Calculate how many times more soluble Mg(OH)2 is in pure water Based on the given value of the Ksp, 5.61×10−11, calculate the ra

tio of solubility of Mg(OH)2 dissolved in pure H2O to Mg(OH)2 dissolved in a 0.130 M NaOH solution.
molar solubility in water = 2.41 x 10^-4

Answer:

molar solubility in water = 2.412 * 10^-4  mol/L

molar solubility of NaOH in 0.130M = 3.32 * 10^-9 mol/L

Mg(OH)2 is a factor 0.73*10^5 more soluble in pure water than in 0.130 M NaOH

Explanation:

The Ksp refers to the partial solubilization of a mostly insoluble salt. This is an equilibrium process.

 

The equation for the solubilization reaction of Mg(OH)2 can be given as:

 

Mg(OH)2 (s) → Mg2+ (aq) + 2OH– (aq)

 Ksp can then be given as followed:

Ksp = [Mg^2+][OH^–]²  

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the solubility in water

Mg(OH)2 (s) → Mg2+ (aq) + 2OH– (aq)

The mole ratio Mg^2+ with OH- is 1:2

So there will react X of Mg^2+ and 2X of OH-

The concentration at equilibrium will be XM Mg^2+ and 2X OH-

Ksp = [Mg^2+][OH^–]²  

5.61*10^-11 = X * (2X)² = X *4X² = 4X³

 X = <u>2.412 * 10^-4 mol/L = solubility in water</u>

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate solubility in 0.130 M NaOH

The initial concentration of Mg^2+  = 0 M

The initial concentration of OH- = 0.130 M

The mole ratio Mg^2+ with OH- is 1:2

So there will react X of Mg^2+ and 2X +0.130 for OH-

The concentration at equilibrium will be XM Mg^2+ and 0.130 + 2X OH-

The value of "[OH–] + 2X" is, because the very small value of X, equal to the value of [OH–] .

Let's consider:

[Mg+2] = X

[OH] = 0.130

Ksp = [Mg^2+][OH^–]²  

5.61*10^-11 = X *(0.130)²  

5.61*10^-11 = X * (0.130)^2

X = <u>3.32*10^-9 = solubility in 0.130 M NaOH </u>

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate how many times Mg(OH)2 is better soluble in pure water.

(2.412*10^-4)/ (3.32*10^-9) = 0.73 * 10^5

Mg(OH)2 is a factor 0.73*10^5 more soluble in pure water than in 0.130 M NaOH

What is the half-life of 20 g of a radioactive sample if 5 g remain after 8 minutes?
Anni [7]

Hello!

The half-life is the time of half-disintegration, it is the time in which half of the atoms of an isotope disintegrate.

We have the following data:

mo (initial mass) = 20 g

m (final mass after time T) = 5 g

x (number of periods elapsed) = ?

P (Half-life) = ? (in minutes)

T (Elapsed time for sample reduction) = 8 minutes

Let's find the number of periods elapsed (x), let us see:

m =  \dfrac{m_o}{2^x}

5 =  \dfrac{20}{2^x}

2^x = \dfrac{20}{5}

2^x = 4

2^x = 2^2

\boxed{x = 2}


Now, let's find the half-life (P) of the radioactive sample, let's see:

T = x*P

8 = 2*P

2\:P = 8

P = \dfrac{8}{2}

\boxed{\boxed{P = 4\:minutes}}\Longleftarrow(Half-Life)\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)

How is atomic number different from mass number?
Nimfa-mama [501]
Hello Gary My Man!

Well, as you can clearly see 

<span>The atomic number of an element is basically the number of protons it has. So yes, for every element this is different. Now, the mass number of an element as known, is the number of protons+the number of neutrons.  So theoretically as we can see, this number should be a whole number, but since there are different isotopes (atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons) of each element, most periodic tables take account of that, so they often include decimals as seen. 

So in Short, ALL</span> the atoms of a particular element have the SAME EXACT atomic number<span> (</span>number<span> of protons of course). The </span>atoms of different elements have very different numbers of protons. And of course, the MASS number of an atom is the TOTAL number as known, of protons and of course, the neutrons it contains in it.

I Hope my answer has come to your Help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead! :)
