The relation between stability and solubility​

Chemistry

Answer:

2

Nobody is able to foresee the solubility of a product. There are some experimental rules, but they all have exceptions, that nobody is able to explain.

Just have a look on the Calcium salts made with the halogens (F, Cl, Br, I). There is a nice analogy among Cl, Br and I, but not F. Look ! The Calcium chloride CaCl2, bromide CaBr2 and iodide CaI2 are all extremely soluble in water. They are all soluble in less than their weight of water. But calcium fluoride CaF2 is among the least soluble product on Earth. The principal mineral for Fluoride is CaF2, and it can be found everywhere at the surface of the Earth. If this mineral would have been at least a little soluble in water, the rains would have washed away this mineral in the geological times. Why is there such a huge difference between calcium fluoride and the other halogenides ? Nobody knows !

Another example. Potassium perchlorate is the only potassium salt which is very weakly soluble in water. By comparison, Sodium perchlorate is extremely soluble in water. Why? Another example: the number of Silver compounds which are soluble in water is limited. In organic solvents, it is even worse. But the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics says that Silver perchlorate is soluble in toluene. Why? Nobody knows.

From time to time there are articles published in journals like the Journal of Chemical Education. The author is proud of displaying a theory filled with new parameters, for explaining the solubility of quite a lot of chemicals. But there are always exceptions, that he regrets not to be able to explain.

How many grams of NaCl are needed to make 0.800 liter of a 5.00 M solution?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

             0.324 g is required to make 5.00 M solution of NaCl in 0.800 L.

Given data:

                 Molarity = 5.00 M

                 Formula Mass = 58.5 g/mol

                 Required volume = 0.800 L

To Find;

               Mass in gram = ?

Solution:

              Formula for calculating mass in gram is given as,

              Mass in gram = Molarity × Formula mass × Volume required / 1000 putting values

              Mass in gram = 5.00 M × 58.5 g/mol × 0.800 L / 1000

               Mass in gram = 0.234 g

Why is unit of pressure called a derived unit ?? 2) how do you measure the volume of milk?<br>​
trasher [3.6K]

1. Unit of pressure called a derived unit because it is a combination of base units (kg·m^-1·s^·2).

2. We measure the volume of milk by a instrument called Milk Lactometer.

The net charge on a sulfide ion (s2-) is -2. explain how this ion obtains its charge
Anestetic [448]
Sulfur is a group six element in period 3 with atomic number 16 and an electronic configuration of 2:8:6. Therefore, to attain a stable configuration it requires to gain two electrons forming an ion with a charge of -2. The negative charge is due to the gaining of electrons.

2 CuCl2 + 4 KI → 2 CuI + 4 KCl + I2
Margaret [11]

Answer: 6.75 moles

Explanation:

This is a simple stoichiometry proboe. that I would set up like this:

(13.5 moles CuCI2) (1 mol I2 / 2 moles CuCi2)

That means you all you have to do for this problem is divide by 2 and cancel out the unit moles CuCI2, which leaves you with 6.75 moles I2.

Hope this helps :)
