Answer : The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}]^3[PO_4^{3-}]^2$

Explanation :

Solubility product : It is defined as the product of the concentration of the ions that present in a solution raised to the power by its stoichiometric coefficient in a solution of a salt. This takes place at equilibrium only.

The solubility product constant is represented as, $K__{sp}$ .

The dissociation of calcium phosphate is written as:

$Ca_3(PO_4)_2\rightleftharpoons 3Ca^{2+}+2PO_4^{3-}$

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}]^3[PO_4^{3-}]^2$

The water-gas shift reaction CO(g)+H2O(g)⇌CO2(g)+H2(g) is used industrially to produce hydrogen. The reaction enthalpy is ΔH∘=−4

Answer:

To increase the yield of H₂ we would use a low temperature.

For an exothermic reaction such as this, decreasing temperature increases the value of K and the amount of products at equilibrium. Low temperature increases the value of K and the amount of products at equilibrium.

Explanation:

Let´s consider the following reaction:

CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⇌ CO₂(g) + H₂(g)

When a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the response of the system is explained by Le Chatelier's Principle: <em>If a system at equilibrium suffers a perturbation (in temperature, pressure, concentration), the system will shift its equilibrium position to counteract such perturbation</em>.

In this case, we have an exothermic reaction (ΔH° < 0). We can imagine heat as one of the products. If we decrease the temperature, the system will try to raise it favoring the forward reaction to release heat and, at the same time, increasing the yield of H₂. By having more products, the value of the equilibrium constant K increases.

15 grams of sodium reacts with a certain amount of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride, as shown below.

ale4655 [162]

Answer: 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is one in which two or more than two elements combine together to forma single product.

$Na+Cl\rightarrow NaCl$

The atoms present in the reactants are found on the product side. According to the law of conservation of mass, the number of atoms on both sides of the arrow must be same as the total mass must be conserved.

15 grams of sodium reacts with 22 grams of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride. Thus 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction.
