- What do you suppose happens to the Ksp, value of a solid as the temperature of the solution changes? Consider both increasing and decreasing temperatures, and explain your answer.arrow_forwardMarble is almost pure CaCO3. Acid rain has a devastating effect on marble statuary left outdoors. Assume that the reaction which occurs is CoCO3(s)+ H+(aq)Ca2+(aq)+HCO3(aq) Neglecting all other competing equilibria and using Tables 15.1 and 13.2, calculate (a) K for the reaction. (b) the molar solubility of CaCO3 in pure water. (c) the molar solubility of CaCO3 in acid rainwater with a pH of 4.00.arrow_forwardHow many grams of Zn(CN)2(s) (117.44 g/mol) would be soluble in 100 mL of H2O? Include the balanced reaction and the expression for Ksp in your answer. The KSP value for Zn(CN)2(s) is 3.01016.arrow_forward

A common buffer solution can be prepared by using ammonia and ammonium salts. The base equilibrium constant of ammonia, NH3, is 1.815x10-5 A student worker is asked to prepare a buffer solution with NH3 and ammonium salt. However, after the student did a thorough search, no ammonium salt is found. After the student reported the result to the professor, the professor told the student the buffer can be prepared with ammonia and a strong acid. Can you help this student out? The pH of the buffer to be prepared is 10.08. The molarity of the ammonia in the buffer is 0.4717 M. The molarity of the ammonia solution found in the laboratory is 1.201 M, the strong acid solution is 0.9948 M HNO3. The volume of the buffer solution to be prepared is 500.0 mL. Please answer the following questions. A. B. What is the molarity of the ammonium ion in the buffer? Please provider your answer below. Check answer How many mL of 0.9948 M HNO3 solution is needed?

Propanoic acid is a weak acid with K=1.3 × 10 °. What ass of KC, H,CO, should the student dissolve in the HC,H,CO, solution to turn it into a buffer with pH =4.91? ou may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when the KC, H,CO, is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to significant digits.arrow_forwardTo an aqueous solution originally containing 1.0 x 10^-4 mol/L Ag+ was added enough of the weak acid HCN to reach an equilibrium concentration of [HCN] = 3.0 x 10^-4 mol/L. What must be the pH of the solution in order to observe a precipitate of AGCN? (Hint: Assume any change in pH will not change the value of [HCN]). K sp of AGCN = 1.2 x 10-16 Ka of HCN = 6.2 × 10-10 %3Darrow_forward
