larger is the value of $Ksp$ the higher will the solubility of solid in water.

What is called compound?

In chemistry, a compound is a substance made up of two or more different chemical elements combined in a fixed ratio.
When the elements come together, they react with each other and form chemical bonds that are difficult to break.
These bonds form as a result of sharing or exchanging electrons between atoms.

The equation for the dissociation of a solid MX in water is given below

MX(s) ⇄ Mⁿ⁺(aq) + Xⁿ⁻ (aq)

Assume s be the solubility of MX in pure water, then the equilibrium concentrations of ions are

[ Mⁿ⁺] = s

[ Xⁿ⁻ ] = s

The expression for the solubility product constant ( $Ksp$ ) is as follows

$Ksp$ = [ Mⁿ⁺] [ Xⁿ⁻ ]

= s²

That is, larger is the value of $Ksp$ the higher will the solubility of solid in water.

The active planning stage of change is ____________. Group of answer choices maintenance action contemplation preparation

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

-Determination - in this stage, people have make commitment to change the bad habit as soon as possible. it is stage of planning.

Explanation:

There are six stages of change that have a unique role in changing one's behavior. The stages are:

-Pre-contemplation - in this stage people are more aware of this bad habit but at the same time they are not considering as a problem

- contemplation - At this stage, people are more serious about their bad habit and now are thinking of changing

-Determination - in this stage, people have made a commitment to change the bad habit as soon as possible. it is stage of planning.

- Action - at this stage of change people are taking a serious step toward changing their behavior

- Maintenance - in this stage people are avoiding all those criteria and source through which there is a chance to return back to bad habits

-Relapse - at this stage people do resumption of old behavior

How much heat does a 100. g sample of copper absorb when its temperature increases by 30.0°C? The specific heat of copper is 0.3

erica [24]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ 1170 \ Joules }}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how much heat a sample of copper absorbs when the temperature is increased.

Since we know the mass, temperature increase, and specific heat capacity, we can use the following formula to calculate heat.

$q= mc \Delta T$

The mass of the copper sample is 100 grams, the temperature is changed or increased by 30.0 degrees Celsius, and the specific heat of copper is 0.39 Joules per gram degrees Celsius.
