Calculate the molar solubility of mercury (I) bromide, Hg2Br2, in 1.0 M KBr. The Ksp for Hg2Br2 is 5.6 X 10−23. (Hint: How would

the Br− concentration from the sparingly soluble compound itself compare to the Br− concentration that comes from the KBr?

Answer:

The correct answer is 5.6 × 10⁻²³ M.

Explanation:

As a highly soluble salt, KBr dissolves easily in water, while Hg₂Br₂ is very less soluble in comparison to KBr.

Let the solubility of Hg₂Br₂ is S mol per liter.

Therefore,

KBr (s) (1.0 M) ⇒ K⁺ (aq) (1M) + Br⁻ (aq) (1M)

Hg₂Br₂ (s) (1-S) ⇔ Hg₂⁺ (aq) (S) + 2Br⁻ (aq) (2S)

Net [Br-] = (2S + 1) M

Ksp = S (2S + 1)²

Ksp = S (4S² + 1 + 4S)

Ksp = 4S³ + S + 4S²

As the solubility is extremely less, therefore, we can ignore S² and S³. Now,

Ksp = S = 5.6 × 10⁻²³ M

Hence, the solubility of Hg₂Br₂ is 5.6 × 10⁻²³ M.

What element is being oxidized in the following redox reaction?
gregori [183]

Answer:

C is the element thats has been oxidized.

Explanation:

MnO₄⁻ (aq)  +  H₂C₂O₄ (aq)  →  Mn²⁺ (aq)  +  CO₂(g)

This is a reaction where the manganese from the permanganate, it's reduced to Mn²⁺.

In the oxalic acid, this are the oxidation states:

H: +1

C: +3

O: -2

In the product side, in CO₂ the oxidation states are:

C: +4

O: -2

Carbon from the oxalate has increased the oxidation state, so it has been oxidized.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Mitochondria are abundantly present in mammalian cells. Their fraction varies from tissue to tissue, ranging from <1% (volume) in white blood cells to 35% in heart muscle cells. However, mitochondria should not be thought of as single entities, but rather a dynamic network that continuously undergoes fission and fusion processes. In skeletal muscle, mitochondria exist as a reticular membrane network. The subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondria are located in distinct subcellular regions, and they possess subtle differences in biochemical and functional properties that are characterized by their anatomical locations. SS mitochondria lie directly beneath the sarcolemmal membrane and the IMF mitochondria are located in close contact with the myofibril. Their different properties are likely to influence their capacity for adaptation. SS mitochondria account for 10-15% of the mitochondrial volume and this population has been shown to be more susceptible to adaptation than the IMF mitochondria. However, the IMF mitochondria were found to have higher rates of protein synthesises, enzyme activities and respiration (1).

Identify the Lewis acids and Lewis bases in the following reactions:
postnew [5]

Answer: 1. H^++OH^-\rightarrow H_2O  Lewis acid : H^+, Lewis base : OH^-

2. Cl^-+BCl_3\rightarrow BCl_4^- Lewis acid : BCl_3, Lewis base : Cl^-

3. K^++6H_2O\rightarrow K(H_2O)_6 Lewis acid : K^+, Lewis base : H_2O

Explanation:

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

1. H^++OH^-\rightarrow H_2O

As H^+ gained electrons to complete its octet. Thus it acts as lewis acid.OH^- acts as lewis base as it donates lone pair of electrons to electron deficient specie H^+.

2. Cl^-+BCl_3\rightarrow BCl_4^-

As BCl_3 is short of two electrons to complete its octet. Thus it acts as lewis acid. Cl^- acts as lewis base as it donates lone pair of electrons to electron deficient specie BCl_3.

3. K^++6H_2O\rightarrow K(H_2O)_6

As K^+ is short of electrons to complete its octet. Thus it acts as lewis acid. H_2O acts as lewis base as it donates lone pair of electrons to electron deficient specie K^+.
