Calculate the molar solubility of lead thiocyanate in 1.00 M KSCN.

You have to make an assumption or estimation here: (don't think about the 1.00 M KSCN)
Since 1.00M KSCN provides a common ion source of SCN-. Therefore, you will have a 1.00 M SCN-.
[Pb+2][SCN-] ~ 0.01 x 0.02^2 = 4E-6
 Pb(SCN)2 <---> Pb++ + 2SCN- 

Bringing 1.00M SCN- back in the problem. 1.00M + 0.02M, ignoring the SCN-, and calculating the [Pb+2]:

Ksp = [Pb++][SCN-]^2
2.00E-5 = [Pb++](1.00)^2

[Pb++] = 2.00E-5 M 

The mass balance shows that: 

[Pb++] = [Pb(SCN)2] 

So [Pb(SCN)2] = 2.00E-5 M in 1.00 M KSCN.

Answer:

They will create an ionic bond.

Explanation:

The atom with the one valence electron will lose its one, because it's a metal and metals will lose electrons to become stable. The nonmetal (with 7 valence electrons) will gain that electron, therefore creating a stable octet for the nonmetal, making the compound stable.

Tanzania [10]

Answer : The [H] is increasing at the rate of 0.36 mol/L.s

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

$\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

$Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

The given rate of reaction is,

$2D(g)+3E(g)+F(g)\rightarrow 2G(g)+H(g)$
