Answer:

Due to presence of a triple bond between the two N−atoms, the bond dissociation enthalpy (941.4 kJ mol

−1

) is very high. Hence, N

is the least reactive.

Solid NaI is slowly added to a solution that is 0.0079 M Cu+ and 0.0087 M Ag+.Which compound will begin to precipitate first?NaI

NeTakaya

Answer :

AgI should precipitate first.

The concentration of $Ag^+$ when CuI just begins to precipitate is, $6.64\times 10^{-7}M$

Percent of $Ag^+$ remains is, 0.0076 %

Explanation :

$K_{sp}$ for CuI is $1\times 10^{-12}$

$K_{sp}$ for AgI is $8.3\times 10^{-17}$

As we know that these two salts would both dissociate in the same way. So, we can say that as the Ksp value of AgI has a smaller than CuI then AgI should precipitate first.

Now we have to calculate the concentration of iodide ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$CuI\rightleftharpoons Cu^++I^-$

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Cu^+][I^-]$

$1\times 10^{-12}=0.0079\times [I^-]$

$[I^-]=1.25\times 10^{-10}M$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of silver ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$AgI\rightleftharpoons Ag^++I^-$

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Ag^+][I^-]$

$8.3\times 10^{-17}=[Ag^+]\times 1.25\times 10^{-10}M$

$[Ag^+]=6.64\times 10^{-7}M$

Now we have to calculate the percent of $Ag^+$ remains in solution at this point.

Percent of $Ag^+$ remains = $\frac{6.64\times 10^{-7}}{0.0087}\times 100$

Percent of $Ag^+$ remains = 0.0076 %

Compare and contrast reflecting and refracting telescopes. *

Alinara [238K]

A refracting telescope uses convex lenses to gather a large amount of light and focus it onto a small area while a reflecting telescope the mirror instead of an objective lens they are also similar because like the lenses in a refracting telescope the mirror in a reflecting telescope focuses a large amount of light onto a small area.

A first-order reaction (A → B) has a half-life of 25 minutes. If the initial concentration of A is 0.900 M, what is the concentr

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

0.6749 M is the concentration of B after 50 minutes.

Explanation:

A → B

Half life of the reaction = $t_{1/2}=25 minutes$
