Concept explainers
Consider the insoluble salts JQ, K2R, L2S3, MT2, and NU3. They are formed from the metal ions J+, K+, L3+, M2+, and N3+ and the nonmetal ions Q-, R2-, S2-, T-, and U-. All the salts have the same Ksp,
(a) Which salt has the highest molar solubility?
(b) Does the salt with the highest molar solubility have the highest solubility in g salt/100 g water?
(c) Can the solubility of each salt in g/ 100 g water be determined from the information given? If yes, calculate the solubility of each salt in g/100 g water. If no, why not?

Hypochlorous acid is an unstable compound and one of the decomposition products is chlorine gas, Cl2. The composition of the acid lowers its concentration over time. What effect will the decomposition of one-fourth of the acid have on the agreement between the endpoint of the titration and the equivalence point during a titration with standard sodium hydroxide? It is impossible to determine The endpoint would be before the ideal equivalence point The endpoint would be after the ideal equivalence point The endpoint will rema eerthe ideal egvaleacepolntarrow_forwardFill in the left side of this equilibrium constant equation for the reaction of benzoic acid (HC H,CÓ,) with water. 0= K, 国arrow_forward
