1) Cr2O7^2- (aq) + NO2^-(aq) -> Cr^3+(aq) + NO3^-(aq)
Whats the coefficient of water after balancing redox rxn, which in acidic solution?
2) Which solution will increase molar solubility of CuCO3 (Ksp=2.3*10^-10) at 298K? (Ksp of Cu(OH)2 is 2.2*10^-20)
HCl, NaOH, Na2CO3
I seriously have no idea with this problem please explain with details thank you so much
1) The initial reactant is acidic in nature. The balanced equation and explanation is given below.
2) The CuCO3 is basic in nature.
The solubility product of copper hydroxide is less when compared to the solubility product of CuCO3. Therefore the addition of NaOH will further decrease the solubility of CuCO3.
CuCO3 Cu2+ + CO32-
The addition of Na2CO3 will produce more CO32- ions, so to balance the above equation the equilibrium will shift towards the right hand side producing more copper ions. Thus increasing the solubility of CuCO3.
As stated above the CuCO3 is basic in nature. Therefore creating acidic medium will increase the solubility of the CuCO3.
