The solubility of salt of weak acid MX (e.g. phosphoric) is increase at tower pH explain with equation.

Answer»

Solution :The solubility of salt of weak acid like `Na_3PO_4` increases at lower pH because as lower pH concentration of anion `X^-` decreases due to protonation so `X^-` decrease and solubility of MX increases.
`MX HARR M_((aq))^(+) + X_((aq))^(-)`…(Eq. -i)
`K_(sp)=[M^+][X^-]`...(Eq.-ii)
MX is the salt of weak acid (HX) ionization of weak acid is as follows .
`HX_((aq)) hArr H_((aq))^(+) + X_((aq))^(-)` ...(Eq.-iii)
(Eq.-iii) ionization constant for weak acid
`K_a=([H_((aq))^+][X_(aq)^-])/(HX_((aq))]`...(Eq.-iv)
`THEREFORE K_a/([H^+])=([X^-])/([HX])`
`([H^+])/K_a +1 = ([HX])/([X^-])+1`
`because ([H^+]+K_a)/K_a=([HX]+[X^-])/([X^-])`
`K_a/([H^+]+K_a)=([X^-])/([HX]+[X^-])=F` ....(Eq.-v)
So `[H^+]` increase pH decreases and with of .f. decrease.
SUPPOSE , for given salt MX at given pH .S. is molar .
`K_(sp)=[M^+][X^-]=S-(f S) =S^2(f)`
`therefore S=sqrt(K_(sp)/f)` ...(Eq.-vi)
As per (Eq.-v)
`1/f=(([H^+]+K_a)/K_a)`....(Eq.-vii)
`S=((K_(sp){(H^+)+(K_a)})/K_a)^(1/2)` ....(Eq.-viii)
As per this EQUATION `S prop [H^+] pH prop 1/([H^+])`

Write the electronic configuration of O_(2) molecule in the singlet state.

Answer»

Solution : Ordinary ` O_(2)`moleucle has the electronic configuration
`sigma_(1s)^(2) sigma_(1s)^(**2) sigma_(2s)^(2) sigma_(2p_(z))^(**2).pi_(2P_(x))^(2)pi_(2P_(y))^(2)pi_(2P_(x))^(**1)pi_(2P_(y))^(**2)`
Multiplicity= (2S + 1 ) Where S =total electron spin
` = 2 ((1)/(2) + (1)/(2)) + 1 = 3 ` ""` [ S = (1)/(2) + (1)/(2) ` because two electons have parallel spins]
Hence , it is in the triplet STATE
if two ELECTRONS pair up ` S = (1)/(2) - (1)/(2) = 0 ` (because they will have opposite spin)
Spin multiplicity = `2S + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1 `
This is called singlet state . Hence, electronic configuration of `O_(2)` moleculein the single state will be
`sigma_(1s)^(2) sigma_(1s)^(**2) sigma_(2s)^(2) sigma_(2s)^(**2)sigma_(2p_(z))^(2).pi_(2P_(x))^(2)pi_(2P_(y))^(2)pi_(2P_(x))^(**2)pi_(2P_(y))^(**0)`
