Answer:

The addition of hydronium ion increases the solubility of the salt

Explanation:

When a weak acid, MA dissociates in an aqueous solution, the following products in equilibrium are obtained;

MA ----> M+ + A-

The anion which is a conjugate base will be removed from the solution with the addition of a hydronium ion from an acid: 2H3O+ + 2A- ----> 2HA + 2H20

This distorts the reaction equilibrium. According to Le Chatelier’s principle, more MA will dissolve until in order to restore the previous equilibrium of the reaction.

Therefore, an acidic pH increases the solubility of almost all sparingly soluble salts whose anion is the conjugate base of a weak acid.

2 Na + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2 (balanced equation)
The answer would be 2, since 2 in the coefficient of both Na and NaOH

A solution is made by mixing equal masses of methanol, CH 4 O , and ethanol, C 2 H 6 O . Determine the mole fraction of each com

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Mole fraction of $CH_4O$ = 0.58

Mole fraction of $C_2H_6O$ = 0.42

Explanation:

Let the mass of $CH_4O$ and $C_2H_6O$ = x g

Molar mass of $CH_4O$ = 33.035 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles_{CH_4O}= \frac{x\ g}{33.035\ g/mol}$

$Moles_{CH_4O}=\frac{x}{33.035}\ mol$

Molar mass of $C_2H_6O$ = 46.07 g/mol

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{x\ g}{46.07\ g/mol}$

$Moles_{C_2H_6O}=\frac{x}{46.07}\ mol$

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ CH_4O=\frac {n_{CH_4O}}{n_{CH_4O}+n_{C_2H_6O}}$

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ CH_4O=\frac{\frac{x}{33.035}}{\frac{x}{33.035}+\frac{x}{46.07}}=0.58$

Mole fraction of $C_2H_6O$ = 1 - 0.58 = 0.42
