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.

A 2.5 L flask is filled with 0.25 atm SO3, 0.20 atm SO2, and 0.40 atm O2, and allowed to reach equilibrium. Assume at the temper
Anit [1.1K]

Explanation:

Reaction equation for the given chemical reaction is as follows.

      2SO_{3} \rightleftharpoons 2SO_{2} + O_{2}

Equation for reaction quotient is as follows.

         Q = \frac{P^{2}_{SO_{2}} \times P_{O_{2}}}{P^{2}_{SO_{3}}}

             = \frac{(0.20)^{2} \times 0.40}{(0.25)^{2}}

             = 0.256

As, Q > K (= 0.12)

The effect on the partial pressure of SO_{3} as equilibrium is achieved by using Q, is as follows.

  • This means that there are too much products.
  • Equilibrium will shift to the left towards reactants.
  • More SO_{3} is formed.
  • Partial pressure of SO_{3} increases.

(multiple choice) What is the SI unit of mass?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Gram

Explanation:

The SI unit of mass is grams.

Mass is the measure of matter contained in a substance. It is usually determined by weighing an amount of substance on a balance or scale.

  • Mass is a fundamental quantity
  • So, the unit of mass is grams.
  • Ounce and pounds are other units but not the standard one.
  • Newton is the unit of force and weight.
