For which salt should the aqueous solubility be most sensitive to ph?

1 answer:

6 0

The salt that its aqueous solubility most sensitive to pH would be calcium fluoride (CaF2). It is an insoluble salt which when reacted with an acid, it yields this equation:

CaF2 (s) + 2 HX (aq) → 2 HF (aq) + CaX2 (aq)

Since it produces H+ and and OH- when combined with water, it is therefore sensitive to pH.

Draw the products of benzoic acid reacting with sodium hydroxide.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Products: C6H5COO-Na+ (aq) + H2O (l)

Explanation:

when the benzoic acid react with sodium hydroxide, the acid part i.e carboxyl group is react with the base and produce ionic compound sodium benzoate (C6H5COO-Na+).

Chemical equation:

C6H5COOH + NaOH → C6H5COO-Na+ + H2O

Chemical reaction with physical states:

C6H5COOH (s) + NaOH (aq) → C6H5COO-Na+ (aq) + H2O (l)

Sodium benzoate is very polar ionic compound and soluble in water. If we add HCl into this solution sodium benzoate will be converted back into benzoic acid.

Properties of benzoic acid:

1. it is colorless solid.

2. it is crystalline in nature.

3. it is aromatic compound with the formula C7H6O2.

4. it is soluble into benzene, alcohol and ether.

5. its molar mass is 122.12 g/mol.

Properties of sodium benzoate:

1. Sodium benzoate is white odorless chemical compound.

2. It is aromatic compound and molecular formula is C7H5NaO2.

3. Its molecular weight is 144.11 g/mol.

4. it is sweet in taste and soluble in water.

5. it is used as preservative because of its antimicrobial properties.

Properties of Sodium hydroxide:

1. it is colorless solid and inorganic compound.

2. it is crystalline in nature.

3. its molar mass is 40 g/mol.

4. its molecular formula is NaOH.

5. its melting point is 318 °C.

The chemical formula for strontium sulfite is SrSO3. TRUE FALSE

VLD [36.1K]

Valency is the number of electrons lost or gained by an atom to attain an stable configuration. Valency is important when writing the formula of chemical compounds in chemistry. Strontium has a valency of 2 while sulfite ion (radicle) has a valency of 2. Therefore, the chemical formula of strontium sulfite is written as SrSO3.

A solution was prepared by dissolving 28.0g of KCL in 225g of water. Part A Calculate the mass percent ofKCL in the solution. Pa

Westkost [7]

Answer:

A. 11.1%

B. 0.0291

C. 1.57 M

D. 1.67 m

Explanation:

Mass of KCl (solute): 28.0 g

Mass of water (solvent): 225 g

Mass of solution: 28.0 g + 225 g = 253 g

The mass percent of KCl is:

%KCl = (mass of KCl/mass of solution) × 100%

%KCl = (28.0 g/253 g) × 100%

%KCl = 11.1%

The molar mass of KCl is 74.55 g/mol. The moles of KCl are:

28.0 g × (1 mol/74.55 g) = 0.376 mol

The molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol. The moles of water are:

225 g × (1 mol/18.02 g) = 12.5 mol

The total number of moles is 0.376 mol + 12.5 mol = 12.9 mol.

The mole fraction of KCl is:

X(KCl) = moles of KCl / total moles

X(KCl) = 0.376 mol / 12.9 mol

X(KCl) = 0.0291

The volume of the solution is 239 mL (0.239 L).

The molarity of KCl is:

M = moles of KCl / liters of solution

M = 0.376 mol / 0.239 L

M = 1.57 M

The molality of KCl is:

m = moles of KCl / kilograms of solvent

m = 0.376 mol / 0.225 kg

m = 1.67 m
