Why was it necessary to make sure that some solid was present in the main solution before taking the samples to measure Ksp?

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Why was it necessary to make sure that some solid was present in the main solution before taking the samples to measure Ksp? Select the option that best explains why. Choose... A. To make sure no more sodium borate would dissolve in solution. B. To ensure the dissolution process was at equilibrium. C. To make sure the solution was saturated with sodium and borate ions. D. All of the above

Answer:

B. To ensure the dissolution process was at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The solubility product is a term used in chemistry to describe the equilibrium between the dissolved, dissociated and undissolved solute of a relatively low solubility ionic solid.

For an ionic solid MX, the solubility product is given as ;

MX(s) ----> M^n+(aq) + X^n-(aq)

If Ksp indeed scribes an equilibrium process for dissolution, it then implies that some undissolved solute must be present before samples are taken to measure the Ksp of a sample. This ensures equilibrium between dissolved and undissolved solute.

HELP ASAP!!
Harman [31]
I would think it is a heterogeneous mixture since it can't be an element since there are more than one type of atom, it can't be a compound since the leaves are not bonded together, and it can not be a homogeneous mixture since the leaves don't all blended together (the pile is not uniform) and you can distinguish all the different parts of the mixture.  It can be considered a heterogeneous mixture since the leaves are mixed together (along with other things like dirt) in a non-uniform way so that you can point out the parts of the mixture and it does not look like one thing.

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Arrange the following elements in order of decreasing metallic character.
Ivenika [448]

The arrangement of the elements in order of decreasing metallic character is: Rb, Zn, P, S, F, Ca, Co, Cr

<h3 /><h3>What are metals?</h3>

Metals are elements which are known by their special ability to form ions by a loss of electrons.

The increasing metallic character of metal is a measure of their ability to lose electrons.

Metallic character increases from right to left and down a group in the period table.

Metals are found to the left of the period table.

In conclusion, metals are known by their ability to lose electrons.
