Answer: The solubility of this compound in pure water is 0.012 M

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as K_{sp}

The equation for the ionization of the  is given as:

Ca(OH)_2\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2OH^-  

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of  Ca(OH)_2 gives 1 mole of Ca^{2+} and 2 mole of OH^-

When the solubility of  Ca(OH)_2 is S moles/liter, then the solubility of Ca^{2+}  will be S moles\liter and solubility of OH^- will be 2S moles/liter.

K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][OH^{-}]^2

6.5\times 10^{-6}=[S][2S]^2

S=0.012M

Thus solubility of this compound in pure water is 0.012 M

Why is carbon used to extract metals from their oxides? ​
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

If a metal is less reactive than carbon, it can be extracted from its oxide by heating with carbon. The carbon displaces the metal from the compound, and removes the oxygen from the oxide. This leaves the metal.

how many grams of silver medal could be recovered from a reaction of 50 g silver nitrate and copper metal
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Answer is: mass of copper is 127 grams.

Balanced chemical reaction: Cu(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2Ag(s).

m(Ag) = 432 g.

n(Ag) = m(Ag) ÷ M(Ag).

n(Ag) = 432 g ÷ 108 g/mol.

n(Ag) = 4 mol.

From chemical reaction: n(Ag) : n(Cu) = 2 : 1.

n(Cu) = 4 mol ÷ 2 = 2 mol.

m(Cu) = n(Cu) · M(Cu).

m(Cu) = 2 mol · 63.5 g/mol.

m(Cu) = 127 g

How many moles of HCl would react with 37.1 mL of 0.138 M Sr(OH)2
Lena [83]

Answer is: 0.102 moles of HCl would react.

Balanced chemical reaction:

2HCl(aq) + Sr(OH)₂ → SrCl₂(aq) + 2H₂O(l).

V(Sr(OH)₂) = 37.1 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L.

V(Sr(OH)₂) = 0.0371 L; volume of the strontium hydroxide solution.

c(Sr(OH)₂) = 0.138 M; molarity of the strontium hydroxide solution.

n(Sr(OH)₂) = c(Sr(OH)₂) · V(Sr(OH)₂).

n(Sr(OH)₂) = 0.0371 L · 0.138 mol/L.

n(Sr(OH)₂) = 0.0051 mol; amount of the strontium hydroxide.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(Sr(OH)₂) : n(HCl) = 1 : 2.

n(HCl) = 2 · n(Sr(OH)₂).

n(HCl) = 2 · 0.0051 mol.

n(HCl) = 0.0102 mol; amount of the hydrochloric acid.
