Answer:
New volume = 8.00 Liters
Explanation:
Boyles Law => P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
P₁ = 1.0 Atm
V₁ = 20.0 L
P₂ = 2.5 Atm
V₂ = ?
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ = V₂ = V₁(P₁/P₂) = 20.0L(1.0Atm/2.5Atm) = 8.00L
PbI(ii) ionization in the solution of PBI(ii) into water is:
<span>PbI</span>₂(solution) <==> Pb₂⁺ + 2I⁻
If the conc. of PbI(ii) in the sol. is xM then the conc. of Lead(ii) will be x M and conc. of iodide will be 2 x M.
Therefore,
<span>Ksp=<span>[Pb</span></span>²⁺][I-]²
Plugging the values:
1.4×10⁻⁸ = x ⋅ (2x)²
1.4×10⁻⁸ = 4x³
x³ = {1.4×10⁻⁸}÷4
x³ = 0.35 x 10⁻⁸
or
x³ = 3.5 x 10⁻⁹
x = 1.51 x 10⁻³
Hence,
Concentration of iodide ions in the solution:
2x = 3.02 x 10⁻³
Answer:
a. The fish are dying due to factory pollution making the water of the pond uninhabitable.
b. The pond can be neutralized by adding something basic to balance the pH levels of the pond, or by adding significant amounts of water to dillute the acidity of the pond.
