As,
CuCO₃ ⇆ Cu²⁺ + CO₃²⁻
So,
Kc = [Cu²⁺] [CO₃²⁻] / CuCO₃
Or,
Kc (CuCO₃) = [Cu²⁺] [CO₃²⁻]
Or,
Ksp = [Cu²⁺] [CO₃²⁻]
As,
Ksp = 1.4 × 10⁻¹⁰
So,
1.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ = [x] [x]
Or,
x² = 1.4 × 10⁻¹⁰
Or,
x = 1.18 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L
To cahnge ito g/L,
x = 1.18 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L × 123.526 g/mol
x = 1.45 × 10⁻³ g/L
Best Answer
C) is the best description, although a scientific theory is not necessarily a "fact". They are, however, based on evidence.
A) is complete garbage.
B) is a good description of a scientific "law"- something that predicts how a certain event will occur without explaining why this is (for instance, the law of gravity accurately describes the gravitational forces between two bodies, but does not explain why these forces are there).
D) is a scientific "hypothesis"- an explanation for an observed phenomena that is yet to be proven.
Answer: 8, which is basic
Explanation: The hydrogen ion concentration is 1.0 x 10^-8 mole per liter. Using [H+] = 1.0 x 10 -(pH) the pH is 8. A pH above 7 is basic.
