Answer:

1) Temperature

When salts like KNO3, NANO3 and KCl are added in water the test tube ecomes cold, which means the heat is being absorbed. Solubility usually increases with increase in temperature for such solutes.

On the other hand, when salts like Li2SO4 and Ce2(SO4)3 are dissolved in water, test tube turns warm which indicates the heat is released. In such cases the solubility of salt decreases with increase in temperature.

In some cases,the heat is neither absorbed nor releasedwhen dissolved in water. When salts like NaCl is added in water, the temperature remains the same, and hence temperature has minimal effect on solubility.

2) Pressure

The solubility of solid and liquids aren't affected by pressure but the solubility of gas in a liquid is directly propotional to the pressure of gas. This is also explained through Henry's Law. i.e.

m ∝ P or m = KP

where "m" is the amount of gas dissolved.

Hope that helps, it might be a little too detailed and lenthy, but it explains everything you asked.

Explanation:

There are two direct factors that affect solubility: temperature and pressure. Temperature affects the solubility of both solids and gases, but pressure only affects the solubility of gases.

Determine the number of ions produced in the dissociation of the compound listed. AlF3

scoray [572]

Answer is: the number of ions produced in the dissociation of aluminium fluoride is 4.

Chemical dissociation of aluminium fluoride in water:
AlF₃(aq) → Al³⁺(aq) + 3F⁻(aq).
There are four ions, one aluminium cation and three fluoride anions.
Aluminium has oxidation +3, because it lost three electrons, to have electron configuration as noble gas neon and fluorine has oxidation -1, because it gain one electron to have electron configuration as noble gas neon.

Which atom or ion is the largest? A. K B. K+ C. Ca D. Ca2+ E. Li

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

A. K

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the trends in the Periodic Table:

Atomic radii decrease from left to right across a Period.
Atomic radii increase from top to bottom in a Group.
Ionic radii of metal cations are smaller than those of their atoms.

Thus, the largest atoms are in the lower left corner of the Periodic Table.

The diagram below shows that K is closest to the lower left, so it is the largest atom. It is also larger than any of the cations.

The closer an object is to the center of earth the ------------------ the gravitational force on that object

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Greater

Explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation, the force of gravitation is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and INDIRECTLY proportional to the square of the distance. In short, the bigger the masses, the stronger the gravitational force, the lesser the distance between the two objects, the greater the gravitational force.
