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.

If 63.8 grams of aluminum metal (Al) react with 72.3 grams of sulfur (S) in a synthesis reaction, how many grams of the excess r
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

23.2 g of Al will be left over when the reaction is complete

Explanation:

2Al  +  3S  → Al₂S₃

1 mol of Al = 26.98 g

1 mol of S = 32.06 g

Mole = Mass / Molar mass

63.8 g/ 26.98 g/m = 2.36 mole of Al

72.3 g / 32.06 g/m = 2.25 mole of S

2 mole of Aluminun react with 3 mole of sulfur

2.36 mole of Al react with (2.36 .3)/2 = 3.54 m of S

As I have 2.25 mole of S, and I need 3.54 S, is my limiting reagent so the limiting in excess is the Al.

3 mole of S react with 2 mole of Al

2.25 mole of S react with (2.25 m . 2)/3 = 1.50 mole

I need 1.50 mole of Al and I have 2.36, that's why the Al is in excess.

2.36 mole of Al - 1.50 mole of Al = 0.86 mole

This is the quantity of Al without reaction.

Molar mass . mole = Mass →  26.98 g/m . 0.86 m = 23.2 g

Classify each of the statements below as pertaining to viscosity or osmolarity.
Yuliya22 [10]
Viscosity is related to the parallel shear force acted by the fluid. In lay man's term, viscosity is the ease of how the fluid flows. The faster the flow is, the lower the viscosity (and vice versa). On the other hand, osmolarity pertains to the concentration of a component in a mixture expressed in number of solute particles per liter of the mixture.

The element oxygen has _____ valence electrons. (Input only a whole number, such as 7.) Numerical Answers Expected! Answer for B
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

7 valence electrons.

Explanation:

Oxygen lies in period 2 and group 16 of the periodic table. It is eighth element on the periodic table. Its symbol is O.

Its electronic configuration is given by:

16 = 2,8,6

It has 6 valance electrons. Its valancy is -2. It means can share share and it can gain 2 electron to get stability.

Hence, The element oxygen has <u>7</u> valence electrons.
