Alfred Wegener

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener in 1912, proposed the theory of continental drift from his careful studies of different land masses. From his observations, he suggested the following:

  • Some fossils of tropical plants were found in polar and temperate regions.
  • Fossils of mesosaurus were found in South America and South Africa now separated by the Atlantic ocean.
  • He fitted the continents into a giant land mass puzzles.
  • Coal beds in Europe were similar to those in United States.
  • Mountain chains in the edge of West Africa was similar to that of Eastern part of South America.

His theory lacked a mechanism which facilitated the plate movement.

What is the molar solubility in water of ag2cro4 ? (the ksp for ag2cro4 is 8 x 10-12. )
nikitadnepr [17]

The molar solubility in water of Ag₂CrO₄ is 2.52 * 10⁻⁴ M .

<h3>How do you define Solubility ?</h3>

The measure of the degree to which a substance gets dissolved in a solvent to become a solution.

The formula for determination of molar solubity is

\rm K_{sp} =  [A^+]^a [B^-]^b

\rm K_{sp}          = solubility product constant

\rm [A^+]^a  =     cation in an aqueous solution

\rm  [B^-]^b  = anion in an aqueous solution

a, b          = relative concentrations of a and b

We have the data given as

\rm K_{sp} for Ag₂CrO₄ is 8 x 10⁻¹²

For Silver chromate , the solubility would be only one-half of the Ag⁺ concentration.

We denote the solubility of Ag₂CrO₄ as S mol L⁻¹.

Then for a saturated solution, we have

[Ag⁺]=2S

[CrO₂⁴⁻]=S

the relation between the solubility and the solubility product constant depends on the stoichiometry of the dissolution reaction

(2S)²(S)=4S³ = 8 * 10⁻¹²

S=∛ (2*10⁻¹²)

S= 1.26 * 10⁻⁴ M

2S = 2.52 * 10⁻⁴ M

Therefore the molar solubility in water of Ag₂CrO₄ is 2.52 * 10⁻⁴ M .
