Answerthis solution will not form a precipitateexplanationsolubility equilbrium: pbf₂(s) ⇄ pb²⁺(aq) + 2 f⁻(aq)the solubility product expression is $k_{sp} = [\text{pb}^{2+}][\text{f}^- ]^2 = 4 \times 10^{-8}$ (we exclude solids from the equilibrium expression).now suppose we have the trial ion product q, which we can define as $q = [\text{pb}^{2+}]_{\text{initial}} \cdot [\text{f}^- ]^2_{\text{initial}}$ 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: $\begin{aligned} q & = [\text{pb}^{2+}]_{\text{initial}} \cdot [\text{f}^- ]^2_{\text{initial}} \\ & = (1.9 \times 10^{-3} ) (3.8\times 10^{3})^2 \\ & = 2.7 \times 10^{-8} \end{aligned}$ since q = 2.7 × 10⁻⁸ < ksp = 4 × 10⁻⁸, a precipitate will not form.

Answerthe half-reaction having the greatest tendency to occur at the anode: i₂(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2i⁻ ; e = +0.53 v====== $\begin{aligned} \text{i}_2\text{\footnotesize (aq)}+2\,\text{e}^{-} & \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{i}^{-}\text{\footnotesize (aq)}& \text{e} & = +0.53\text{ v} \\ \text{co}^{3+}\text{\footnotesize (aq)} + \text{e}^{-} & \rightleftharpoons \text{co}^{2+}\text{\footnotesize (aq)} & \text{e} & = +1.80\text{ v} \\ \text{o}_2\text{\footnotesize (g)}+4\,\text{h}^{+}\text{\footnotesize (aq)} + 4\,\text{e}^{-} & \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{h}_2\text{o}\text{\footnotesize(l)}& \text{e} & = +1.23\text{ v} \\ \end{aligned}$ oxidation occurs at the anode. we must therefore find the half-reaction with the greatest tendency to oxidize.the given values of e are reduction potentials (the form of the half-reactions are of reduction).the lower the reduction potential, the higher the potential to oxidize. the half-cell with the lowest reduction potential will have the greatest tendency to oxidize at the anode.the half-reaction having the greatest tendency must be i₂(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2i⁻ e = +0.53 vbecause its reduction potential is the lowest out of the three.

Liquid ammonia is produced at high temperatures and under great pressure in a tank by passing a mixture of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas over an iron catalyst. the reaction is represented by the following equation. n2(g) + 3h2(g) → 2nh3(g) changing all but one experimental condition will affect the amount of ammonia produced. that condition is a) increasing the concentration of both reactants b) changing the temperature within the tank c) decreasing the pressure within the tank. d) increasing only the amount of nitrogen present.
