An example of a single replacement reactions is the polishing of silverware by soaking with aluminum. silver reacts with sulfur, s, to become ag2s. aluminum replaces the silver, ag, in this reaction. which of these is the correct balanced chemical reaction for this? a) ag + al2s →ag + al2s3 b) al + ag2s → ag + al2s3 c) 2al + 3ag2s →6ag + al2s3 d) 2ag + 3al2s →6ag + al2s3

YES THE ANSWER IS

Answerthis solution will not form a precipitateexplanationsolubility equilbrium:         pbf₂(s)  ⇄ pb²⁺(aq) + 2 f⁻(aq)the solubility product expression is    (we exclude solids from the equilibrium expression).now suppose we have the trial ion product q, which we can define as    then, we can interpret  q as the product of the concentration of the ions that we have and ksp as the product of the ion concentrations that are needed to form a saturated solution.if q > ksp, then that implies that there will be a surplus of ions that exceed the amount that is required to form a saturated solution. a precipitate will then form (the precipitate continually  forms until the surplus ions are removed and q is decreased to ksp's value).if q = ksp, the saturated solution that forms is barely saturated and the precipitate will be minimal.if q < ksp, then the ion concentration will not be enough to form a saturated solution (so no precipitate).using our information, we calculate the trial ion product:     since q = 2.7  × 10⁻⁸ < ksp =  4  ×  10⁻⁸, a precipitate will not form.

We can't until we know what we are working with or on
