The solubility of KCl is 3.7 M at 20 °C. Two beakers each contain 100. mL of saturated KCl solution: 100. mL of 4.0 M HCl is added to the first beaker and 100. mL of 8 M HCl is added to the second. (a) Find the ion-product constant for KCl at 20 °C. 14 Enter as a number to 2 decimal places. (b) What mass, if any, of KCl will precipitate from each beaker? Enter as a number to 0 decimal places. beaker 1: 0 grams beaker2: grams

a)The Ksp was found to be equal to 13.69

Terminology

Qsp of a dissolving ionic solid — is the solubility product of the concentration of ions in solution.

Ksp however, is the solubility product of the concentration of ions in solution at EQUILIBRIUM with the dissolving ionic solid.

Note that if Qsp > Ksp , the solid at a certain temperature, will precipitate and form solid. That means the equilibrium will shift to the left in order to attain or reach equilibrium (Ksp).

Step-by-step solution:

To solve this: 

#./ Substitute the molar solubility of KCl as given into the ion-product equation to find the Ksp of KCl.

#./ Find the total concentration of ionic chloride in each beaker after the addition of HCl. We pay attention to the amount moles present at the beginning and the moles added.

#./ Find the Qsp value to to know if Ksp is exceeded. If Qsp < Ksp, nothing will precipitate.

a) The equation of solubility equilibrium for KCL is thus;

KCL_(s) ---> K+(aq) + Cl- (aq)

The solubility of KCl given is 3.7 M.

Ksp= [K+][Cl-] = (3.7)(3.7) =13.69

The Ksp was found to be equal to 14.

In pure water KCl

Ksp =13.69 KCl =[K+][Cl-]

Let x= molar solubility [K+],/[Cl-] :. × , x

Ksp =13.69 = [K+][Cl-] = (x)(x) = x²

x= √ 13.69 = 3.7 M moles of KCl requires to make 100mL saturated solutio

37M moles/L

The Ksp was found to be equal to 14.

4.0 M HCl = KCl =[K+][Cl-]

Let y= molar solubility :. y, y+4

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (y)(y*+4)

* - rule of thumb

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (y)(y*+4)= y(4)

13.69=4y:. y= 3.42 moles/100mL

y= 34.2moles/L

8 M HCl = KCl =[K+][Cl-]

Let b= molar solubility :. B, b+8

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (b)(b*+8)

* - rule of thumb

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (b)(b*+8)= b(8)

13.69=8b:. b= 1.71 moles/100mL

17.1 moles/L

Therefore in a solution with a common ion, the solubility of the compound reduces dramatically.

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.
