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 box is sitting on a table. The upward force exerted on the box that stops it from falling through the table is known as the __
romanna [79]

It is know as the normal force.


When a solid is placed on a support, the latter exerts forces on the solid at each point of contact. These are forces that oppose the weight and prevent an object from falling.

This force is usually vertical and upward and often offsets the weight. If the solid is in equilibrium on the support the forces compensate the weight of the solid.

What was the Copernican revolution?
Zolol [24]

The Copernican revolution is about the model of the solar system and was given by a polish astronomer. Option C. The discovery that the universe was expanding.

The Copernican Revolution become the paradigm shift from the Ptolemaic model of the heavens, which described the cosmos as having Earth stationery on the center of the universe, to the heliocentric version with the solar on the center of the solar system.

Copernican Revolution, shift the subject of astronomy from a geocentric understanding of the universe, focused around Earth, to heliocentric knowledge, concentrated across the sun, as articulated by the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus.

This revolution changed the way of thinking of the solar system. Earlier it was thought that earth is in the center of the solar sysytem,i.e; people believed in the geocentric model, but according to Copernicus the solar system has the sun at the center and the remaining planets revolve around it i.e he believed in a heliocentric model.

Suggest a name for a compound containing potassium, carbon and oxygen.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Oxidation of potassium amalgam with carbon dioxide results in the formation of potassium oxalate. Potassium is not reactive with benzene, although heavier alkali metals such as cesium react to give organometallic products.
