Answer:

The answer is 465.6 mg of MgI₂ to be added.

Explanation:

We find the mole of ion I⁻ in the final solution

C = n/V -> n = C x V = 0.2577 (L) x 0.1 (mol/L) = 0.02577 mol

But in the initial solution, there was 0.087 M KI, which can be converted into mole same as above calculation, equal to 0.02242 mol.

So we need to add an addition amount of 0.02577 - 0.02242 = 0.00335 mol of I⁻. But each molecule of MgI₂ yields two ions of I⁻, so we need to divide 0.00335 by 2 to find the mole of MgI₂, which then is 0.001675 mol.

Hence, the weight of MgI₂ must be added is

Weight of MgI₂ = 0.001675 mol x 278 g/mol = 0.4656 g = 465.6 mg

The state of matter with a specific volume but no definite shape is the _____ state.

bagirrra123 [75]

The state of matter with a specific volume but no definite shape is the <u>Liquid</u> state.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are three states of matter according to chemical science: Solid, Liquid and Gas. There is not much space in among the molecules. The particles in a liquid are free to float, so while a liquid has a certain volume it has no definite form. Liquids are composed of atoms or molecules bound by inter molecular bonds.

Most of the liquids resist compression while some do not, unlike a gas, a liquid will not spread to fill any container room and will retain a fairly constant density. A characteristic liquid state property is surface tension that results to wetting phenomena. Water is perhaps the most frequent substance on Earth.

The solubility of BaCO3(s) in water at a certain temperature is 4.4 10–5 mol/L. Calculate the value of Ksp for BaCO3(s) at this

azamat

Answer : The value of $K_{sp}$ for $BaCO_3$ is $19.36\times 10^{-10}mole^2/L^2$ .

Solution : Given,

Solubility of $BaCO_3$ in water = $4.4\times 10^{-5}mole/L$

The barium carbonate is insoluble in water, that means when we are adding water then the result is the formation of an equilibrium reaction between the dissolved ions and undissolved solid.

The equilibrium equation is,

$BaCO_3\rightleftharpoons Ba^{2+}+CO^{2-}_3$
