The reaction of solid calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is a heterogeneous reaction (a solid with a liquid). The rate law

for this reaction will have the following form: rate= k[HCL]n. Explain why the concentration of calcium carbonate does not appear in the rate law.

The concentration of calcium carbonate does not appear in the rate law because it is a solid and its concentration is constant. The molar density, which is fixed, is the concentration of the solid. In this chemical reaction, only the amount of hydrochloric acid affects the rate of reaction.

Answer:

Rate of reaction does not depend on concentration of reactants that are constant.

Explanation:

The rate law or rate equation for a chemical reaction is an equation that links the reaction rate with the concentrations or pressures of the reactants and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial reaction orders).

Sincethe rate law pretty much shows the variation between the rate of reaction at different concentrations, it follows that a fixed concentration would have a fixed rate and as such rate of reaction is independendent on such reactant.

This is alswo what is happening here, in the reaction between solid calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid, the reaction is independent on the concentration hence it is not represented in the rate law. The reason for this is because the concentrationof the solid calcium carbonate is constant and does not change. Same thing also happens in reactions involving large amount of water.

In short, rate of reaction does not depend on concentration of reactants that are constant.

The solubility product of PbI2 is 7.9x10^-9. What is the molar solubility of PbI2 in distilled water?
Agata [3.3K]

<u>Answer:</u> The molar solubility of PbI_2 is 1.25\times 10^{-3}mol/L

<u>Explanation:</u>

Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium.

Solubility product is defined as the product of concentration of ions present in a solution each raised to the power its stoichiometric ratio.

The balanced equilibrium reaction for the ionization of calcium fluoride follows:

PbI_2\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}+2I^-

                s       2s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be:

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

We are given:

K_{sp}=7.9\times 10^{-9}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

7.9\times 10^{-9}=(s)\times (2s)^2\\\\7.9\times 10^{-9}=4s^3\\\\s=1.25\times 10^{-3}mol/L

Hence, the molar solubility of PbI_2 is 1.25\times 10^{-3}mol/L

A spoon of salt is added to water. Which of these will increase how fast the salt dissolves? Check all of
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

A is wrong because heat is what makes the process faster.

B is right because the finer grains are able to dissolve at a higher rate since the amount of one grain reduces it's time to dissolve.

C is wrong because simply adding more water will not increase or decrease the dissolving rate.
