Particles of Substance X are dispersed in water to form a colloid. Which describes the electrical charges on the particles of Su

bstance X?
All the particles carry the same charge, which could be either positive or negative.

Each particle carries a charge that is slightly different from the other particles.

Half of the particles carry a positive charge; the other half carry a negative charge.

All the particles are uncharged, or electrically neutral.

The correct answer is option A.

All the particles carry the same charge, which could be either positive or negative.

All the particles of substance X will have same charge on its surface, which is balanced by the oppositely charged ions in the water.

For example, soap solution (sodium palmitate) dissociates into ions:

C₁₅H₁₁COONa --> C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻ + Na⁺

The cations (Na⁺) passes into the water while the anions (C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻) form aggregates or colloids.

The solubility of KCl is 3.7 M at 20 °C. Two beakers each contain 100. mL of saturated KCl solution: 100. mL of 4.0 M HCl is add
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

a)The Ksp was found to be equal to 13.69

Explanation:

Terminology

Qsp of a dissolving ionic solid — is the solubility product of the concentration of ions in solution.

Ksp however, is the solubility product of the concentration of ions in solution at EQUILIBRIUM with the dissolving ionic solid.

Note that if Qsp > Ksp , the solid at a certain temperature, will precipitate and form solid. That means the equilibrium will shift to the left in order to attain or reach equilibrium (Ksp).

Step-by-step solution:

To solve this: 

#./ Substitute the molar solubility of KCl as given into the ion-product equation to find the Ksp of KCl.

#./ Find the total concentration of ionic chloride in each beaker after the addition of HCl. We pay attention to the amount moles present at the beginning and the moles added.

#./ Find the Qsp value to to know if Ksp is exceeded. If Qsp < Ksp, nothing will precipitate.

a) The equation of solubility equilibrium for KCL is thus;

KCL_(s) ---> K+(aq) + Cl- (aq)

The solubility of KCl given is 3.7 M.

Ksp= [K+][Cl-] = (3.7)(3.7) =13.69

The Ksp was found to be equal to 14.

In pure water KCl

Ksp =13.69 KCl =[K+][Cl-]

Let x= molar solubility [K+],/[Cl-] :. × , x

Ksp =13.69 = [K+][Cl-] = (x)(x) = x²

x= √ 13.69 = 3.7 M moles of KCl requires to make 100mL saturated solutio

37M moles/L

The Ksp was found to be equal to 14.

4.0 M HCl = KCl =[K+][Cl-]

Let y= molar solubility :. y, y+4

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (y)(y*+4)

* - rule of thumb

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (y)(y*+4)= y(4)

13.69=4y:. y= 3.42 moles/100mL

y= 34.2moles/L

8 M HCl = KCl =[K+][Cl-]

Let b= molar solubility :. B, b+8

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (b)(b*+8)

* - rule of thumb

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (b)(b*+8)= b(8)

13.69=8b:. b= 1.71 moles/100mL

17.1 moles/L

Therefore in a solution with a common ion, the solubility of the compound reduces dramatically.

A solid rubber ball with a mass of 5.9 grams sank in water. A hollow rubber ball with the same mass floats in water. Explain why
Stells [14]

Answer:

The hollow ball is more buoyant than the solid ball.

Explanation:

The hollow ball will float while the solid ball sinks because the volume of water displaced by the hollow ball is more than that displaced by the solid ball.

An object floats when it displaces a volume of water equal to its weight.  A solid ball is more compact, and hence, does not displace a lot of water when dropped into a bowl full of water. On the other hand, the hollow ball will have a larger curved surface area, since it has no fill. This will make it displace a larger volume of water and hence make it float.

Salt domes result when: 1. inland seas dry 2.the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise 3. a layer of sedimentary sa
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Salt domes result when <u><em>the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise. (Option 2)</em></u>

Explanation:

In geology it is called the gently wavy and rounded relief dome.

Salt has some special properties like rock:

  • Salt has a lower specific gravity in relation to a common mineral.
  • Salts deform plastically and are very mobile.
  • Salts have a high water solubility.

These properties allow, if the pressure is very high, that the salt layers move upwards (due to their lower density). That is, the internal forces produce the elevation of the strata by means of the pressure they exert towards a higher point, generating that the salt looks for its way towards the surface [that is, the salt ascends through the sedimentary layers of the earth's crust, crossing them and deforming them] and causing the bulging structure. The oldest strata are located in the central area of the dome, while the most modern are distributed in the farthest radius. The structure is called salt or diapiro dome, the phenomenon by which it is formed is called diapirism.

Finally, you can say that <u><em>Salt domes result when the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise.</em></u>
