The relation between stability and solubility​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex17521 [72]3 years ago
3 0

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.

"survival of the fittest" best means that an organism is​
Nat2105 [25]

The answer is: Survival of the form that will leave the most copies of itself in successive generations.

"Survival of the fittest" is a phrase that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory.

This is example of natural selection and adaptation.

Genetic variation is important to the population's ability to survive in different situations that affect natural selection.  

The environment is constantly changing and different alleles are favored.

How many grams of water are made from the reaction of 4.0 grams of hydrogen gas with the given reaction 2H2+O2--->2H2O
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The mass of water is 36 g.

Explanation:

Mass of hydrogen = 4 g

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

First of all we will write the balance chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂  →  2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of hydrogen = 4 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles of hydrogen = 2 mol

Now we compare the moles of water with hydrogen from balance chemical equation.

                               H₂     :     H₂O

                                2      :       2

Mass of water = moles × molar mass

Mass of water =  2 mol × 18 g/mol

Mass of water =  36 g

If the water oxygen is in excess than mass of water would be 36 g.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas at room temperature and pressure. However, carbon dioxide can be put under pressure to become a "s
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The mass of this 25 mL supercritical CO2 sample has a mass of 11.7g

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

The supercritical CO2 has a density of 0.469 g/cm³ (or 0.469 g/mL)

The sample hasa volume of 25.0 mL

Step 2: Calculating mass of the sample

The density is the mass per amount of volume

0.469g/cm³ = 0.469g/ml

The mass for a sample of 25.0 mL = 0.469g/mL * 25.0 mL = 11.725g ≈ 11.7g

The mass of this 25 mL supercritical CO2 sample has a mass of 11.7g

How Many Moles Of HCl Need To Be Added To 150.0 ML Of 0.50 M NaZ To Have A Solution With A PH Of 6.50
Aleks04 [339]

The number of mole of HCl needed for the solution is 1.035×10¯³ mole

<h3>How to determine the pKa</h3>

We'll begin by calculating the pKa of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

  • Equilibrium constant (Ka) = 2.3×10¯⁵
  • pKa =?

pKa = –Log Ka

pKa = –Log 2.3×10¯⁵

pKa = 4.64

<h3>How to determine the molarity of HCl </h3>
  • pKa = 4.64
  • pH = 6.5
  • Molarity of salt [NaZ] = 0.5 M
  • Molarity of HCl [HCl] =?

pH = pKa + Log[salt]/[acid]

6.5 = 4.64 + Log[0.5]/[HCl]

Collect like terms

6.5 – 4.64 = Log[0.5]/[HCl]

1.86 = Log[0.5]/[HCl]

Take the anti-log

0.5 / [HCl] = anti-log 1.86

0.5 / [HCl] = 72.44

Cross multiply

0.5 = [HCl] × 72.44

Divide both side by 72.44

[HCl] = 0.5 / 72.4

[HCl] = 0.0069 M

<h3>How to determine the mole of HCl </h3>
  • Molarity of HCl = 0.0069 M
  • Volume = 150 mL = 150 / 1000 = 0.15 L
  • Mole of HCl =?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of HCl = 0.0069 × 0.15

Mole of HCl = 1.035×10¯³ mole

<h3>Complete question</h3>

How many moles of HCl need to be added to 150.0 mL of 0.50 M NaZ to have a solution with a pH of 6.50? (Ka of HZ is 2.3 x 10 -5 .) Assume negligible volume of the HCl
