i. The dissolution of PbSO₄ in water entails its ionizing into its constituent ions:

\mathrm{PbSO_{4}}(aq) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Pb^{2+}}(aq)+\mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}(aq).

---

ii. Given the dissolution of some substance

xA{(s)} \rightleftharpoons yB{(aq)} + zC{(aq)},

the Ksp, or the solubility product constant, of the preceding equation takes the general form

K_{sp} = [B]^y [C]^z.

The concentrations of pure solids (like substance A) and liquids are excluded from the equilibrium expression.

So, given our dissociation equation in question i., our Ksp expression would be written as:

K_{sp} = \mathrm{[Pb^{2+}] [SO_4^{2-}]}.

---

iii. Presumably, what we're being asked for here is the <em>molar </em>solubility of PbSO4 (at the standard 25 °C, as Ksp is temperature dependent). We have all the information needed to calculate the molar solubility. Since the Ksp tells us the ratio of equilibrium concentrations of PbSO4 in solution, we can consider either [Pb2+] or [SO4^2-] as equivalent to our molar solubility (since the concentration of either ion is the extent to which solid PbSO4 will dissociate or dissolve in water).

We know that Ksp = [Pb2+][SO4^2-], and we are given the value of the Ksp of for PbSO4 as 1.3 × 10⁻⁸. Since the molar ratio between the two ions are the same, we can use an equivalent variable to represent both:

1.3 \times 10^{-8} = s \times s = s^2 \\s = \sqrt{1.3 \times 10^{-8}} = 1.14 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol/L}.

So, the molar solubility of PbSO4 is 1.1 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L. The answer is given to two significant figures since the Ksp is given to two significant figures.

To prepare an acetic acid/acetate buffer, a technician mixes 30.6 mL of 0.0880 acetic acid and 21.6 mL of 0.110 sodium acetate i
enyata [817]

Answer: There are 0.00269 moles of acetic acid in buffer.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution in ml}}     .....(1)

Molarity of acetic acid solution = 0.0880 M

Volume of solution = 30.6 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0880M=\frac{\text{Moles of acetic acid}\times 1000}{30.6ml}\\\\\text{Moles of acetic acid}=\frac{0.0880\times 30.6}{1000}=0.00269mol

Thus there are 0.00269 moles of acetic acid in buffer.

What can be said about a reaction with H = 62.4 kJ/mol and S = 0.145 kJ/(mol·K)?
Zigmanuir [339]
Answer:

At 430.34 K the reaction will be at equilibrium, at  T > 430.34 the reaction will be spontaneous, and at T < 430.4K the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

Explanation:

1) Variables:

G = Gibbs energy
H = enthalpy
S = entropy

2) Formula (definition)

G = H + TS

=> ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

3) conditions

ΔG < 0 => spontaneous reaction
ΔG = 0 => equilibrium
ΔG > 0 non espontaneous reaction

4) Assuming the data given correspond to ΔH and ΔS

ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS = 62.4 kJ/mol + T 0.145 kJ / mol * K

=>  T = [ΔH - ΔG] / ΔS

ΔG = 0 =>  T = [ 62.4 kJ/mol - 0 ] / 0.145 kJ/mol*K = 430.34K

This is, at 430.34 K the reaction will be at equilibrium, at  T > 430.34 the reaction will be spontaneous, and at T < 430.4K the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

The standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always:_________
sattari [20]

Answer: The standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always positive.

Explanation:

Electrolytic cells use electric currents to drive a non-spontaneous reaction forward.

Relation of standard free energy change and emf of cell

\Delta G^o=-nFE^0_{cell}

where,

\Delta G^o = standard free energy change

  n= no of electrons gained or lost

F= faraday's constant

E^0_{cell} = standard emf

E^0_{cell}   = standard emf = -ve  , for non spontaneous reaction

Thus  \Delta G^o=(-ve)(-ve)=+ve

Thus standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always positive.
