The osmotic pressure of a saturated solution of strontium sulfate at 25 ∘C∘C is 21 torrtorr. Part A What is the solubility product of this salt at 25 ∘C∘C ?

Answer

solubility product = 3.18x 10^-7

Explanation:

We were given the pressure in torr then we need to convert to atm for consistency, ten we have

21torr/760= 0.0276315789 atm

21 Torr = .0276315789 atm

P = i M S T

M = P / iRT

Where p is osmotic pressure

T= temperature= 25C+ 273= 298K

for XY vanthoff factor i = 2

S = 0.0821 L-atm / mol K

M = .0276315789 atm / (2)(0.0821 L atm / K mole)(298 K)

M = 0.000564698046 mol/liters

solubility= 0.000564698046 mol/liters

Ksp = [X+][Y-]

Ksp = X^2

Ksp = [Sr^+2] * [SO4^-2]

Ksp = X^2

Ksp = (0.000564698046)^2

Ksp = 3.18883883 × 10-7

Ksp = 3.18x 10^-7

solubility product = 3.18x 10^-7

Therefore, the solubility product of this salt at 25 ∘C∘C is 3.18x 10^-7

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
