ANSWER:

Problem 9E

Visualizing Concepts

The following graphs represent the behavior of  under different circumstances. In each case, the vertical axis indicates the solubility of the  and the horizontal axis represents the concentration of some other reagent (a) Which graph represents what happens to the solubility of  as  is added? (b) Which graph represents what happens to the  solubility as  is added? (c) Which represents what happens to the  solubility as  is added? [Section]

                                                              Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 3

The dissolution reaction of Baco, is as follows:

                         

The solubility of the  decreases in presence of a common reagent  is a strong conjugate base of the weak acid  Hence, in presence of an acid,  converts into , Hence, equilibrium shifts to the right. That means in presence of an acid, the solubility of  , increases. If the concentrations of the other species have no effect on the equilibrium then the solubility remains constant

(a)

As the concentration of  (acid) increases the solubility of  increases. Hence, the graph which represents this behavior is as follows:
