A small quantity of a soluble salt is placed in water. Equilibrium between dissolved and undissolved salt may or may not be attained. Explain.
Hard water has a high concentration of calcium and magnesium ions. Focusing on the calcium ion, a common home water -softening process is based on a reversible chemical change that can be expressed by Na2Ze(s)+Ca2+(aq)CaZe(s)+2Na+(aq). Na2Ze represents a solid resin that is like an ionic compound between sodium ions and zeolite ions, a complex arrangement of silicate and aluminate groups; CaZe is the corresponding calcium compound. When, during the day, is this system most likely to reach equilibrium? Why doesnt it reach equilibrium and stay there? Periodically it is necessary to recharge the water softner by running salt water, NaCl(aq), through it. Why is this necessary? What concept is discussed in this chapter does the recharging process illustrate? Zeolite ions are used in home water softners because they have a porous but rigid structure that is weakly attracted to cations, readily allowing an exchange among different ions.
. Under what circumstances can we compare the solubilities of two salts by directly comparing the values of their solubility products?
How is the strength of an acid related to the position of its ionization equilibrium? Write the equations for the dissociation (ionization) of HCI, HNO3, and HClO4in water. Since all these acids are strong acids, what does this indicate about the basicity of the Cl-, NO3, and ClO4ions? Are aqueous solutions of NaCl, NaNO3, or NaClO4basic?
What is the law of mass action? Is it true that the value of K depends on the amounts of reactants and products mixed together initially? Explain. Is it true that reactions with large equilibrium constant values are very fast? Explain. There is only one value of the equilibrium constant for a particular system at a particular temperature, but there is an infinite number of equilibrium positions. Explain.
In the chapter discussion of precipitate formation, we ran the precipitation reaction to completion and then let some of the precipitate redissolve to get back to equilibrium. To see why, redo Example 15-6, where Initial Cocentration (mol/L) Equilibrium Concentration (mol)/L [Mg2+]0 = 3.75 103 [F]0 = 6.25 102 reactstoformMgF2ymol/Mg2+ [Mg2+] = 3.75 103 y [F] = 6.25 102 2y
The equilibrium constants for dissolving silver sulfate and silver sulfide in water are 1.7 105 and 6 1030, respectively. (a) Write the balanced dissociation reaction equation and the associated equilibrium constant expression for each process. (b) Which compound is more soluble? Explain your answer. (c) Which compound is less soluble? Explain your answer.
