A sample of Cd(OH)2 is added to pure water and allowed to come to equilibrium at 25ºC. The concentration of Cd +2 = 1.7 x 10 -5M

at equilibrium. Calculate Ksp.

Answer:

Ksp=2.0x10^{-14}

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, given the solubilization of cadmium (II) hydroxide:

Cd(OH)_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Cd^{2+}(aq)+2OH^-(aq)

The solubility product can be set up as follows:

Ksp=[Cd^{2+}][OH^-]^2

Now, since we know the concentration of cadmium (II) ions at equilibrium and the mole ratio of these ions to the hydroxide ions is 1:2, we infer that the concentration of the latter at equilibrium is 3.5x10⁻⁵ M. In such a way, the resulting Ksp turns out to be:

Ksp=(1.7x10^{-5})(3.4x10^{-5})^2\\\\Ksp=2.0x10^{-14}

Regards!

Which of the following processes would you predict to have an increase in entropy?
Anna [14]
C. Melting ice. 
It is C because melting ice is a change of state from solid to liquid which requires an addition of energy(or entropy) into the system.
Condensation of water occurs from a gas to a liquid state, which takes energy out of the system(water) and gives it to the surroundings(air around it). Freezing water is the same as condensation except for the state change. Deposition is simply gas to a solid instantaneously so you can again see it as with the other two examples.

The majority of the elements essential to life are found in what part of the periodic table?
IRINA_888 [86]
The rows in the top third - This group consists of elements like Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium on the right and Chlorine, Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen on the left.
Sodium and Chlorine are components of salt, a very important compound of our blood, essential for transferring electrical signals from the brain to the rest of the body and vice versa. Calcium is the building block of our bones, while Magnesium and potassium ensure proper functioning of our organs.
