Answer: Some atoms of the same elements that have different atomic masses are called isotopes

Explanation:

so the atoms are the same element but different in mass. Since the isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons the isotopes have much the same chemical behavior. Since the isotopes have different numbers of neutrons the nuclear behavior differs.

Calculate the molar solubility of fe(oh)2 in pure water. (the value of ksp for fe(oh)2 is 4.87×10−17.)

rosijanka [135]

When we have this balanced equation for a reaction:
Fe(OH)2(s) ↔ Fe+2 + 2OH-

when Fe(OH)2 give 1 mole of Fe+2 & 2 mol of OH-
so we can assume [Fe+2] = X and [OH-] = 2 X
when Ksp = [Fe+2][OH-]^2
and have Ksp = 4.87x10^-17
[Fe+2]= X
[OH-] = 2X
so by substitution
4.87x10^-17 = X*(2X)^2
∴X^3 = 4.8x10^-17 / 4
∴the molar solubility X = 2.3x10^-6 M
