Answer:

D) NaO2CC6H4CO2K

Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent and tends to solvate polar molecules. This allows solute molecules to interact with the solvent and that is why the solubility of a molecule in water increases with the increase in its polarity. So, the salt of phthalic acid is more soluble in water than phthalic acid itself. Although the monosodium and monopotassium salts are also more soluble than phthalic acid, the dialkali phthalate salt (NaO2CC6H4CO2K) is the most soluble due to the highest polarity.

Given the equation representing a solution equilibrium: BaSO4(s) <—> Ba2+ (aq) + SO4 2- (aq)
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The equilibrium shifts to the left, and the concentration of Ba2+(aq) decreases

Explanation:

Whenever a solution of an ionic substance comes into contact with another ionic compound with which it shares a common ion, the solubility of the ionic substance in solution decreases significantly.

In this case, both BaSO4 and Na2SO4 both possess the SO4^2- anion. Hence SO4^2- anion is the common ion. Given the equilibrium;

BaSO4(s) <—> Ba2+ (aq) + SO4 2- (aq), addition of Na2SO4 will decrease the solubility of BaSO4 due to the presence of a common SO4^2- anion compared to pure water.

This implies that the equilibrium will shift to the left, (more undissoctiated BaSO4) hence decreasing the Ba^2+(aq) concentration.

How can scientists detect blood doping?
aev [14]

Answer:

There are typically three ways that it is accomplished: use of erythropoietin (EPO) or synthetic oxygen carriers and blood transfusions. While transfusions of large volumes of blood or use of EPO can be detected, microdosing EPO or transfusing smaller volumes of packed red blood cells is much harder to detect.
