Answer:
B. a state in which the forward and reverse reactions are proceeding at equal rates
Explanation:
"Chemical equilibrium is the state of a chemical system at which a constant concentration of products and reagents is present. Reactions, which take place in homogeneous solutions, seem to have come to rest because no changes in concentrations of the participating substances can be determined. Substance turnover occurs only on the particle level, which is why chemical equilibrium is also referred to as dynamic equilibrium."
Answer:
a) FePO4(s)⇄Fe^3+(aq) + PO4^3-(aq)
b) ZnCO3(s)⇄Zn^2+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq)
c) NH4Cl(s)⇄ NH4^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq)
Explanation:
An ionic solid simply means a solid substance that is held together by ionic bonds. When an ionic substance is added to water, the ions interact with the dipoles in water and is pulled apart to form the constituent cation and anion present in the ionic solid. This is the process that we have referred to as dissolution.
The Ksp of an ionic solid is obtained from the chemical equation that shows the dissolution of an ionic solid in water. The Ksp is actually an equilibrium constant that shows the extent of dissolution of an ionic solid in water.
a) FePO4(s)⇄Fe^3+(aq) + PO4^3-(aq)
b) ZnCO3(s)⇄Zn^2+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq)
c) NH4Cl(s)⇄ NH4^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq)
