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.

How do I solve the following word problem: The half-life of Phosphorus - 32 is 14.3 days. It is used to study a plant's use of f
BaLLatris [955]

Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.

We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:

A=A_o\times2^{(-\frac{t}{t_{half}})_{}_{}}

A is the resulting amount after t time

Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg

t= Elapsed time

t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days

We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample

A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-t}{14.3}}

That would be the answer for a)

To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:

\begin{gathered} A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-84}{14.3}} \\ A=0.85\text{ mg} \end{gathered}

So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg

Describe the difference between a chemical reaction and a physical change.
GREYUIT [131]
A chemical change results from a chemical reaction, while a physical change is when matter changes forms but not chemical identity.


Examples of chemical changes are burning, cooking, rusting, and rotting.

Examples of physical changes are boiling, melting, freezing, and shredding.

Ammonia chemically reacts with oxygen gas to produce nitric oxide and water . What mass of water is produced by the reaction of
Kay [80]

Full Question:

Ammonia chemically reacts with oxygen gas to produce nitric oxide and water. What mass of water is produced by the reaction of 7.7g of ammonia?

Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

12.23g ≈ 12g (2 s.f)

Explanation:

Ammonia chemically reacts with oxygen gas to produce nitric oxide and water. The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

4 NH3 + 5 O2 ------->  4 NO + 6 H2O

From the reaction;

4 mole of ammonia reacts to produce 6 moles of water

From the question;

Moles = mass / molar mass

From the question;

moles of ammonia = mass / molar mass = 7.7 / 17 = 0.4529moles

Number of moles of water produced;

4 = 6

0.4529 = x

x = (0.4529 * 6 )  / 4

x = 0.67935moles

Mass of water =  moles * molar mass = 0.67935 * 18 = 12.23g ≈ 12g (2 s.f)
