Answer:

1.12 × 10⁻⁴ M

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the reaction for the solution of Mg(OH)₂

Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

Step 2: Make an ICE chart

We can relate the solubility product constant (Ksp) with the solubility (S) through an ICE chart.

       Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

I                                0                    0

C                              +S                +2S

E                                S                  2S

The solubility product constant is:

Ksp = 5.61 × 10⁻¹² = [Mg²⁺] × [OH⁻]² = S × (2S)² = 4S³

S = 1.12 × 10⁻⁴ M

The standard cell potential of the following galvanic cell is 1.562 V at 298 K. Zn(s) | Zn2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s) What is the
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

E = 1.602v

Explanation:

Use the Nernst Equation => E(non-std) = E⁰(std) – (0.0592/n)logQc …

             Zn⁰(s) => Zn⁺²(aq) + 2 eˉ

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2eˉ=> 2Ag⁰(s)          

_____________________________

Zn⁰(s) + 2Ag⁺(aq) => Zn⁺²(aq) + 2Ag(s)

Given E⁰ = 1.562v

Qc = [Zn⁺²(aq)]/[Ag⁺]² = (1 x 10ˉ³)/(0.150)² = 0.044

E = E⁰ -(0.0592/n)logQc = 1.562v – (0.0592/2)log(0.044) = 1.602v

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The temperature and pressure below which a supercritical fluid exists.

Explanation:

Critical point is a region on the phase diagram where fluid phases (liquids and gases) have the equal density.

This is caused by increased temperature and pressure of the fluid particles in a confided container. Supercritical fluids exist in a state above critical point.

I hope this explanation was clear.

Refer to the periodic table tool and write the electron configurations of the following elements in both long and short terms
ahrayia [7]

Answer:-

Carbon

[He] 2s2 2p2

1s2 2s2 2p2.

potassium

[Ar] 4s1.

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Explanation:-

For writing the short form of the electronic configuration we look for the nearest noble gas with atomic number less than the element in question. We subtract the atomic number of that noble gas from the atomic number of the element in question.

The extra electrons we then assign normally starting with using the row after the noble gas ends. We write the name of that noble gas in [brackets] and then write the electronic configuration.

For carbon with Z = 6 the nearest noble gas is Helium. It has the atomic number 2. Subtracting 6 – 2 we get 4 electrons. Helium lies in 1st row. Starting with 2, we get 2s2 2p2.

So the short term electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2

Similarly, for potassium with Z = 19 the nearest noble gas is Argon. It has the atomic number 18. Subtracting 19-18 we get 1 electron. Argon lies in 3rd row. Starting with 4, we get 4s1.

So the short electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s1.

For long term electronic configuration we must write the electronic configuration of the noble gas as well.

So for Carbon it is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

For potassium it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

The air at the top of Mount Everest has pressures of 201.0 torr N2, 50.0 torr O2, 2.0 torr Ar, and 0.5 torr CO2. What is the tot
nordsb [41]

Answer:

The total air pressure at the top of the highest peak in the world is 253.5 torr

Explanation:

The partial pressures of the gases present at the top of Mount Everest are;

Nitrogen, N₂ = 201.0 torr

Oxygen, O₂ = 50.0 torr

Argon, Ar = 2.0 torr

Carbon dioxide, CO₂ = 0.5 torr

By Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure that a mixture of gases exerts is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases

Mathematically, the law can be expressed as follows;

Total pressure, P = ∑P_i = P₁ + P₂ + · · ·

From which we have;

The total air pressure at the top of the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest, P_{Total Mont Everest} = The sum of the partial pressures of N₂, O₂, Ar, and CO₂

P_{Total Mont Everest} = 201.0 torr + 50.0 torr + 2.0 torr + 0.5 torr = 253.5 torr

P_{Total Mont Everest} = 253.5 torr = 0.33355263 atmosphere

Therefore, the total air pressure at the top of the highest peak in the world,  P_{Total Mont Everest} = 253.5 torr
