Because you can actually put something inside the liquid to measure the temperature,but with the solid you can't

It is more difficult to measure the temp of a solid than a liquid because it takes longer to go through a solid than a liquid..

Predict the shape of the molecule.

GuDViN [60]

Number of electron pairs = \frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

[V+N−C+A]

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

SbCl_5SbCl

In the given molecule, antimony is the central atom and there are five chlorine as monovalent atoms.

The number of electron pairs are 5 that means the hybridization will be sp^3dsp

B and geometry of the molecule will be trigonal bipyramidal.

The solubility of magnesium phosphate at a given temperature is 0.173 g/L. Calculate the Ksp at this temperature. After you calc

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: $K_{sp}=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=13.90$

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as $K_{sp}$

The equation for the ionization of magnesium phosphate is given as:

$Mg_3(PO_4)_2\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+}+2PO_4^{3-}$

When the solubility of $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$ is S moles/liter, then the solubility of $Mg^{2+}$ will be 3S moles\liter and solubility of $PO_4^{3-}$ will be 2S moles/liter.
