Answer: (a) The solubility of CuCl in pure water is 1.1 \times 10^{-3} M.

(b) The solubility of CuCl in 0.1 M NaCl is 9.5 \times 10^{-3} M.

Explanation:

(a)  Chemical equation for the given reaction in pure water is as follows.

           CuCl(s) \rightarrow Cu^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)

Initial:                         0            0

Change:                    +x           +x

Equilibm:                   x             x

K_{sp} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}

And, equilibrium expression is as follows.

          K_{sp} = [Cu^{+}][Cl^{-}]

       1.2 \times 10^{-6} = x \times x

             x = 1.1 \times 10^{-3} M

Hence, the solubility of CuCl in pure water is 1.1 \times 10^{-3} M.

(b)  When NaCl is 0.1 M,

       CuCl(s) \rightarrow Cu^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq),  K_{sp} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}

   Cu^{+}(aq) + 2Cl^{-}(aq) \rightleftharpoons CuCl_{2}(aq),  K = 8.7 \times 10^{4}

Net equation: CuCl(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow CuCl_{2}(aq)

               K' = K_{sp} \times K

                          = 0.1044

So for, CuCl(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow CuCl_{2}(aq)

Initial:                     0.1                 0

Change:                -x                   +x

Equilibm:            0.1 - x                x

Now, the equilibrium expression is as follows.

              K' = \frac{CuCl_{2}}{Cl^{-}}

         0.1044 = \frac{x}{0.1 - x}

              x = 9.5 \times 10^{-3} M

Therefore, the solubility of CuCl in 0.1 M NaCl is 9.5 \times 10^{-3} M.

Give the structures of both 1,2 and 1,4 adducts resulting from reaction of 1 equivalent of hcl with 1,3-pentadiene
GrogVix [38]

1,3-pentadiene has two double bonds which are conjugated, which undergo electrophilic addition reaction on reacting with HCl.

The structure of 1,3-pentadiene is shown in the image.

When strong acid such as HCl reacts with 1,3-pentadiene, the electrophilic addition reaction can occur either on double bond at 1,2-position or at 3,4-position. The reaction that occurs is shown in the image.
