The solubility product (Ksp) for a salt allows chemists to predict the concentration of dissolved ions in solution. At this point you have learned to calculate the concentration of ions in water when an insoluble salt is dissolved in pure water. But what if the beaker already has some ions dissolved in it? Can the salt still dissolve to the same extent? Is the solubility of the salt changed?

When a comet collides with earth, it adds material to our planet and causes great damage. therefore, a collision like this is a a. destructive force b. constructive force c. geologic process and event d. constructive and destructive force

Which statements are true concerning mineral formation? check all that apply. the slower the cooling, the larger the crystals. the faster the cooling, the smaller the crystals. crystals formed from magma are smaller than crystals formed from lava. minerals can only form in solutions when the solution is heated deep underground. when a solution cools, elements and compounds leave the solution and crystallize as minerals. minerals formed from hot water solutions can form narrow channels in the surrounding rock.

Under what conditions will a gas be most likely to exhibit the ideal gas properties predicted by the ideal gas law? 1)high pressures and high temperature, because particles are forced closer together with higher kinetic energy, so intermolecular forces of attraction are weaker 2)high pressure and low temperature, because particles are forced closer together and moving slower, so the volume of the particles is less significant 3) low pressure and high temperature, because particles are spread farther apart and moving faster, so the intermolecular forces of attraction are weaker 4)low pressure and low temperature, because particles are spread farther apart with lower kinetic energy, so the volume of the particles is less significant
