Answer: Molecules of gas are usually far apart and can be compressed unlike molecules of liquids.

Explanation:

The molecules of gases are usually far apart, moving freely and randomly, occupying extra space in the containing vessel. Hence, when compressed to become closely packed, gases have lower volume.

However, unlike gases, the molecules of a liquid are restricted, move less freely and occupy no extra space. Hence, liquids cannot be compressed, and their volume remains the same in their containing vessel.

Approximately how many moles of chlorine make up 1.79 × 1023 atoms of chlorine?
e-lub [12.9K]
1.2*10^24# atoms of chlorine

Explanation:
Chlorine gas (#Cl_2#) has two atoms of elemental chlorine in a molecule, so:
#1# mol of #Cl_2# have #6*10^23# molecules of #Cl_2#
#1# molecule of #Cl_2# have #2# atoms per molucule
Then #2*6*10^23 = 1.2*10^24# atoms of chlorine in a mol of chlorine gas

Look at sample problem 19.10 in the 8th ed Silberberg book. Write the Ksp expression. Find the concentrations of the ions you ne
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

CaF_2 \to Ca^{2+} + 2F^-

Ksp = 3.2 \times 10^{-11}

no of moles of Ca^{2+} = 0.01 L × 0.0010 mol/L

no of moles of Ca^{2+} = 1 \times 10^{-5} \ mol

no of moles of F^- = 0.01 L × 0.00010 mol/L

no of moles of F^- = 1 \times 10^{-6}\ mol

Total volume = 0.02 L

[Ca^{2+}}] = \dfrac{1\times10^{-5} \ mol}{0.02 \ L} \\ \\  \\  \[[Ca^{2+}}] = 0.0005 \ mol/L

[F^{-}] = \dfrac{(1\times 10^{-6} \ mol)}{0.02 \ L}

[F^{-}] = 5 \times 10^{-5}  \ mol/L

Q = [Ca^{2+}][F^-]^2 \\ \\ Q = 0.0005 \times (5\times 10^{-5})^2 \\ \\ Q = 1.25 \times 10^{-12}

Since Q<ksp, then there will no be any precipitation of CaF2
