Particles are smaller, a reactant would be exposed to more cobalt atoms. Causing the reaction to happen quicker than with larger particles.
Answer:
2.2×10^8
Explanation:
Cu(OH)2(s)<---------> Cu^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) Ksp=2.2 x 10 ^-20
2H3O^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) <-------> 4H2O(l). Kw= 1×10^14
Cu^2+(aq) + 4H2O(l) <--------> [Cu(H2O)4]^2+(aq)
Overall ionic reaction:
Cu(OH)2(s) +2H3O^+(aq) <---------> [Cu(H20)4]^2+(aq)
Equilibrium constant for the reaction: Ksp×Kw= 2.2 x 10 ^-20 × (1/(1×10^-14))^2
Keq= 2.2×10^8
Kw= ion dissociation constant of water
Answer: X3+
Explanation:
Every atom aim to achieve stability by receiving electrons or giving their valence electrons in order to have a complete outermost shell of 2 (duplet) or 8 (octet structure).
In this case, the atom X will easily give off its three valence electrons to another atom(s), thereby forming a trivalent positive ion (X3+) with a stable duplet or octet structure (i.e an outermost shell with 2 or 8 electrons).
X --> X3+ + 3e-
Thus, due to the give away of three electrons (3e-), the atom X becomes X3+.
