Answer: option D. the ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt.

Justification:

NaOH is a strong base, which means that in water it will dissociate according to this reaction:

NaOH(aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)

On the other hand, CuSO₄ is a soluble ionic salt which in water will dissociate into its ions according to this other reaction:

CuSO₄(aq) → Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Hence, in solution, the sodium ion (Na⁺) will react with the metal salt in a double replacement reaction, where the highly reactive sodium ion (Na⁺) will substitute the Cu²⁺ in the CuSO₄ to form the sodium sulfate salt, Na₂SO₄ (water soluble), and the copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)₂ (insoluble).

That is what the given reaction represents:

CuSO₄ (aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s) + Na₂SO₄(aq)

Which compound in each pair is more soluble in water?(b) Calcium phosphate or magnesium phosphate

Sidana [21]

<u>larger is the value of </u> $Ksp$ <u> the higher will the solubility of solid in water.</u>

What is called compound?

In chemistry, a compound is a substance made up of two or more different chemical elements combined in a fixed ratio.
When the elements come together, they react with each other and form chemical bonds that are difficult to break.
These bonds form as a result of sharing or exchanging electrons between atoms.

The equation for the dissociation of a solid MX in water is given below

MX(s) ⇄ Mⁿ⁺(aq) + Xⁿ⁻ (aq)

Assume s be the solubility of MX in pure water, then the equilibrium concentrations of ions are

[ Mⁿ⁺] = s

[ Xⁿ⁻ ] = s

The expression for the solubility product constant ( $Ksp$ ) is as follows

$Ksp$ = [ Mⁿ⁺] [ Xⁿ⁻ ]

= s²

That is, larger is the value of $Ksp$ the higher will the solubility of solid in water.

4) The initial rate of the reaction between substances P and Q was measured in a series of

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The initial rate of the reaction between substances P and Q was measured in a series of

experiments and the following rate equation was deduced.

$rate = k[P]^{2} [Q]$

Complete the table of data below for the reaction between P and Q

Explanation:

Given rate of the reaction is:

$rate= k[P]^{2} [Q]\\=>[Q]=\frac{rate}{k.[P]^{2} } \\and \\\\\\\ [P]=\sqrt{\frac{rate}{k.[Q]} }$

Substitute the given values in this formulae to get the [P], [Q] and rate values.

From the first row,

the value of k can be calulated:

$k=\frac{rate}{[P]^{2}[Q] } \\ =\frac{4.8*10^-3}{(0.2)^{2} 2. (0.30)} \\ =0.4$

Second row:

2. Rate value:

$rate =0.4* (0.10)^{2} * (0.10)\\\\ =4.0*10^-3mol.dm^-3.s^-1$

3.Third row:

$[Q]=\frac{rate}{k.[P]^{2} } \\ =9.6*10^-3 / (0.4 *(0.40)^{2} \\ =0.15mol.dm^{-3}$

4. Fourth row:

$[P]=\sqrt{\frac{rate}{k.[Q]} }\\=>[P]=\sqrt{\frac{19.2*10^-3}{0.60*0.4} } \\=>[P]=0.283mol.dm^{-3}$

Over the course of two years the top layer of soil at a Michigan farm is blown away

Colt1911 [192]

For each of the situations below, state whether it describes erosion, weathering, or possibly both.

Answer:

Erosion

Explanation:

The blowing away of the top layer of the soil at a Michigan farm is best described as scenario that shows wind erosion.

Erosion is the removal of the top layer of the earth on which plant grows. In short is the washing away of soil by stream or blowing away by wind.

When soil is blow away, it is a pure case of erosion. The process of erosion usually follows weathering or sometime occurs together with it.

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Often times, the process of weathering and erosion occurs together. It is loose weathering products that are carried away during erosion.

In the soil layer at Michigan, the process of erosion by wind is current taking place by ablation.
