A saturated solution of copper (II) hydroxide is prepared in a beaker by adding the solid to water and stirring. When the soluti

on is
prepared, crystals of copper (ll) hydroxide remain on the bottom of the beaker.

Which change will cause the molar solubility of copper (II) hydroxide to increase?

A)addition of solid copper chloride

B)

addition of solid sodium hydroxide

C)

addition of aqueous hydrochloric acid

D)

dilution of the solution by addition of water

Answer:

addition of aqueous hydrochloric acid

Explanation:

The solubility of copper (ll) hydroxide in water is negligible. This implies that the substance is only slightly soluble in water.

However, the addition of aqueous hydrochloric acid leads to the following reaction;

Cu(OH)2 + 2HCl ---------> CuCl2 + 2H2O

Copper II chloride is soluble in water hence the crystals dissolve when stirred. and the molar solubility increases.

total kinetic energy of all the atoms that make up a sample of matter, would that be heat or mechanical????

Yuki888 [10]

Generally speaking mechanical energy is energy which physically moves (the object), while the thermal energy is energy from the movement of atoms.
Basically temperature is a measurement of atomic movement (doesn't move object as a whole).
Hence heat.

Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is primarily dissolved CO2. Dissolved CO2 satisfies the equilibri

lorasvet [3.4K]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

$CO_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq) + HCO^{-}_{3}(aq)$

Calculate the amount of $CO_{2}$ dissolved as follows.

$CO_{2}(aq) = K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}$

It is given that $K_{CO_{2}}$ = 0.032 M/atm and $P_{CO_{2}}$ = $1.9 \times 10^{-4}$ atm.

Hence, $[CO_{2}]$ will be calculated as follows.

$[CO_{2}]$ = $K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}$

= $0.032 M/atm \times 1.9 \times 10^{-4}atm$

= $0.0608 \times 10^{-4}$

or, = $0.608 \times 10^{-5}$

It is given that $K_{a} = 4.46 \times 10^{-7}$

As, $K_{a} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{[CO_{2}]}$

$4.46 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{0.608 \times 10^{-5}}$

$[H^{+}]^{2}$ = $2.71 \times 10^{-12}$

$[H^{+}]$ = $1.64 \times 10^{-6}$

Since, we know that pH = $-log [H^{+}]$

So, pH = $-log (1.64 \times 10^{-6})$

= 5.7

Therefore, we can conclude that pH of water in equilibrium with the atmosphere is 5.7.

ELEN [110]

Answer: Democritus atomic theory is the ancient theory that describes the nature of matter in terms of atoms whereas Dalton atomic theory is a modern scientific theory that describes the nature of matter in terms of atoms. According to Dalton's theory, atoms are identically same, but Democritus had no idea about it. Atoms are never created nor destroyed, they just rearrange.
