1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

Using a value of ksp = 1.8 x 10-2 for the reaction pbcl2 pb+2(aq) + 2cl -(aq). if the value of ksp was determined to be only 1.2 x 10-2: too much solid has dissolved. additional precipitate is forming. the solution is unsaturated. the ions are now combining to reduce their concentrations.

Compare the equilibrium constants for the systems shown in the table. which favors products the most? which favors products the least? rank these systems in order from most to least in terms of favoring products rather than reactants. d > b > a > c c > a > b > d b > c > d > a a > d > c > b
