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.

Calculate the molarity of a solution obtained dissolving 10.0 g of cobalt(Ⅱ) bromide tetrahydrate in enough water to make 450 mL
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

<em><u>The molarity of the CoBr2•4H2O solution is  7.64 × 10-2 M</u></em>

Explanation:

Cobalt (II) bromide tetrahydrate

• Cobalt - A transition metal with Roman numeral (II) → charge: +2 → Co2+

• Bromide - anion from group 7A → -1 charge → symbol: Br-

• Tetrahydrate- tetra- means 4 and hydrate is H2O

The chemical formula of the compound is: CoBr2•4H2O

We then need to determine the number of moles of CoBr2•4H2O since this is the only information missing for us to find molarity. Notice that the volume of the solution is already given.

We’re given the mass of CoBr2•4H2O. We can use the molar mass of CoBr2•4H2O4 to find the moles.

•The molar mass of CoBr2•4H2O is:

CoBr2•4H2O  

1 Co x 58.93 g/mol Co = 58.93 g/mol

2 Br x 79.90 g/mol Br = 159.80 g/mol

8 H  x 1.008 g/mol H = 8.064 g/mol

4 O  x 16.00 g/mol O = 64.00 g/mol

________________________________________

                           Sum = <u>290.79 g/ mo</u>

The moles of CoBr2•4H2O is:

= 10.0 g CoBr2•4H2O x  \frac{ 1 mol  CoBr_2 . 4H_2O}{290.79 g CoBr_2 .  4H_2O}

= <u>0.0344  mol CoBr2•4H</u>

We know that the volume of the solution is 450 mL.

We can now calculate for molarity:

Convert mL to L → 1 mL = 10-3 L

Formula:

Molarity (M)= Mole of solute / Liters of solution

= 0.0344  mol CoBr2•4H  / 450 mL x 1 ml / 10^ -3 L

= 0.0764

=  7.64 × 10-2 mol/L

This is the balanced reaction equation for the combustion of methane.

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass basically states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. As such, we must be able to show this in our chemical reaction equations.

If you look at the equation above, you'll see an arrow that separates the reaction equation into two parts. This represents the direction of the reaction.

To the left of the arrow, we have our reactants.

To the right of the arrow, we have our products.

The quantity of each individual element in the left must equal the quantity of each individual element in the right.

So if you look below, you'll see the unbalanced equation, and I'll try to explain how to balance the reaction.

C

H

4

+  

O

2

C

O

+  

H

O

Our reactants in this equation are  

C

H

4

and  

O

2

.

Our next step is to break these down into individual atoms.

We have:

1 C atom, 4 H atoms & 2 O atoms.

If you're confused by this, look to see the little number to the bottom right of each element, the subscript, and it tells you how many of each atom are in the molecule. Make sense?

Now we look to the other side of the equation.

Here we see our products are  

C

O

2

+  

H

2

O

Again, we break these down into individual atoms again.

We have:

1 C atom, 2 H atom, 3 O atom
