Ans: 4) PbSO4

Different compounds are soluble in water to a different extent, some of them are completely insoluble in water. Solubility rules help in identifying the water soluble and insoluble compounds.

Based on the rules:

1) Salts of group IA (Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs) are soluble in water

2) Salts containing NH4+ ions are water soluble

3) All phosphates (PO4³⁻) are insoluble except those containing group IA elements and (NH4)₃PO4

4) All sulfates, SO4²⁻ salts are generally soluble with the exception of Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Hg₂²⁺, Hg2+, Pb2+ and Ag+

Therefore, among the given examples:

1) KOH contains group 1A (K) therefore soluble

2) Na3PO4 contains group IA element (Na), therefore soluble

3) NH4Cl contains NH4+ ion, therefore soluble

4) Sulfate of lead (Pb) is insoluble

A piece of solid carbon dioxide, with a mass of 7.8g,is placed in a 4.0-L otherwise empty container at 278C. What is the pressur

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

First question: P = 2.00 atm (1520 torr)

Second question: Partial pressure of carbon dioxide: 2.00 atm (1520 torr); total pressure: 2.97 atm (2260 torr).

Explanation:

The molar mass of caron dioxide, CO₂, is:

12 g/mol of C + 2*16 g/mol of O = 44 g/mol

The number of moles is the mass divided by the molar mass:

n = 7.8/44 = 0.1773 mol

By the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

Where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant (0.082 atm*L/mol*K), and T is the temperature (278ºC + 273 = 551 K).

So, the pressure will be:

P*4 = 0.1773*0.082*551

P = 2.00 atm = 1520 torr

If there was air in the container, the partial pressure of the carbon dioxide will still the same, 2 atm (1520 torr), because the partial pressure is the pressure the substance would have if it eas alone in the container.

The total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures, so

Pt = 740 + 1520 = 2260 torr = 2.97 atm

Why is there not a corresponding drop in ionization energies between Bi and Po in the sixth period as N and O?

Stels [109]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to the Journal of Chemical Education, Volume 80, No.8 (2003); "The first ionization energy of bismuth appears to be anomalous......It has been claimed that spin– orbit coupling by the Russell–Saunders scheme would lower the ground state of Bi+ ..."

However, the involvement of d and f orbitals in Bi and Po implies that the outermost orbitals are poorly screened hence the drop between nitrogen and oxygen is not observed between Bi and Po.

The same argument could be extended to explain the reason why there not a corresponding drop between Ba and Tl is the sixth period even though they are in the same group as Be and B.

What is a product of science

ddd [48]

Answer:

A product in science is a substance that is formed when two or more chemicals react.

Explanation:

When a chemical reaction takes place, a new substance is often created from the atoms or molecules of the original substances. There are often multiple products formed in a reaction.

The pressure of a sample of helium is 1.556 atm in a 268.5 mL container. If the container is compressed to 112.4 mL without chan

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

a. 3.72 [atm]

Explanation:

For a gas at constant temperature, (with no change in number of molecules of the gas), we can apply Boyle's Law: $P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

$(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL])=P_2(112.4[mL])$

$\dfrac{(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}])}{112.4[mL \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}]}=\dfrac{P_2(112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----})}{112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----}}$

$3.716957[atm]=P_2$

It seems like the answer should have 4 significant figures since all of the other quantities have 4 significant figures, but the closest answer choice of those provided is a. 3.72
