Answer:

Explanation:

Element A has 3 electrons in outermost shell so its valency is 3. It will loose 3 electrons to attain stability, as loss of 3 electrons is easier than gain of 5 electrons.

Valency of B is −2 as it will gain 2 electrons to attain stability and combine with other atom.

Valency of A⟶+3

Valency of B⟶−2

(Refer to Image)

Cross multiply valency of A and B

∴A2B3 compound will be formed.

Calcium hydroxide is a strong base but is not very soluble ( Ksp = 5.02 X 10-6 ). What is the pH of a saturated solution of Ca(O

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer : The pH of a saturated solution is, 12.33

Explanation : Given,

$K_{sp}$ = $5.02\times 10^{-6}$

First we have to calculate the solubility of $OH^-$ ion.

The balanced equilibrium reaction will be:

$Ca(OH)_2\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+2OH^-$

Let the solubility will be, 's'.

The concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ ion = s

The concentration of $OH^-$ ion = 2s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][OH^-]^2$

Let the solubility will be, 's'

$K_{sp}=(s)\times (2s)^2$

$K_{sp}=(4s)^3$

Now put the value of $K_[sp}$ in this expression, we get the solubility.

$5.02\times 10^{-6}=(4s)^3$

$s=1.079\times 10^{-2}M$

The concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ ion = s = $1.079\times 10^{-2}M$

The concentration of $OH^-$ ion = 2s = $2\times (1.079\times 10^{-2}M)=2.158\times 10^{-2}M$

First we have to calculate the pOH.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$pOH=-\log (2.158\times 10^{-2})$

$pOH=1.67$

Now we have to calculate the pH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-1.67=12.33$

Therefore, the pH of a saturated solution is, 12.33

avanturin [10]

Answer:

a) heat it from 23.0 to 78.3

q = (50.0 g) (55.3 °C) (2.46 J/g·°C) =

b) boil it at 78.3

(39.3 kJ/mol) (50.0 g / 46.0684 g/mol) =

c) sum up the answers from the two calculations above. Be sure to change the J from the first calc into kJ

Can somebody plz answer this question only in 1-2 sentences! That would be great thanks so much :)

Pure substances are substances which are homogenous in nature. They either consists of atoms of 1 kind or molecules of 1 kind. Atoms are seen in elements, where as molecules are seen in compounds like Acids, Bases, etc.

They mostly have fixed properties like boiling and melting points and are uniform in nature. :D
