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.

See detailed explanation.

Explanation:

Hello!

i. In this case, since the given chemical reaction is exothermic due to the negative change in the enthalpy of reaction, we infer that according to the mentioned principle, by lowering the temperature the reaction will shift rightwards and therefore the yield is increased; thus, you need a lower temperature than the specified.

ii. In this case, since the reaction has less moles at the products side, according to the mentioned principle it'd be necessary to rise the pressure in order to increase the yield, since the increase of pressure favors the reaction side with the fewest number of moles.

Best regards!

PLEASE SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THIS :(((

Answer:

\boxed{ \sf \: R_f  \: value \: of \: sample \: 1 =0.3142}

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

In Analytical Chemistry chromatography is widely used for the separation of samples.

  • In thin layer chromatography, the mixture of components are separated on the basis of their polarity.
  • The solvent solution(mobile phase) that we use are non polar & silica gel( TLC paper made of/stationary phase) are polar.
  • Consider the mixture we have taken consist of two samples having large polar difference.
  • Due to opposite nature of silica gel(polar) & solvent solution (non polar) the movement become easy & due to capillary action solvent solution rise to the top.
  • The mixture of sample we have taken, the sample have less polarity have high peak or they travel more distance than that of more polar sample when they dipped into the solution.

In the given diagram, mixture of 8 samples are separated on the basis of their polarity, the distance travelled by solvent is 35 mm, distance travelled by sample 1 is 11 mm & similarly distance travelled by sample 2,3,4,5,6,7 are 15,31,4,22,25,33 in mm respectively.

Rf Value: Rf value is retention factor which tells about relative absorption of each sample & range of Rf value is 0-1.

Formula to calculate Rf value is

\sf R_f  \: value = \frac{distance \: moved \: by \: sample}{distance \: moved \: by \: solvent}

Now, solving for Rf value of sample 1

<em>Given:</em>

Distance moved by sample 1 = 11 mm

Distance movedby solvent = 35 mm

<em>To find:</em>

Rf value of sample 1 = ?

<em>Solution:</em>

Substituting the given data in above formula,

\small \sf R_f  \: value = \frac{distance \: moved \: by \: sample \: 1}{distance \: moved \: by \: solvent}   \\  \small \sf R_f  \: value =  \cancel\frac{11  \: mm}{35 \:  mm}  = 0.3142

\small \boxed{ \sf \: R_f  \: value \: of \: sample \: 1 =0.3142}
