Answer:
3.0x10⁻²M
Explanation:
Silver sulfate, Ag₂SO₄, has a product constant solubility equilbrium of:
Ag₂SO₄(s) ⇄ 2Ag⁺ + SO₄²⁻
When an excess of silver sulfate is added, some Ag₂SO₄ will react producing Ag⁺ and SO₄²⁻ until reach the equilbrium determined for the formula:
ksp = 1.4x10⁻⁵ = [Ag⁺]² [SO₄²⁻]
Assuming the Ag₂SO₄ that react until reach equilibrium is X, we can replace in Ksp expression:
1.4x10⁻⁵ = [Ag⁺]² [SO₄²⁻]
1.4x10⁻⁵ = [2X]² [X]
1.4x10⁻⁵ = 4X³
3.5x10⁻⁶ = X³
0.015 = X
As [Ag⁺] is 2X:
[Ag⁺] = 0.030 = 3.0x10⁻²M
The answer is:
<h3>3.0x10⁻²M</h3>
The reason that some of the elements of period three and beyond are steady in spite of not sticking to the octet rule is due to the fact of possessing the tendency of forming large size, and a tendency of making more than four bonds. For example, sulfur, it belongs to period 3 and is big enough to hold six fluorine atoms as can be seen in the molecule SF₆, while the second period of an element like nitrogen may not be big to comprise 6 fluorine atoms.
The existence of unoccupied d orbitals are accessible for bonding for period 3 elements and beyond, the size plays a prime function than the tendency to produce more bonds. Hence, the suggestion of the second friend is correct.
