Answer:

must be greater than the required ΔH

Explanation:

The activation energy is the minimum extra amount of energy required by reactant molecules to undergo a reaction.

For both exothermic and endothermic reactions we need activation energy.

Enthalpy is the energy difference between products and reactants.

For endothermic reactions, enthalpy is positive as the energy of products is more than the energy of reactants.

As activation energy will be greater than the energy of both the reactants and products, so it must be greater than the enthalpy of reaction.

Endothermic reactions are reactions that require heat in the course of the process. The heat of reaction in this case is positive which means the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants. In this case, the answer to this problem would have to be <span>1. must be greater than the required ΔH </span>

1. The solubility of lead(II) chloride at some high temperature is 3.1 x 10-2 M. Find the Ksp of PbCl2 at this temperature.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

1) The solubility product of the lead(II) chloride is $1.2\times 10^{-4}$ .

2) The solubility of the aluminium hydroxide is $1.6\times 10^{-10} M$ .

3)The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Solubility of lead chloride = $S=3.1\times 10^-2M$

$PbCl_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)$

S 2S

The solubility product of the lead(II) chloride = $K_{sp}$

$K_{sp}=[Pb^{2+}][Cl^-]^2$

$K_{sp}=S\times (2S)^2=4S^3=4\times (3.1\times 10^{-2})^3=1.2\times 10^{-4}$

The solubility product of the lead(II) chloride is $1.2\times 10^{-4}$ .

Concentration of aluminium nitrate = 0.000010 M

Concentration of aluminum ion = $1\timed 0.000010 M=0.000010 M$

Solubility of aluminium hydroxide in aluminum nitrate solution = $S$

$Al(OH)_3(aq)\rightleftharpoons Al^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)$

S 3S

The solubility product of the aluminium nitrate = $K_{sp}=1.0\times 10^{-33}$

$K_{sp}=[Al^{3+}][OH^-]^3$

$1.0\times 10^{-33}=(0.000010+S)\times (3S)^3$

$S=1.6\times 10^{-10} M$

The solubility of the aluminium hydroxide is $1.6\times 10^{-10} M$ .

$Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume (L)}$

Mass of NaCl= 3.5 mg = 0.0035 g

1 mg = 0.001 g

Moles of NaCl = $\frac{0.0035 g}{58.5 g/mol}=6.0\times 10^{-5} mol$

Volume of the solution = 0.250 L

$[NaCl]=\frac{6.0\times 10^{-5} mol}{0.250 L}=0.00024 M$

1 mole of NaCl gives 1 mole of sodium ion and 1 mole of chloride ions.

$[Cl^-]=[NaCl]=0.00024 M$

Moles of lead (II) nitrate = n

Volume of the solution = 0.250 L

Molarity lead(II) nitrate = 0.12 M

$n=0.12 M]\times 0.250 L=0.030 mol$

1 mole of lead nitrate gives 1 mole of lead (II) ion and 2 moles of nitrate ions.

$[Pb^{2+}]=[Pb(NO_2)_3]=0.030 M$

$PbCl_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)$

Solubility of lead(II) chloride = $K_{sp}=1.2\times 10^{-4}$

Ionic product of the lead chloride in solution :

$Q_i=[Pb^{2+}][Cl^-]^2=0.030 M\times (0.00024 M)^2=1.7\times 10^{-9}$

$Q_i$ ( no precipitation)

The given statement is false.
