The concentration of barium in a saturated solution of barium sulfate at a particular temperature is 1.2 g/mL. Calculate Ksp at this temperature.

Solubility is an equilibrium position, whereas Ksp is an equilibrium constant. Explain the difference.

The following question is taken from a Chemistry Advanced Placement Examination and is used with the permission of the Educational Testing Service. Solve the following problem: MgF2(s)Mg2+(aq)+2F(aq) In a saturated solution of MgF2 at 18 C, the concentration of Mg2+ is 1.21103M . The equilibrium is represented by the preceding equation. (a) Write the expression for the solubility-product constant, Ksp, and calculate its value at 18 C. (b) Calculate the equilibrium concentration of Mg2+ in 1.000 L of saturated MgF2 solution at 18 C to which 0.100 mol of solid KF has been added. The KF dissolves completely. Assume the volume change is negligible. (c) Predict whether a precipitate of MgF2 will form when 100.0 mL of a 3.00103 -M solution of Mg(NO3)2 is mixed with 200.0 mL of a .2.00103 -M solution of NaF at 18 C. Show the calculations to support your prediction.. (d) At 27 C the concentration of Mg2+ in a saturated solution of MgF2 is 1.17103M . Is the dissolving of MgF2 in water all endothermic or an exothermic process? Give an explanation to support your conclusion.

Consider the system 4NH3(g)+3O2(g)2N2(g)+6H2O(l)H=1530.4kJ (a) How will the concentration of ammonia at equilibrium be affected by (1) removing O2(g)? (2) adding N2(g)? (3) adding water? (4) expanding the container? (5) increasing the temperature? (b) Which of the above factors will increase the value of K? Which will decrease it?

Some barium chloride is added to a solution that contains both K2SO4 (0.050 M) and Na3PO4 (0.020 M). (a) Which begins to precipitate first: the barium sulfate or the barium phosphate? (b) The concentration of the first anion species to precipitate, either the sulfate or phosphate, decreases as the precipitate forms. What is the concentration of the first species when the second begins to precipitate?

How is the strength of an acid related to the position of its ionization equilibrium? Write the equations for the dissociation (ionization) of HCI, HNO3, and HClO4in water. Since all these acids are strong acids, what does this indicate about the basicity of the Cl-, NO3, and ClO4ions? Are aqueous solutions of NaCl, NaNO3, or NaClO4basic?

Calculate 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.

The 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?

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.
