Calculate the molar solubility of mercury (I) bromide, Hg2Br2, in 1.0 M KBr. The Ksp for Hg2Br2 is 5.6 X 10−23. (Hint: How would

the Br− concentration from the sparingly soluble compound itself compare to the Br− concentration that comes from the KBr?

Answer:

The correct answer is 5.6 × 10⁻²³ M.

Explanation:

As a highly soluble salt, KBr dissolves easily in water, while Hg₂Br₂ is very less soluble in comparison to KBr.

Let the solubility of Hg₂Br₂ is S mol per liter.

Therefore,

KBr (s) (1.0 M) ⇒ K⁺ (aq) (1M) + Br⁻ (aq) (1M)

Hg₂Br₂ (s) (1-S) ⇔ Hg₂⁺ (aq) (S) + 2Br⁻ (aq) (2S)

Net [Br-] = (2S + 1) M

Ksp = S (2S + 1)²

Ksp = S (4S² + 1 + 4S)

Ksp = 4S³ + S + 4S²

As the solubility is extremely less, therefore, we can ignore S² and S³. Now,

Ksp = S = 5.6 × 10⁻²³ M

Hence, the solubility of Hg₂Br₂ is 5.6 × 10⁻²³ M.

Which noble gas will Selenium try to resemble when it becomes an ION?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Krypton

Explanation:

When Selenium forms an ion, it is trying to become krypton which is a noble gas.

Selenium belongs to the oxygen group on the periodic table. In this group, the atoms prefers to gain two electrons to complete their octet. When selenium gains two electrons, its octet is complete.

This will make the atom resemble krypton on the periodic table of elements.

This structure which is an octet confers a special stability on the element.

How many grams of NaCl are required to make 150.0 mL of a 5.000 m solution
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The  grams   of NaCl  that are required  to  make  150.0 ml of  a  5.000 M  solution is  43.875 g


calculation

Step 1:calculate  the  number of moles

moles =  molarity  x volume  in L

volume  = 150 ml / 1000 = 0.15 L

= 0.15 L  x 5.000  M  = 0.75  moles

Step 2:  calculate mass

mass =  moles x  molar mass

molar mass  of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 mol /L


mass is therefore =0.75  moles  x 58.5  mol /l =43.875 g
