What is the octet rule

8 0

The octet rule is that atoms must have 8 valence electrons to have an octet. Usually, when atoms have an octet, they tend not to bond with any other atoms because they are already stable and do not need to bond anymore.

This is a rule that says that atoms tend to combine to complete electrons to 8. And that means that the two atoms tend to combine to complete a shell to 8 electrons. Hope i helped. Have a nice day

When the temperature increases the atoms gain energy and the substance changes into a gas state.
The is the opposite when the temperature decreases and the liquid becomes solid ( in this case ice).

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.
