How could you “supersaturate” solutions, exceeding the amount of dissolved solute possible

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bingel [31]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

In a saturated solution, more solute cannot be dissolved at a given temperature.

This is because, the solute dissolves in a solvent because of space between particles of solvent but on continuous addition of solute, the space between the solvent particles gets fulfilled. Thus no more solute particle can dissolve in a solvent.

Ammonium cyanide is a salt formed by hydrogen cyanide and ammonia. Ammonia is a weak base and hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid. 
NH₄CN + H₂O ⇒ NH₃ + HCN 

NH₄⁺ + H₂O -----> H₃O⁺ + NH₃

CN⁻ + H₂O -----> HCN + OH⁻ 

Although both compounds are weak electrolytes, NH₃ is somewhat stronger base than HCN is a strong acid, so the solution reacts alkaline. We can prove this using Ka and Kb values:

Ka(HCN) = 4.9 x × 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(NH₃) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵<span>
Kw= </span>1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

Let's first calculate Ka for NH₄⁺: 
Ka(NH₄⁺) x Kb(NH₃<span>) = pKw

</span>Ka(NH₄⁺) = Kw/Kb(NH₃) = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

Then, Kb for CN⁻:

Kb(CN⁻) x Ka(HCN) = pKw

Kb(CN⁻) = Kw/Ka(HCN) = 2 x 10⁻⁵

 
From this, we can see that the acid constant NH4⁺ is much lower than the base constant of CN⁻, which will say that the solution of NH₄CN will react slightly alkaline because of the higher presence of hydroxyl ions in solution.

Given the following equilibrium constants: Kb B(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ HB+(aq) + OH−(aq) 1/Kw H+(aq) + OH−(aq) ⇌ H2O(l) What is the equi

<u>Answer:</u> The value of K_c for the net reaction is \frac{K_b}{K_w}

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical equations follows:

<u>Equation 1:</u>  B(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons HB^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.);K_b

<u>Equation 2:</u>  H^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.)\rightleftharpoons H_2O(l);\frac{1}{K_w}

The net equation follows:

B(aq.)+H^+(aq.)\rightleftharpoons HB^+(aq.);K_c

As, the net reaction is the result of the addition of first equation and the second equation. So, the equilibrium constant for the net reaction will be the multiplication of first equilibrium constant and the second equilibrium constant.

The value of equilibrium constant for net reaction is:

K_c=K_1\times K_2

We are given:  

K_1=K_b

K_2=\frac{1}{K_w}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

K_c=K_b\times \frac{1}{K_w}=\frac{K_b}{K_w}

Hence, the value of K_c for the net reaction is \frac{K_b}{K_w}

Why can water pass through sandstrone but not through shale
Valentin [98]
It really depends on the 'type' of rock it is. By this I mean whether it's impermeable or permeable. Impermeable rocks don't allow water through and permeable rocks do. It has to do with how 'porous' a rock is: how many openings it has and how spaced apart are its particles are. Sandstone is permeable and Shale impermeable.
