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

  • T_1=27°C
  • T_2=40°C
  • V_1=1L
  • V_2=?

Using Charles law

\boxed{\sf \dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}}

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_1T_2=V_2T_1

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1(40)=27V_2

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_2=\dfrac{40}{27}

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_2=1.48\ell

Answer the following questions about the solubility of AgCl(s). The value of Ksp for AgCl(s) is 1.8 × 10−10.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

  • [Ag⁺] = 1.3 × 10⁻⁵M
  • s = 3.3 × 10⁻¹⁰ M
  • Because the common ion effect.

Explanation:

<u></u>

<u>1. Value of [Ag⁺]  in a saturated solution of AgCl in distilled water.</u>

The value of [Ag⁺]  in a saturated solution of AgCl in distilled water is calculated by the dissolution reaction:

  • AgCl(s)    ⇄    Ag⁺ (aq)    +    Cl⁻ (aq)

The ICE (initial, change, equilibrium) table is:

  • AgCl(s)    ⇄    Ag⁺ (aq)    +    Cl⁻ (aq)

I            X                      0                    0

C          -s                      +s                  +s

E         X - s                   s                     s

Since s is very small, X - s is practically equal to X and is a constant, due to which the concentration of the solids do not appear in the Ksp equation.

Thus, the Ksp equation is:

  • Ksp = [Ag⁺] [Cl⁻]
  • Ksp = s × s
  • Ksp = s²

By substitution:

  • 1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ = s²
  • s = 1.34 × 10⁻⁵M

Rounding to two significant figures:

  • [Ag⁺] = 1.3 × 10⁻⁵M ← answer

<u></u>

<u>2. Molar solubility of AgCl(s) in seawater</u>

Since, the conentration of Cl⁻ in seawater is 0.54 M you must introduce this as the initial concentration in the ECE table.

The new ICE table will be:

  • AgCl(s)    ⇄    Ag⁺ (aq)    +    Cl⁻ (aq)

I            X                      0                  0.54

C          -s                      +s                  +s

E         X - s                   s                     s + 0.54

The new equation for the Ksp equation will be:

  • Ksp = [Ag⁺] [Cl⁻]
  • Ksp = s × ( s + 0.54)
  • Ksp = s² + 0.54s

By substitution:

  • 1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ = s² + 0.54s
  • s² + 0.54s - 1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 0

Now you must solve a quadratic equation.

Use the quadratic formula:

     

     s=\dfrac{-0.54\pm\sqrt{0.54^2-4(1)(-1.8\times 10^{-10})}}{2(1)}

The positive and valid solution is s = 3.3×10⁻¹⁰ M ← answer

<u>3. Why is AgCl(s) less soluble in seawater than in distilled water.</u>

AgCl(s) is less soluble in seawater than in distilled water because there are some Cl⁻ ions is seawater which shift the equilibrium to the left.

This is known as the common ion effect.

By LeChatelier's principle, you know that an increase in the concentrations of one of the substances that participate in the equilibrium displaces the reaction to the direction that minimizes this efect.

In the case of solubility reactions, this is known as the common ion effect: when the solution contains one of the ions that is formed by the solid reactant, the reaction will proceed in less proportion, i.e. less reactant can be dissolved.

What is the atomic nucleus made of ?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Answer: nucleons

Explanation:

The nucleons are the particles that constitue the nuclei of the atoms. Those are protons and neutrons.

They are not elementary particles (quarks are the elementary particles that form both protons and neutrons).

Protons are the particles that define the elements. Any different elements have different number of protons. H has one proton, He has 2 protons, Li has three protons, Na has 11 protons, U has 92 protons.

Protons are positively charged and the number of protons in any neutral atom is equal to the number of electrons (the electrons, which are elementary negatively charged particles, are around the nucleous).

Neutrons have not charge and are responsible for the stability of the nuclei. They are fundamental to avoid that the repulsion forces between the positively charged protons ends causing the collapse of the nuclei.
