Gravity pulls mass towards its center, therefore as matter is pulled towards a source of gravity it will naturally coalesce into a ball as matter competes to head towards the source of gravity.

Calculate the solubility of copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)2, in g/L

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Ksp = [ Cu+² ] [ OH-] ²

molar mass Cu(oH )2 ==> M= 63.546 (1) + 16 (2) + 1 (2) = 97.546 g/mol

Ksp = [ Cu+² ] [ OH-] ²

Ksp [ cu (OH)2 ] = 2.2 × 10-²⁰

|__________|___Cu+² __|_2OH-____|

|Initial concentration(M)|___0__|_0______|

|Change in concentration(M)|_+S |__+2S__|

|Equilibrium concentration(M)|_S _|2S___|

Ksp = [ Cu+² ] [ OH-] ²

2.2 ×10-²⁰ = (S)(2S)²= 4S³

$s = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{2.2 \times {10}^{ - 20} }{4} } = 1.8 \times {10}^{ - 7}$

S = 1.8 × 10-⁷ M

The molar solubility of Cu(OH)2 is 1.8 × 10-⁷ M

Solubility of Cu (OH)2 =

$Cu (OH)2 = \frac{1.8 \times {10}^{ - 7} mol \:Cu (OH)2 }{1L} \times \frac{97.546 \: g \: Cu (OH)2}{1 \: mol \: Cu (OH)2} \\ = 1.75428 \times 10 ^{ - 5}$

<h3>Solubility of Cu (OH)2 = 1.75428 × 10 -⁵ g/ L</h3>

O, li, c which electrons experience the greatest effective nuclear charge? express your answer as a chemical formula.

Nataly_w [17]

The effective nuclear charge of an atom = total electrons - inner electrons For O, ENC = 8 - 2 = 6 For Li, ENC = 3 - 2 = 1 For C, ENC = 6 - 2 = 4 The electrons in O experience the greatest effective nuclear charge and that is why O is smaller than C (which is smaller than Li).

Find the pHpH of a solution prepared from 1.0 LL of a 0.15 MM solution of Ba(OH)2Ba(OH)2 and excess Zn(OH)2(s)Zn(OH)2(s). The Ks

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

pH = 13.09

Explanation:

Zn(OH)2 --> Zn+2 + 2OH- Ksp = 3X10^-15

Zn+2 + 4OH- --> Zn(OH)4-2 Kf = 2X10^15

K = Ksp X Kf

= 3*2*10^-15 * 10^15

= 6

Concentration of OH⁻ = 2[Ba(OH)₂] = 2 * 0.15 = 3 M

Zn(OH)₂ + 2OH⁻(aq) --> Zn(OH)₄²⁻(aq)

Initial: 0 0.3 0

Change: -2x +x

Equilibrium: 0.3 - 2x x

K = Zn(OH)₄²⁻/[OH⁻]²

6 = x/(0.3 - 2x)²

6 = x/(0.3 -2x)(0.3 -2x)

6(0.09 -1.2x + 4x²) = x

0.54 - 7.2x + 24x² = x

24x² - 8.2x + 0.54 = 0

Upon solving as quadratic equation, we obtain;

x = 0.089

Therefore,

Concentration of (OH⁻) = 0.3 - 2x

= 0.3 -(2*0.089)

= 0.122

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

= -log 0.122

= 0.91

pH = 14-0.91

= 13.09
