Answer:

Electrostatic Van de Waals forces act between molecules to form weak bonds. The types of Van der Waals forces, strongest to weakest, are dipole-dipole forces, dipole-induced dipole forces and the London dispersion forces. The hydrogen bond is based on a type of dipole-dipole force that is especially powerful. These forces help determine the physical characteristics of materials.

How many grams of FeCl3 are needed to make 1.5 L of a solution with a molarity of 0.450 M?

taurus [48]

Moles=concentration x volume. 1.5/1000 multiply 0.450 = 6.75x10^-4
To find the mass of fecl3, we have the formula, mass=moles x molar mass. 6.75x10^-4 x (55.8+35.5 x 3). = 0.1096g

Ugo [173]

Answer:

(A) $HNO_{3}$ Solubility will increase.

(B) $NaOH$ Solubility will decrease.

(C) $Ca(NO_{3} )_{2}$ Solubility will decrease.

Explanation:

a) According to Le Chatelier's Principle when a change is introduced in a reaction system at equilibrium, the system responds by the reaction shifting in the direction to counter the change introduced.

When the change introduced is addition of acid, some $OH^{-}$ are consumed due to it and the system would respond by reaction shifting towards creation of more $OH^{-}$ in the system by increased dissolution. Thus solubility increase.

(b) When $OH^{-}$ are added, the reaction shifts to counter the change introduced of increased $OH^{-}$ by shifting to side that decreases the increased $OH^{-}$ . That happens by reaction shifting towards some $Ca (OH)_{2}$ precipitating back. Hence solubility decreases.

(c) The change introduced is addition of $Ca^{2+}$ which will be countered by reaction shifting to side that decreases increased $Ca ^{2+}$ , which happens by some $Ca(OH)_{2}$ precipitating back. Hence solubility decreases.
