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

An oxide of aluminum contains 0.545 g of Al and 0.485 g of O. Find the empirical formula

uysha [10]

Answer:

The answer is: <u>Al2O3</u>

Explanation:

The data they give us is:

0.545 gr Al

0.485 gr O.

To find the empirical formula without knowing the grams of the compound, we find it per mole:

0.545 g Al * 1 mol Al / 27 g Al = 0.02 mol Al

0.485 g O * 1 mol O / 16 g O = 0.03 mol O

Then we must divide the results obtained by the lowest result, which in this case is 0.02:

0.02 mol Al / 0.02 = 1 Al

0.03 mol O / 0.02 = 1.5 O

Since both numbers have to give an integer, multiply by 2 until both remain integers:

1Al * 2 = 2Al

1.5O * 2 = 3O

Now the answer is given correctly:

Al2O3

Calculate the mass in 4.05*10^22 molecules of calcium phosphate

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

m = 20.9 g.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to solve this problem by recalling both the Avogadro's number for the calculation of the moles in the given molecules of calcium phosphate and the molar mass of this compound in order to secondly calculate the mass as shown on the following setup:

$m=4.05x10^{22}molecules*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}}*\frac{310.18g}{1mol}\\\\m=20.9g$
