PbSO4 has a Ksp = 1.3 * 10-8 (mol/L)2.
Oduvanchick [21]

i. The dissolution of PbSO₄ in water entails its ionizing into its constituent ions:

\mathrm{PbSO_{4}}(aq) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Pb^{2+}}(aq)+\mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}(aq).

---

ii. Given the dissolution of some substance

xA{(s)} \rightleftharpoons yB{(aq)} + zC{(aq)},

the Ksp, or the solubility product constant, of the preceding equation takes the general form

K_{sp} = [B]^y [C]^z.

The concentrations of pure solids (like substance A) and liquids are excluded from the equilibrium expression.

So, given our dissociation equation in question i., our Ksp expression would be written as:

K_{sp} = \mathrm{[Pb^{2+}] [SO_4^{2-}]}.

---

iii. Presumably, what we're being asked for here is the <em>molar </em>solubility of PbSO4 (at the standard 25 °C, as Ksp is temperature dependent). We have all the information needed to calculate the molar solubility. Since the Ksp tells us the ratio of equilibrium concentrations of PbSO4 in solution, we can consider either [Pb2+] or [SO4^2-] as equivalent to our molar solubility (since the concentration of either ion is the extent to which solid PbSO4 will dissociate or dissolve in water).

We know that Ksp = [Pb2+][SO4^2-], and we are given the value of the Ksp of for PbSO4 as 1.3 × 10⁻⁸. Since the molar ratio between the two ions are the same, we can use an equivalent variable to represent both:

1.3 \times 10^{-8} = s \times s = s^2 \\s = \sqrt{1.3 \times 10^{-8}} = 1.14 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol/L}.

So, the molar solubility of PbSO4 is 1.1 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L. The answer is given to two significant figures since the Ksp is given to two significant figures.

Which states of matter have particles that move independently of one another with very little attraction?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Gas

Explanation:

The gaseous state has very loose and unorganized structuring of particles, making them have little attraction and move independently.

A lab technician needs a 40% solution of a certain chemical for an experiment, but the lab that she works in only has a 20% solu
Snezhnost [94]

To determine the volume of both concentration of the solution to make another concentration of solution, we need to set up two equations since we have two unknowns. <span>

For the first equation, we do a mass balance:

mass of 50% solution + mass of 20% solution = mass of 40% solution
M1 + M2 = M3

For the second equation, we do a component balance,</span>

<span>
M1(50%) + M2(20%) = M3(40%)
.50M1 + .20M2 = .40M3

To determine the ratio, we assume we have to make a 100 g of the 40% solution. So, the equation would change to</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>M1 + M2 = 100</span>

.50M1 + .20M2 = (100)(.40) = 40


Solving for M1 and M2,

M1 = 66.67 g

M2 = 33.33 g


So, the ratio of the 20% and the 50% would be approximately 33.33/66.67 = 0.5.

student has calibrated his/her calorimeter and finds the heat capacity to be 14.2 J/°C. S/he then determines the molar heat capa
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

24.03 J/mol.ºC

Explanation:

For a calorimeter, the heat lost must be equal to the heat gained from water plus the heat gained from calorimeter, which has the same initial temperature as the water.

-Qal = Qw + Qc (minus signal represents that the heat is lost)

-mal*Cal*ΔTal = mw*Cw*ΔTw + Cc*ΔTc

Where m is the mass, C is the specific heat, ΔT is the temperature variation, al is from aluminum. w from water and c from the calorimeter. Cw = 4.186 J/gºC

-25.5*Cal*(22.7 - 100) = 99.0*4.186*(22.7 - 18.6) + 14.2*(22.7 - 18.6)

1971.15Cal = 1699.10 + 58.22

1971.15Cal = 1757.32

Cal = 0.89 J/g.ºC

The molar mass of Al is 27 g/mol

Cal = 0.89 J/g.ºC * 27 g/mol

Cal = 24.03 J/mol.ºC
