Answer:

a) Ksp = 7.9x10⁻¹⁰

b) Solubility is 6.31x10⁻⁶M

Explanation:

a) InF₃ in water produce:

InF₃ ⇄ In⁺³ + 3F⁻

And Ksp is defined as:

Ksp = [In⁺³] [F⁻]³

4.0x10⁻²g / 100mL of InF₃ are:

4.0x10⁻²g / 100mL ₓ (1mol / 172g) ₓ (100mL / 0.1L) = <em>2.3x10⁻³M  InF₃. </em>Thus:

[In⁺³] = 2.3x10⁻³M  InF₃ × (1 mol In⁺³ / mol InF₃) = 2.3x10⁻³M  In⁺³

[F⁻] = 2.3x10⁻³M  InF₃ × (3 mol F⁻ / mol InF₃) = 7.0x10⁻³M F⁻

Replacing these values in Ksp formula:

Ksp = [2.3x10⁻³M  In⁺³] × [7.0x10⁻³M F⁻]³ = <em>7.9x10⁻¹⁰</em>

<em></em>

b) 0.05 moles of F⁻ produce solubility of InF₃ decrease to:

7.9x10⁻¹⁰ = [x] [0.05 + 3x]³

Where x are moles of In⁺³ produced from solid InF₃ and 3x are moles of F⁻ produced from the same source. That means x is solubility in mol / L

Solving from x:

x = -0.018 → False solution, there is no negative concentrations.

x = 6.31x10⁻⁶M → Right answer.

Thus, <em>solubility is 6.31x10⁻⁶M</em>

Zinc will displace copper from a solution of copper sulfate, and magnesium will displace zinc from a solution of zinc sulfate. W
Anna [14]

Answer:

The displacement reactions are regarded as redox reactions because they involve the formal transfer of electrons from one chemical specie to the other

2) The series of reactivity of the metals in the order of increasing reactivity are;

  • Copper

           ↓

  • Zinc

           ↓

  • Magnesium

Explanation:

1) Redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction is a chemical reaction involving the loss and gain of electrons from one chemical species to another, where the chemical species that undergoes oxidation, loses electrons and is termed the reducing agent, while the other chemical species that undergoes reduction, gains electrons, and is termed the oxidizing agent

2) The redox reaction can being based on the affinity for electrons depends on the positions of the reactants in the electrochemical series as well as the chemical reactivity of the metals with zinc being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than copper and magnesium being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than zinc

Least  reactive (Cu)  <     (Zn)        < Mg Most reactive

Copper                     <      Zinc       < Magnesium.

Explain the meaning of each term in the symbol aXz
Ede4ka [16]

AXz

Explanation:

It is a chemical notation of nuclide

Here X is the symbol of the element

A is the mass number of element

A=n+p(sum of protons and neutrons)

Z is the atomic number.

For example, 12C6

Hers X is C, symbol of carbon

12 is the mass number and 6 is the atomic number of the carbon.

What energy sources boil the water in geothermal energy
GREYUIT [131]
The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity. Many power plants still use fossil fuels to boil water for steam. Geothermal power plants, however, use steam produced from reservoirs of hot water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's surface.
