Consider the following balanced equation for the dissociation of barium hydroxide in an aqueous solution.[tex]k_{sp}[/te x] = 5 x 10⁻³a 1m solution of barium nitrate is added to the solution. what is the solubility of barium hydroxide after this addition? a. 0.035mb. 0.108mc. 0.050md. 0.118me. 0.003m

a. 0,035M

Explanation:

For the reaction:

Ba(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

Ksp is defined as:

Ksp = [Ba²⁺] [OH⁻]²

5x10⁻³ = [Ba²⁺] [OH⁻]²

if is added a solution of 1M of Ba²⁺:

5x10⁻³ = [1M] [OH⁻]²

The addition of barium hydroxide Ba(OH)₂ gives:

[Ba²⁺] = 1M + x

[OH⁻]² = 2x

Replacing:

5x10⁻³ = [1 + x] [2x]²

5x10⁻³ = 4x² + 4x³

Solutions are:

x = -1,00 M

x = -0,036 M

x = 0,035 M → Right answer, there are not negative concentrations.

Thus, solubility is

a. 0,035M

I hope it helps!

whats the meaning of /

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
