Suppose 224.5 mg of PbCl2 was added to 15.0 mL of water in a flask, and the solution was allowed to reach equilibrium at 20.0 oC. Some solute remained at the bottom of the flask after equilibrium, and the solution was filtered to collect the remaining PbCl2, which had a mass of 74.3 mg . What is the solubility of PbCl2 (in g/L)

a electronegativity decreases beacuse the size of nucleus is bigger.

the answer is barium and copper bromide

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
