(b)
Interpretation:
Whether undissolved table salt when in contact with a saturated salt solution in an open beaker can reach equilibrium or not is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The equilibrium is a state of the chemical reaction in which the rate of the forward reaction and the rate of the backward reaction become the same. There is no net change in the amount of reactants and products at the equilibrium condition.

- Describe a nonchemical system that is not in equilibrium, and explain why equilibrium has not been achieved.arrow_forward. K for copper(II)hydroxide, Cu(OH)2, has a value 2.21020at 25 °C. Calculate the solubility of copper(II) hydroxide in mol/L and g/L at 25 °C.arrow_forwardYou are designing a process to remove carbonate ions from an aqueous system by precipitation. If the effectiveness of the process is the only concern (meaning there are no environmental or other issues involved), which of the following metal ions would be the best choice: Ca2+,Fe2+,Pb2+,orAg2+ ? Explain your answer. Salt Ksp CaCO3 4.8109 FeCO3 3.51011 PbCO3 1.51013 Ag2CO3 8.21012arrow_forward
- Assume that the solubility of carbon dioxide gas in pop at 5oC is 0.586 g/100 mL and at 20oC its solubility is 0.169 g/100 mL.  What mass of carbon dioxide gas will escape from a 355-mL can of Coke that has been taken out of the fridge and has been sitting open at 20oC?arrow_forwardWrite the dissolution reaction for lead chloride in water. Is lead chloride considered soluble or not soluble? Based upon this, the equilibrium constant for this reaction will be greater than 1 or less than 1?arrow_forwardAt 25 ∘C, the osmotic pressure of a solution of the salt XY is 39.9 torr . What is the solubility product of XY at 25 ∘C?arrow_forward
- A solution is prepared by dissolving 1.40 g of silver sulfate in 100 mL of hot water. Will a precipitate form if the solution is cooled to 25oC? Assume that a negligible change in volume occurs during the operations. (Ksp = 1.2 x 10-5).arrow_forwardThe value of the equilibrium constant is NOT affected by the concentrations of _____. Select one: A. pure solids and liquids B. gases C. aqueous solutions D. all of the abovearrow_forwardWrite the equilibrium expression for Ca^2+ + 2Cl^- ⇌ CaCl2 with activity coefficients. pls answer and show the solution, thank uarrow_forward
- Two beakers under a bell jar, isolated from the surroundings, contain solutions of sugar in water. The first beaker initially contains 1.0 mol of sugar in 72 ml of water. The second beaker initially contains 0.5 mol of sugar in 72ml of water. What is the mol fraction of sugar in the first beaker after the system has reached equilibrium?arrow_forwardLactic acid (CH3 - CH(OH) - COOH) is a weak acid and therefore a weak electrolyte.found in "cut milk". The freezing point of an aqueous solution 0.01 m of lactic acid is 0.0206 ºC. Knowing that in aqueous solution the following equilibrium occurs:CH3 -CH(OH) -COOH(ac)  = CH3 -CH(OH) -COO(-)(ac) + H(+)(ac)and that, therefore, there are three species (solutes) in solution, calculate their percentage of ionization.arrow_forwardLactic acid (CH3 - CH(OH) - COOH) is a weak acid and therefore a weak electrolyte. found in "cut milk".
