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.

How glass tube filed with acidified potassium dichromate detect drunken driver
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction between alcohol and acidified potassium dichromate  is a redox reaction. This reaction can be used to detect a drunken driver.

Alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids depending on the structure of the alcohol. Primary alcohols yield adehydes and carboxylic acids while secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones.

The colour of the acidified potassium dichromate turns from orange to green when exposed to alcohols from the breath of a drunken driver.

The half-life for the radioactive decay of ce−141 is 32.5 days. if a sample has an activity of 3.8 μci after 162.5 d have elapse
Umnica [9.8K]
Answer : 121.5 <span>μCi

Explanation : We have Ce-141 half life given as 32.5 days so if the activity is 3.8 </span><span>μci after 162.5 days of time elapsed we have to find the initial activity.

We can use this formula;

</span>\frac{N}{ N_{0} } =  e^{-( \frac{0.693 X  T_{2} }{T_{1}})

3.8 / N_{0} = e^ ((0.693 X 162.5 ) / 32.5) = 121.5
<span>
On solving we get, The initial activity as 121.5  </span>μci
