How many daltons is in an ion with 15 protons, 16 neutrons and 17 electrons?

1 answer:

8 0

31
A dalton is the same as an atomic mass unit. And an atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of a nucleon (proton or neutron) such that the mass is 1 g/mol. So in this problem you have 15 protons and 16 neutrons, so the number of daltons is 15 + 16 = 31.

On the basis of the Ksp values below, what is the order of the solubility from least soluble to most soluble for these compounds

Viktor [21]

Answer:

The order of solubility is AgBr < Ag₂CO₃ < AgCl

Explanation:

The solubility constant give us the molar solubilty of ionic compounds. In general for a compound AB the ksp will be given by:

Ksp = (A) (B) where A and B are the molar solubilities = s² (for compounds with 1:1 ratio).

It follows then that the higher the value of Ksp the greater solubilty of the compound if we are comparing compounds with the same ionic ratios:

Comparing AgBr: Ksp = 5.4 x 10⁻¹³ with AgCl: Ksp = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰, AgCl will be more soluble.

Comparing Ag2CO3: Ksp = 8.0 x 10⁻¹² with AgCl Ksp = AgCl: Ksp = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰ we have the complication of the ratio of ions 2:1 in Ag2CO3, so the answer is not obvious. But since we know that

Ag2CO3 ⇄ 2 Ag⁺ + CO₃²₋

Ksp Ag2CO3 = 2s x s = 2 s² = 8.0 x 10-12

s = 4 x 10⁻12 ∴ s= 2 x 10⁻⁶

And for AgCl

AgCl ⇄ Ag⁺ + Cl⁻

Ksp = s² = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰ ∴ s = √ 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰ = 1.3 x 10⁻⁵

Therefore, AgCl is more soluble than Ag₂CO₃

The order of solubility is AgBr < Ag₂CO₃ < AgCl

Leave the answer blank if no precipitate will form. (Express your answer as a chemical formula.) Formula of precipitate ZnCl2(aq

Rasek [7]

Answer:

1. Zn(OH)₂ (s)

2. Ag₂CO₃ (s)

3. Ni₃(PO₄)₂(s)

4. No reaction

5. (NH₄)₂CO₃(s)

Explanation:

Let's state the equations and we analyse some solubility and precipitation information:

ZnCl₂(aq) + 2KOH(aq) → Zn(OH)₂ (s) + 2KCl (aq)

All the salts from the halogens with group 1, are soluble.

The OH⁻ reacts to Zn cation in order to produce a precipitate. This is ok, but if the base is in excess, the Zn(OH)₂ will be soluble

K₂CO₃(aq) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → Ag₂CO₃ (s) ↓ + 2KNO₃(aq)

All salts from nitrate are soluble

All salts from carbonates are insoluble

2(NH₄)₃PO₄(aq) + 3Ni(NO₃)₂(aq) → Ni₃(PO₄)₂(s) ↓ + 6NH₄NO₃(aq)

Salts from phosphates are insoluble

All salts from nitrate are soluble

NaCl(aq) + KNO3(aq) → NO REACTION

All salts from nitrate are soluble

All the salts from the halogens with group 1, are soluble

Na₂CO₃(aq) + 2NH₄Cl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + (NH₄)₂CO₃(s) ↓

All salts from carbonates are insoluble

All the salts from the halogens with group 1, are soluble
