Hey there!:

To get to the molar solubility from the Ksp, you have to think about the how Ksp is calculated, and what it means.  

For a compound that forms 2 ions, Ksp = X^2 where X is the molar solubility. For a compound that forms 3 ions, Ksp = 4X^3, where again, X is the molar solubility.  

If you calculate the molar solubilities of each of your compounds, you will see that  A2X  has the higher molar solubilty

Hope this helps!

Answer:

A₃X

Explanation:

In order to find the molar solubility (S) of a compound, we will use an ICE Chart.

A₂X

Let's consider the solution of A₂X.

     A₂X(s) ⇄ 2 A⁺(aq) + X²⁻(aq)

I                         0           0

C                     +2S        +S

E                       2S          S

The solubility product (Kps) is:

Kps = 1.5 × 10⁻⁵ = [A⁺]².[X²⁻] = (2S)².S = 4S³

S = 0.016 M

A₃X

Let's consider the solution of A₃X.

     A₃X ⇄ 3 A⁺(aq) + X³⁻(aq)

I                    0             0

C                 +3S         +S

E                   3S           S

The solubility product (Kps) is:

Kps = 1.5 × 10⁻⁵ = [A⁺]³.[X³⁻] = (3S)³.S = 27 S⁴

S = 0.027 M

A₃X has a higher molar solubility than A₂X.

Why is sodium more reactive than lithium​
Elis [28]

Answer:

Sodium is more reactive than lithium because as we move down a group it is easy to lose electrons as the number of shells increases and nuclear charge decreases. As valence electrons take part in chemical reaction and its easier to lose electrons as we move down a group chemical reactivity increases. Therefore, sodium is more reactive than lithium.

1. Which of the following qualifies as a Bronsted-Lowry base but not an Arrhenius base?
Luden [163]

Arrhenius Theory: according to Arrhenius, acid is one that can donate proton in an aqueous solution, while base is one that can donate hydroxide ion in an aqueous solution.

Bronsted-Lowry Theory: according to Bronsted Lowry, acid is one that can donate protons while base is one that can accept a proton.

1. In first, only C. NH3 can't give hydroxide ion, but can accept a proton so it is a Bronsted-Lowry Base but not an Arrhenius base.

2.In second, as the definition suggested, bronsted base is one that can accept protons and acid is one that can loose protons. so answer is D. Acids lose H+ and bases gain H+.

You carefully weigh out 11.00 g of caco3 powder and add it to 44.55 g of hcl solution. you notice bubbles as a reaction takes pl
Zinaida [17]
The bubbles that were observed after the mixing of the two substances is one of the products of the reaction. It is the carbon dioxide that is produced. To determine the mass of this gas produced, we need to remember the Law of conservation of mass where mass cannot be created or destroyed. With this, we can say that the total mass that goes in a process should be equal to the mass that is goes out of the process no matter what the reaction is. We do as follows:

Mass of reactants = mass of products
11.00 + 44.55 = 51.04 + mass of carbon dioxide
mass of carbon dioxide = 4.51 g
