The generic metal hydroxide M(OH)2 has Ksp = 8.05×10−12. (NOTE: In this particular problem, because of the magnitude of the Ksp

and the stoichiometry of the compound, the contribution of OH− from water can be ignored. However, this may not always be the case.)
a) What is the solubility of M(OH)2 in pure water?
b) What is the solubility of M(OH)2 in a 0.202 M solution of M(NO3)2?

Answer:

a. in pure water Solubility (x) = 1.26 x 10⁻⁴M

b. in 0.202M M⁺² Solubility (x) = 9.963 x 10⁻¹²M

The large drop in solubility is consistent with the common ion effect.

Explanation:

a. Solubility in pure water

Given:       M(OH)₂ ⇄ M⁺² + 2OH⁻

            I       ---            0          0

           C      ---             x          2x

           E       ---            x           2x

Ksp = [M⁺²][OH⁻]² = (x)(2x)² = 4x³ => x = CubeRt(Ksp/4)

solubility in pure water = x = CubeRt(8.05 x 10⁻¹²/4) = 1.26 x 10⁻⁴M

b. Solubility in presence of 0.202M M⁺² as common ion.

Given:       M(OH)₂ ⇄       M⁺²      +     2OH⁻

            I       ---            0.202M              0

           C      ---                 +x                 +2x

           E       ---           0.202M + x         2x

                                   ≈ 0.202M

Ksp = [M⁺²][2x]² = (0.202)(2x)² = (0.202)(4x²) = 8.05 x 10⁻¹²

=> x = (8.05 x 10⁻¹²)/(0.202)(4) = 9.963 x 10⁻¹²M

Which phrase best discribes wave motion
kap26 [50]

Answer:

propagation of disturbances—that is, deviations from a state of rest or equilibrium—from place to place in a regular and organized way. Most familiar are surface waves on water, but both sound and light travel as wavelike disturbances, and the motion of all subatomic particles exhibits wavelike properties.

Maru [420]

Answer:

loose hair, flammable clothing, and all stored chemicals especially flammable liquids., should be kept away from heat.

A fire blanket is a highly flame-resistant blanket that can be used to extinguish a small fire or to wrap around a person in case of a fire and water helps put it out too.

How long is a red blood cell
Lera25 [3.4K]
I suspect this question should read "How long does a red blood cell live." A red blood cell lives for between 100 and 120 days. It takes 7 days for a new red blood cell to develop from stem cells. Stem cells are similar to base cells. They can also be seen as a general template from which specialized cells are made. Stem cells can be taken from a newborn baby's umbilical chord or extracted from an adult blood donor's blood.This
