The ksp of beryllium hydroxide, be(oh)2, is 6.92 × 10-22. calculate the molar solubility of this compound.

1 answer:

5 0

When Be(OH)₂ dissolves it dissociates into the following ions
Be(OH)₂ --> Be²⁺ + 2OH⁻
molar solubility is the number of moles that dissolve in 1 L of solution
If the molar solubility of Be(OH)₂ is 'x', molar solubility of Be²⁺ and OH⁻ ions are x and 2x respectively.
ksp is solubility constant for Be(OH)₂
ksp = [Be²⁺][OH⁻]²
6.92 * 10⁻²² = [x][2x]²
4x³ = 6.92 * 10⁻²²
x³ = 1.73 * 10⁻²²
x = 5.57 * 10⁻⁸ mol/L
molar solubility of Be(OH)₂ is 5.57 * 10⁻⁸ mol/L

Neko [114]

Answer: The layers of the rocks in one region of the parks are smooth and distinct, which are evidence of many, many years of deposition. The layers on the rocks are because of different deposition of sediments. Different sediments deposited over the rocks through wind, water and ice over the ages

The diameter of the He He atom is approximately 0.10 nm nm . Calculate the density of the He atom in g/cm 3 g/cm3 (assuming that

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Density of the He atom = 12.69 g/cm³

Explanation:

From the information given:

Since 1 mole of an atom = 6.022x 10²³ atoms)

1 atom of He = $1 \ atom \times (\dfrac{1 \ mole}{ 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms}) \times ( \dfrac{4.003 \ grams}{ 1 \ mole})$
