Which of the following salts are more soluble in acidic solution than in pure water?

1 answer:

7 0

One way to look at it is to determine whether the compound is acidic or basic. basic compounds will dissolve more easily in acid

A) Al(OH)3 is the hydroxide of a metal and this is basic. hence this will dissolve better in acid than pure water ( in fact Al(OH)3 is amphoteric meaning it can dissolve in both acid and base)

B) BaF2 is the salt of a strong base Ba(OH)2 and weak acid HF, hence the nature of BaF2 is slightly basic, this will dissolve better in acidic solution

C) PbCl2 is the salt of weak base Pb(OH)2 and strong acid HCl, hence the nature of PbCl2 is slightly acidic, it won’t be more soluble in acidic solution

D) Hg2Br2 is the salt of weak base Hg2(OH)2 and strong acid HBr. the nature of Hg2Br2 is acidic hence, it wont dissolve better in acidic solution

E) NiS is the salt of a very weak base Ni(OH)2 hence this NiS will be acidic in nature nd wont dissolve in acidic solution

F) AgI is the salt of a very strong acid HI and weak base AgOH. nature will be acidic and wont dissolve in acidic solution

in conclusion only Al(OH)3 and BaF2 are more soluble in acidic solution than in pure water as both are slightly basic

In separating mixtures is it an advantage or a disadvantage?

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Purpose: To become familiar with the techniques for separation of amixture of solids.

Explanation:

a mixture of pure substances. If you have a mixture of tennis ballsand marbles (not pure substances by the way), it would be easy toseparate the mixture. However, it is more difficult to separate asand (also not a pure substance) and salt mixture. Even with verygood tweezers and a magnifying glass, it would be extremelytedious. You could take advantage of the fact that salt dissolvesin water and sand does not. To separate iron powder from an ironand sand mixture you can take advantage of the magnetic propertiesof iron and separate the mixture.

To summarize a complete procedure for separating a mixture ofseveral substances, it is best to prepare a flow chart. A flowchartis a schematic representation of an algorithm or a stepwiseprocess, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and theirorder by connecting these with arrows. Flowcharts are used indesigning or documenting a process.

When an arrhenius base is placed in h20 the only negative ion present in the solution is?

melamori03 [73]

According to Arrhenius theory of acid and base, Acids are those substances which when dissolved in water produces protons, while, Bases are those substances which when dissolved in water produces Hydroxyl Ions.

Example of Arrhenius Bases:

NaOH ₍s₎ → Na⁺ ₍aq₎ + ⁻OH ₍aq₎

LiOH ₍s₎ → Li⁺ ₍aq₎ + ⁻OH ₍aq₎
Result:
The only negative ion produced in water when Arrhenius Base is dissolved is ⁻OH (Hydroxyl Ion).
