Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When we look at SO3 we will notice that the compound is trigonal planar and it is symmetric. This means that it has equal charge distribution hence its dipoles cancel out resulting in a zero net dipole moment.

However, COH2 is also trigonal planar but is non-symmetric. Hence, its dipole moments do not cancel out, hence the molecule has a resultant dipole moment and is a polar molecule

Consider the reaction.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Note the signs of equilibrium:-

Reaction don't procede forward or backward
Concentration of products and reactants remains same .

Concentration of A is 2M then concentration of B should be same .

So equilibrium constant K is 1

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail K=\dfrac{[Products]^a}{[Reactants]^b}$

[B]=[A]^2
[B]=2^2
[B]=4M

Consider the following ionic compounds: CdCO3, Na2S, PbSO4, (NH4)3PO4, and Hg2Cl2. Which compounds will be soluble when added to

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Na2S, (NH4)3PO4

Explanation:

We can decide what compounds are soluble by considering the solubility rules that apply.

CdCO3 is not soluble in water because all carbonates are insoluble except those of ammonium, sodium and potassium.

Na2S is soluble in water because all sulphides are insoluble except those of sodium, potassium and ammonium.

PbSO4 is insoluble in water because all sulphates are soluble except those of lead and barium. The sulphate of calcium is only slightly soluble in water.

(NH4)3PO4 is soluble in water because all phosphates are insoluble except those of sodium, potassium and ammonium.

Hg2Cl2 is insoluble in water because all chlorides are soluble except those of lead, mercury II and silver.
