When we have:
Zn(OH)2 → Zn2+ 2OH- with Ksp = 3 x 10 ^-16
and:
Zn2+ + 4OH- → Zn(OH)4 2- with Kf = 2 x 10^15
by mixing those equations together:
Zn(OH)2 + 2OH- → Zn(OH)4 2- with K = Kf *Ksp = 3 x 10^-16 * 2x10^15 =0.6
by using ICE table:
Zn(OH)2 + 2OH- → Zn(OH)4 2-
initial 2m 0
change -2X +X
Equ 2-2X X
when we assume that the solubility is X
and when K = [Zn(OH)4 2-] / [OH-]^2
0.6 = X / (2-2X)^2 by solving this equation for X
∴ X = 0.53 m
∴ the solubility of Zn(OH)2 = 0.53 M
The correct answer is - A) The major constituents of air are gaseous elements.
With the statement ''the major constituents of air are gaseous elements'' we can easily conclude that the air is a mixture. The reason for that is that we have a plural usage of the word element, elements, which mean that there are multiple elements that make up the air.
The air is indeed predominantly a mixture of gaseous elements. The most abundant gas in the air being the nitrogen with 78.9%, oxygen with 20.95%, argon 0.93%, and carbon dioxide 0.04%, with lesser amounts of other gases also be present in it. The water vapor is also present in the air, though it is variable, being around 1% at sea level, but only 0.4% over the entire atmosphere.
Bromine is less electronegative than chlorine, yet methyl bromide and methyl chloride have very similar dipole moments. This is because the bond distance in methyl bromide is more due to the large size of bromine atom.
Dipole moment is calculated by multiplying the charge on the atom with the bond distance.
We can rephrase the statement with a little more specificity in order to understand the answer here.
The mass of the products can never be more than the The mass that is expected.
