    Question Related to Solubility and Common Ion Effect

    So the question asks - What is molar solubility of AgCl in 0.1M HCl? Ksp = [Ag+][Cl-] ----> Ksp = 1.8x10-10 After setting up the problem we get... Ksp = (x)(0.1 + x) 1.8x10-10 = (x)(0.1) 1.8x10-9 = (x) So the resulting answer is a Molar Solubility of 1.8x10-9, which to me is less...

    Solubility of a Substance in solution

    What is the solubility of Mg(OH)2 in a 0.55mol/L solution of KOH if the Ksp of Mg(OH)2 is 9.0x10-12? I figured out that the initial concentration of OH- in the solution is 0.55mol/L. I did an ICE table for Mg(OH)2 and (assume x represents an unknown concentration) found that the concentration...

    Solubility of alkanols in water

    Is propan-1-ol more soluble than propan-2-ol in water? Propan-2-ol has 2 alkyl group, which is electron donating. Since the formation of H-bonding is due to the elecrionegativity difference of O atom and H atom is the hydroxl group. I think think that the O atom in propan-2-ol can gain...
