Answer:

This is an example of a food chain

Explanation:

Think of it as a chain reaction. The grass feeds and nourishes the prairie dog. Upon eating the prairie dog, the coyote gets the nutrients from both the grass the prairie dog ate and from the prairie dog itself.

The copper(I) ion forms a chloride salt (CuCl) that has Ksp = 1.2 x 10-6. Copper(I) also forms a complex ion with Cl-:Cu+ (aq) +

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: (a) The solubility of CuCl in pure water is $1.1 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

(b) The solubility of CuCl in 0.1 M NaCl is $9.5 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

Explanation:

(a) Chemical equation for the given reaction in pure water is as follows.

$CuCl(s) \rightarrow Cu^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)$

Initial: 0 0

Change: +x +x

Equilibm: x x

$K_{sp} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}$

And, equilibrium expression is as follows.

$K_{sp} = [Cu^{+}][Cl^{-}]$

$1.2 \times 10^{-6} = x \times x$

x = $1.1 \times 10^{-3} M$

Hence, the solubility of CuCl in pure water is $1.1 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

(b) When NaCl is 0.1 M,

$CuCl(s) \rightarrow Cu^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)$ , $K_{sp} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}$

$Cu^{+}(aq) + 2Cl^{-}(aq) \rightleftharpoons CuCl_{2}(aq)$ , $K = 8.7 \times 10^{4}$

Net equation: $CuCl(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow CuCl_{2}(aq)$

$K' = K_{sp} \times K$

= 0.1044

So for, $CuCl(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow CuCl_{2}(aq)$

Initial: 0.1 0

Change: -x +x

Equilibm: 0.1 - x x

Now, the equilibrium expression is as follows.

K' = $\frac{CuCl_{2}}{Cl^{-}}$

0.1044 = $\frac{x}{0.1 - x}$

x = $9.5 \times 10^{-3} M$

Therefore, the solubility of CuCl in 0.1 M NaCl is $9.5 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

Why does the chemical reaction seen here obey the law of conservation of matter?

ss7ja [257]

Why does the chemical reaction seen here obey the law of conservation of matter?

Answer:

Because there are the same number of atoms of each element shown on both sides

Explanation

As in chemical reactions, atoms bonds are break and new bonds are formed. As new substance are formed but overall they have same elements, no new elements come from outside or go to outside. In other words , rearrangement of atoms take place but number of atoms remained same.
