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.

When ice melts, how does the liquid water compare to the ice?
Temka [501]
The molecules are more loose and not as compact and bonded together by hydrogen bonds as solids. Liquid water also has an indefinite shape meaning it can shift into anything

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

endothermic reaction

Explanation:

It simply means that you are witnessing<u> an endothermic reaction</u>.

An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs heat energy from its surrounding, thereby leaving the reaction vessel with a lower temperature as compared to before the reaction.

It is as opposed to exothermic reactions which are reactions that give off energy in the form of heat to the surrounding, thereby leaving a reaction vessel warmer than before the reaction.

<em>In this case, the formation of ice crystals outside the test tube means that heat energy has been absorbed by the reaction which leaves the vessel a temperature cold enough to activate the formation of ice. </em>
