With that informatio you can:

1) Write the chemical equation
2) Balance the chemical equation
3) State the molar ratios
4) Predict if precipitation occurs.

I will do all four, for you:

1) Chemical equation:

mercury(I) nitrate  potassium bromide    mercury(I) bromide  potassium nitrate
<span>Hg2(NO3)2             +        KBr                   → Hg2Br2          +      KNO<span>3

2) Balanced chemical equation
</span></span>
<span>Hg2(NO3)2 + 2KBr → Hg2Br2 + 2KNO<span>3

3) Molar ratios or proportions:

1 mol </span></span><span>Hg2(NO3)2 : 2 mol KBr : 1 mol Hg2Br2 : 2 mol KNO<span>3

4) Prediction of precipitation.

You can use the solubility rules or a table of solubilities. I found in a table of solutiblities that mercury(I) bromide is insoluble and potassium bromide is soluble, Then you can predict that the precipitation of mercury(I) bromide will occur.

It is logical to conclude that water cannot dissolve vegetable oil because the oil is
Gekata [30.6K]
In chemistry, there is a common note that says, "Like dissolves like".

This pertains to the concept that polar substances can dissolve only other polar substances. Also, nonpolar substances are also only able to dissolve nonpolar substances. 

Polarity of the substance depends primarily on the type of bond and the difference in electronegativity. 

Water is a polar substance while vegetable oil is not. From the concept presented above, it may be concluded that water will not be able to dissolve the vegetable oil and the assumption is logical.

The solubility product constant of pbcl2 is 1.7 × 10−5 . what is the maximum concentration of pb2+ that can be in ocean water th
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Answer is: the maximum concentration of Pb²⁺ is 6.8·10⁻³ M.
Chemical reaction 1: PbCl₂(s) → Pb²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).
Chemical reaction 2: NaCl(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).
Ksp(PbCl₂) = 1.7·10⁻⁵.
c(NaCl) = c(Cl⁻) = 0.0500 M.
Ksp(PbCl₂) = c(Pb²⁺) · c(Cl⁻)².
c(Pb²⁺) = Ksp(PbCl₂) ÷ c(Cl⁻)².
c(Pb²⁺) = 1.7·10⁻⁵ M³ ÷ (0.0500 M)².
c(Pb²⁺) = 0.000017 M³ ÷ 0.0025 M².
c(Pb²⁺) = 0.0068 M = 6.8·10⁻³ M.

An atom has 14 protons, 16 neutrons, and 14 electrons. What is its mass number?
Andrews [41]

The answer is 30.

Explanation:

The total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus is called mass number. So 14 proton plus 16 neutron is = 30 mass number.
