Correct answer: has a completely filled outermost shell

Atoms of the element with complete outermost shells are stable. So, in order to attain stability the atom either loses electrons or gains electrons to completely fill the outermost shell. The stable electronic configuration for the s and p-block elements is exhibited by the noble gases or the group 8 elements. All the unstable atoms try to attain the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas with completely filled outermost shell.

If a chlor-alkali cell used a current of 3X10⁴A, how many pounds of Cl₂ would be produced in a typical 8-h operating day?
vova2212 [387]

7 × 10² pounds of Cl₂ would be produced in a typical 8-h operating day.

<h3>What is Stoichiometry ?</h3>

Stoichiometry helps us use the balanced chemical equation to measures quantitative relationships and it is to calculate the amount of products and reactants that are given in a reaction.

<h3>What is Balanced chemical equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactants side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

2Cl⁻ (aq) → Cl (g) + 2e⁻

According to stoichiometry, moles of Cl₂

= (3 \times 10^4\ A) \left (\frac{\frac{C}{s}}{A} \right ) \left (\frac{3600\ s}{h} \right ) (8h) \left (\frac{1\ \text{mol}\ e^{-}}{9.65 \times 10^4\ C} \right ) \left (\frac{1\ \text{mol}\ Cl_2}{2\ \text{mol}\ e^-} \right )

= 4477 moles

Pounds Cl₂

= (4477\ \text{moles}\ Cl_2) \left (\frac{70.90\ g\ Cl_2}{\text{mol}} \right ) \left (\frac{1\ kg}{1000\ g} \right ) \left (\frac{2.205\ lb}{1\ kg} \right )

= 7 × 10² lb

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that 7 × 10² pounds of Cl₂ would be produced in a typical 8-h operating day.

The solubility of KCl is 3.7 M at 20 °C. Two beakers each contain 100. mL of saturated KCl solution: 100. mL of 4.0 M HCl is add
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

a)The Ksp was found to be equal to 13.69

Explanation:

Terminology

Qsp of a dissolving ionic solid — is the solubility product of the concentration of ions in solution.

Ksp however, is the solubility product of the concentration of ions in solution at EQUILIBRIUM with the dissolving ionic solid.

Note that if Qsp > Ksp , the solid at a certain temperature, will precipitate and form solid. That means the equilibrium will shift to the left in order to attain or reach equilibrium (Ksp).

Step-by-step solution:

To solve this: 

#./ Substitute the molar solubility of KCl as given into the ion-product equation to find the Ksp of KCl.

#./ Find the total concentration of ionic chloride in each beaker after the addition of HCl. We pay attention to the amount moles present at the beginning and the moles added.

#./ Find the Qsp value to to know if Ksp is exceeded. If Qsp < Ksp, nothing will precipitate.

a) The equation of solubility equilibrium for KCL is thus;

KCL_(s) ---> K+(aq) + Cl- (aq)

The solubility of KCl given is 3.7 M.

Ksp= [K+][Cl-] = (3.7)(3.7) =13.69

The Ksp was found to be equal to 14.

In pure water KCl

Ksp =13.69 KCl =[K+][Cl-]

Let x= molar solubility [K+],/[Cl-] :. × , x

Ksp =13.69 = [K+][Cl-] = (x)(x) = x²

x= √ 13.69 = 3.7 M moles of KCl requires to make 100mL saturated solutio

37M moles/L

The Ksp was found to be equal to 14.

4.0 M HCl = KCl =[K+][Cl-]

Let y= molar solubility :. y, y+4

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (y)(y*+4)

* - rule of thumb

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (y)(y*+4)= y(4)

13.69=4y:. y= 3.42 moles/100mL

y= 34.2moles/L

8 M HCl = KCl =[K+][Cl-]

Let b= molar solubility :. B, b+8

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (b)(b*+8)

* - rule of thumb

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (b)(b*+8)= b(8)

13.69=8b:. b= 1.71 moles/100mL

17.1 moles/L

Therefore in a solution with a common ion, the solubility of the compound reduces dramatically.
