Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- Use the solubility product constant from Appendix F to determine whether a precipitate will form if 10.0 mL of 1.0 106 M iron(II) chloride is added to 20.0 mL of 3.0 104 M barium hydroxide.arrow_forwardBecause calcium carbonate is a sink for CO32- in a lake, the student in Exercise 12.39 decides to go a step further and examine the equilibrium between carbonate ion and CaCOj. The reaction is Ca2+(aq) + COj2_(aq) ** CaCO,(s) The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 2.1 X 10*. If the initial calcium ion concentration is 0.02 AI and the carbonate concentration is 0.03 AI, what are the equilibrium concentrations of the ions? A student is simulating the carbonic acid—hydrogen carbonate equilibrium in a lake: H2COj(aq) H+(aq) + HCO}‘(aq) K = 4.4 X 10"7 She starts with 0.1000 AI carbonic acid. What are the concentrations of all species at equilibrium?arrow_forwardThe ore cinnabar (HgS) is an important source of mercury. Cinnabar is a red solid whose solubility in water is 5.5 X 10-2 mol L-1. Calculate its \p. What is its solubility' in grams per 100 g of water?arrow_forward
- In a particular experiment, the equilibrium constant measured for the reaction, Cl2(g)+NO2(g)Cl2NO2(g), is 2.8. Based on this measurement, calculate AG° for this reaction. Calculate AG° using data from Appendix E at the back of the book and discuss the agreement between your two calculations.arrow_forwardThe atmosphere consists of about 80% N2 and 20% O2, yet there are many oxides of nitrogen that are stable and can be isolated in the laboratory. (a) Is the atmosphere at chemical equilibrium with respect to forming NO? (b) If not, why doesnt NO form? If so, how is it that NO can be made and kept in the laboratory for long periods?arrow_forwardCalculate the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction N2(g)+2O2(g)2NO2(g) if the concentrations of the species at equilibrium are [N2] = 0.0013, [O2] = 0.0024, and [NO2] = 0.00065.arrow_forward
