Write a net ionic equation to show why the solubility of Mn(OH)2(s) increases in the presence of a strong acid and calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction of this sparingly soluble salt with acid. Use the pull-down boxes to specify states such as (aq) or (s). + + K =

yes it is balanced

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

there is none because earth is stationary and flat.

the correct answer is:

a. formation of precipitation
