The solubility product of PbI2 is 7.9x10^-9. What is the molar solubility of PbI2 in distilled water?

Agata [3.3K]

Answer: The molar solubility of $PbI_2$ is $1.25\times 10^{-3}mol/L$

Explanation:

Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium.

Solubility product is defined as the product of concentration of ions present in a solution each raised to the power its stoichiometric ratio.

The balanced equilibrium reaction for the ionization of calcium fluoride follows:

$PbI_2\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}+2I^-$

s 2s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be:

$K_{sp}=[Pb^{2+}][I^-]^2$

We are given:

$K_{sp}=7.9\times 10^{-9}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$7.9\times 10^{-9}=(s)\times (2s)^2\\\\7.9\times 10^{-9}=4s^3\\\\s=1.25\times 10^{-3}mol/L$

Hence, the molar solubility of $PbI_2$ is $1.25\times 10^{-3}mol/L$

When molten candle wax solidifies is that a chemical reaction or not?l

andrey2020 [161]

Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction

Explanation:

Basically Wax is crystalline so once the candle light melts it freezes taking back the solid state to the room temperature.

When the room temperature is below the freezing point, the liquid candle wax, turns into solid state again, therefore this process is called solidification. The process of freezing or solidification is a process when an object turns liquid and freezes back to solid state.

Indeed, Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction

In general how are word equations written to describe chemical equations

Alexus [3.1K]

chemicals reacting are written on the left, what is formed is written on the right after the = sign

eg Copper + oxygen = copper oxide.
Hope this helps , mark as brainliest and say thanks THANKS..
