Answer:
The correct answer is Sugar has a greater solubility than sand.
Sugar will easily dissolve in water because it has a lower density than sand, therefore it has a greater solubility.
Answer:
The order of solubility is AgBr < Ag₂CO₃ < AgCl
Explanation:
The solubility constant give us the molar solubilty of ionic compounds. In general for a compound AB the ksp will be given by:
Ksp = (A) (B) where A and B are the molar solubilities = s² (for compounds with 1:1 ratio).
It follows then that the higher the value of Ksp the greater solubilty of the compound if we are comparing compounds with the same ionic ratios:
Comparing AgBr: Ksp = 5.4 x 10⁻¹³ with AgCl: Ksp = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰, AgCl will be more soluble.
Comparing Ag2CO3: Ksp = 8.0 x 10⁻¹² with AgCl Ksp = AgCl: Ksp = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰ we have the complication of the ratio of ions 2:1 in Ag2CO3, so the answer is not obvious. But since we know that
Ag2CO3 ⇄ 2 Ag⁺ + CO₃²₋
Ksp Ag2CO3 = 2s x s = 2 s² = 8.0 x 10-12
s = 4 x 10⁻12 ∴ s= 2 x 10⁻⁶
And for AgCl
AgCl ⇄ Ag⁺ + Cl⁻
Ksp = s² = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰ ∴ s = √ 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰ = 1.3 x 10⁻⁵
Therefore, AgCl is more soluble than Ag₂CO₃
The order of solubility is AgBr < Ag₂CO₃ < AgCl
Silver and lead are special elements, where silver is insoluble in all halogen anions (like AgCl, AgI, AgBr)
and lead is insoluble in sulphates and halogen anions ( PbSO4, PbCl2, etc.)
Mercury is special because it is the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature
hope this helps!!
Answer:
The Correct increasing order of solubility is O2 < Br2 < LiCl < Methanol (CH3OH)
Explanation:
Solubility of compounds or molecules are solely dependent on its inter molecular forces or bonding present in them.
Molecules with Hydrogen bonding usually very soluble in water. Ionic compounds are also very soluble in water because they form ions in solutions. Molecules that possess van der waal forces are usually insoluble in water because they are non-polar.
- O2 (oxygen gas) and Br2 (bromine gas) have van der waal forces in them. Van der waal forces are stronger in Br2 (bromine gas) than O2 (oxygen gas) because Br2 has more number of electrons.
- LiCl is ionic in nature which makes it dissolve in water readily. it easily forms its ions (Li+ and Cl- ) in solutions.
- Methanol (CH3OH) has the highest solubility in water compared to LiCl, Br2 and O2 because it contains Hydrogen bonding which is strongest of all inter molecular forces.
