Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The effect on equilibrium of reaction,
Concept Introduction:
Solubility product relates the solubility of a salt with the concentration of ions present in the salt. Solubility product holds a direct relation with the solubility of the salt. The solubility product is the ability of the solid to dissolve in aqueous solution. The more the solubility product the more the solid dissolves in solution. It is denoted as

- What is the effect on the amount of solid Mg(OH)2 that dissolves and the concentrations of Mg2+ and OH– when each of the following are added to a mixture of solid Mg(OH)2 in water at equilibrium?(a) MgCl2(b) KOH(c) an acid(d) NaNO3(e) Mg(OH)2arrow_forwardAlthough silver chloride is insoluble in water, it readily dissolves upon the addition of ammonia. AgCl(s)+2NH3(aq)Ag(NH3)2+(aq)+Cl(aq) a What is the equilibrium constant for this dissolving process? b Ammonia is added to a solution containing excess AgCl(s). The final volume is 1.00 L and the resulting equilibrium concentration of NH3 is 0.80 M. Calculate the number of moles of AgCl dissolved, the molar concentration of Ag(NH3)2+, and the number of moles of NH3 added to the original solution.arrow_forwardNeither PbCl2 nor PbF2 is appreciably soluble in water. If solid PbCl2 and solid PbF2 are placed in equal amounts of water in separate beakers, in which beaker is the concentration of Pb2+ greater? Equilibrium constants for these solids dissolving in water are as follows: PbCl2(s) Pb2+(aq) + 2 Cl(aq)Kc = 1.7 105 PbF2(s) Pb2+(aq) + 2 F(aq)Kc = 3.7 108arrow_forward
- A scientist was interested in how soluble rust is in acidic soils, so she set up an idealized problem to get an initial feel for the situation. A fairly acidic soil has a pH of 4.50. Also, rust is essentially Fe(OH)3. Therefore, she considered the following problem: Suppose a 1.00-g sample of iron(III) hydroxide is exposed to 1.00 L of a buffer with a pH of 4.50. She then calculated the nanograms of Fe3+ that dissolve in a liter of this buffer. Show how you would do this problem. Explain your work.arrow_forwardCrystals of AgBr can be removed from black-and-white photographic film by reacting the AgBr with sodium thiosulfate. AgBr(s)+2S2O32(aq)[Ag(S2O3)2]3(aq)+Br(aq) a What is the equilibrium constant for this dissolving process? b In order to dissolve 2.5 g of AgBr in 1.0 L of solution, how many moles of Na2S2O3 must be added?arrow_forwardDescribe any thermochemical (heat of reaction) evidence for the Arrhenius concept.arrow_forward
- The active ingredient of Pepto-Bismol is the compound bismuth subsalicylate, which undergoes the following dissociation when added to water: C7H5BiO4(s)+H2O(l)C7H4O32(aq)+Bi3+(aq)+OH(aq)K=? If the maximum amount of bismuth subsalicylate that reacts by this reaction is 3.2 1019 mol/L, calculate the equilibrium constant for the preceding reaction.arrow_forwardIron concentrations greater than 5.4106 M in water used for laundry purposes can cause staining. What [OH-] is required to reduce [Fe2+] to this level by precipitation of Fe(OH)2?arrow_forwardA saturated solution of silver oxalate. Ag2C2O4. contains 6.9 105-M C2O42 at 25 C. Calculate the Ksp of silver oxalate at that temperature, assuming that the ions do not react with water and the dissociation is complete.arrow_forward
