Which best demonstrates an example of the common ion effect?
1 answer:
Answer: A. The compound CuCl is 500 times less soluble in sea water than it is in pure water.
pure water.
Explanation:
Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.
This principle states that if there is any change in a equilibrium reaction, the equilibrium will shift in a direction so as to minimize the effect.
Thus when a common ion is introduced to an equilibrium reaction, the equilibrium will shift in a direction where the concentration of common ion is decreasing.
When common ion such as from NaCl in sea water is introduced to an equilibrium reaction, the equilibrium will shift in a direction where the concentration of common ion is decreasing i.e. in the left side and thus solubility of CuCl further decreases.

Answer:
a) No molecules of hydrogen
b) four molecules of ammonia
c) four left molecules of nitrogen.
Explanation:
The balanced reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen molecules to give ammonia molecules is:
Thus one molecule of nitrogen will react with three molecules of hydrogen to give two molecules of ammonia.
We have six molecules of each nitrogen and hydrogen in the closed container and they undergo complete reaction it means the limiting reagent is hydrogen. For six molecules of nitrogen, eighteen molecules of hydrogen will be required.
So six molecules of hydrogen will react with two molecules of nitrogen to give four molecules of ammonia.
The product mixture will have
a) No molecules of hydrogen
b) four molecules of ammonia
c) four left molecules of nitrogen.
