At 25 °c only 0.0470 mol of the generic salt ab3 is soluble in 1.00 l of water. what is the ksp of the salt at 25 °c?
Maksim231197 [3]
When we have the balanced equation for this reaction:
AB3 ↔ A+3   +  3B-
So we can get Ksp:
when Ksp = [A+3][B-]^3
when [A+3] = 0.047 mol and from the balanced equation when 
1 mol [A+3] → 3 mol [B-]
0.047 [A+3] → ??
[B-] = 3*0.047 = 0.141
so by substitution in Ksp formula:
∴Ksp = 0.047 * 0.141^3
         = 1.32x10^-4

If 1.0 mole of CH4 and 2.0 moles of Cl2 are used in the reaction CH4 + 4Cl2 =&gt; CCl4 + 4HCl then which of these statements is
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

B,C,D

Explanation:

The yield of CCl4 depends on the amount of CH4 in a 1:1 ratio. The amount of Cl2 is twice that of CH4 hence some must be left over. To ensure that all the Cl2 is used up, more CH4 must added to the system.

Write the Lewis structure for ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, then answer the following questions:
hodyreva [135]

Answer :

(1) The number of valence electrons present in the compound is, 20

(2) The number of bonded electrons present in the compound is, 16

(3) The number of lone pair electrons present in the compound is, 4

(4) The number of single bonds present in the compound is, 8

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, CH_3CH_2OH

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CH_3CH_2OH = 2(4) + 6(1) + 6 = 20

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 16 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons or lone pair of electrons.

The Lewis-dot structure of CH_3CH_2OH is shown below.

Which atomic model states that it is impossible to know the exact location of electrons around the nucleus?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

the Bohr model, an electron's position is known precisely because it orbits the nucleus in a fixed path. In the electron cloud model, the electron's position cannot be known precisely. Only its probable location can be known.

Select the correct answer. A student places a sample of white sodium bicarbonate powder in a test tube and heats it. The student
inessss [21]

Answer is: D. It is not sodium bicarbonate.

Balanced chemical reaction of heating sodium bicarbonate:                    2NaHCO₃ → Na₂CO₃ + CO₂ + H₂O.

This is chemical change (chemical reaction), because new substances are formed (sodium carbonate, carbon(IV) oxide and water), the atoms are rearranged, so there is no sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) in the test tube.
