Explain how solubility guidelines can be used to predict the formation of a precipitate

1 answer:

6 0

According to the solubility rules, all silver salts are insoluble in water with the exception of silver nitrate, silver acetate and silver sulfate. Therefore, AgBr will precipitate out. The solubility rules are a useful guideline to predict whether a compound will dissolve or form a precipitate.

Which change of state is shown in the model?

Romashka [77]

I believe the change of state shown in the model is deposition.
Deposition is a process in which gases change phase and turns directly in solids without passing through the liquid phase. It is the opposite of sublimation.
One of the major difference between gases and solids is the distance between molecules; in gases the inter molecular spaces are large, while in solid they are very small, making solids be the most dense, with closely packed molecules. This is evident in the diagram, the phase changed from gases to solids.

Answer:

Based on compounds given, NO reaction occurs

Explanation

The compounds should exchange ions to generate a driving force that pulls the reaction to completion. => Example ...

The Molecular Equation is ...

NH₄Cl(aq) + AgNO₃(aq) => NH₄NO₃(aq) + AgCl(s)

Silver chloride forms in this reaction as a solid precipitate because of its low solubility and is the 'Driving Force' of the reaction. Driving Force is a more stable compound than any on the reactant side and when formed leaves the reaction system as a solid ppt, liquid weak electrolyte (i.e., weak acid or weak base) or a gas decomposition product of a weak electrolyte.

The Ionic Equation is ...

NH₄⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) + Ag⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) => NH₄⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) + AgCl(s)

This shows all ions from reaction plus the Driving Force of the reaction.

The Net Ionic Equation is ...

Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) => AgCl(s)

The Net Ionic Equation shows only those ions undergoing reaction. The NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions are 'Spectator Ions' and do not react.
