Phosphorus pentachloride reacts violently with water togive a mixture of phosphoric acid and hydrochloric acid.(a) Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.(b) Determine the concentration (in moles per liter) of each of the acids that result from the complete reaction of 1.22 L of phosphorus pentachloride (measured at 215°C and 0.962 atm pressure) with enough water to give a solution volume of 697 mL.

If you compare the solubilities of the noble gases in water,you find that solubility increases from smallest atomicweight to largest, Ar < Kr < Xe. Which of the followingstatements is the best explanation? (a) The heavier the gas, the more it sinks to the bottom ofthe water and leaves room for more gas molecules at thetop of the water.(b) The heavier the gas, the more dispersion forces it has,and therefore the more attractive interactions it haswith water molecules.(c) The heavier the gas, the more likely it is to hydrogenbondwith water.(d) The heavier the gas, the more likely it is to make a saturatedsolution in water.

To obtain a precipitate which is useful for gravimetric analysis, the analyst tries to obtain conditions to encourage crystal growth, as opposed to the formation of a colloid. Which of the following statements aids in the formation of a crystalline precipitate and the formation of a colloidal precipitate? Drag your answers to the appropriate markers. (a) The solutions are made as dilute as practical to allow crystals to form slowly. (b) The addition of strong electrolytes (e.g. NaCl or HCl) in the analyte solution, prior to the precipitation reaction. (c) After the digestion of the precipitate, the hot solution is cooled down to room temperature gradually and kept undisturbed overnight. (d) The analyst selects the precipitate of the analyte with the Ksp less than 1 x 10 -15 (e) The Relative Supersaturation value of the analyte solution should be greater than 1 million upon the addition of the precipitating reagent. formation of colloidal precipitate favored formation of crystalline…
