Answer:

Nuclear scientists continue to expand the periodic table as they detect new elements. ... Scientists create heavy elements by bombarding two lighter elements that together add up to the mass of the desired new element. One of the elements is stationary and thus called the target.

A) Which of the following equations model the law of conservations of mass? Ca + 2HCI - H2 + CaCl2 or

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The first equation

Explanation:

For these problems, it is best to label and record how many of each element are on each side of the equation. The first equation has 1 Ca, 2H, and 2Cl on both sides while the second equation has 3H on the left and 2H on the right making the second equation incorrect.

Compare the solubility of silver chromate in each of the following aqueous solutions: Clear All 0.10 M AgCH3COO 0.10 M Na2CrO4 0

slavikrds [6]

Solution :

Comparing the solubility of silver chromate for the solutions :

$0.10 \ M \ AgCH_3COO$ ----- Less soluble than in pure water.

$0.10 \ M \ Na_2CrO_4$ ----- Less soluble than in pure water.

$0.10 \ M \ NH_4NO_3$ ----- Similar solubility as in the pure water

$0.10 \ M \ KCH_3COO$ ----- Similar solubility as in the pure water

The silver chromate dissociates to form :

$AgCrO_4 (s) \rightleftharpoons 2Ag^+ (aq) +CrO_4^{2-}(aq)$

When 0.1 M of $AgCH_3COO^-$ is added, the equilibrium shifts towards the reverse direction due to the common ion effect of $Ag^+$ , so the solubility of $Ag_2CrO_4$ decreases.
