Why does Ce2(SO3)3 have a lower solubility than KCl?

A saturated solution is at equilibrium (rate of dissolution is equal to rate of crystallization) with some equilibrium constant K1. If you change the temperature of the system at equilibrium, you will observe a different equilibrium constant K2. Whether the equilibrium constant increase or decreases is described by the Van't Hoff equation:

ln(K2K1)=−ΔHR(1T2−1T1)

So it depends on the sign of the enthalpy of reaction, in this case the enthalpy of dissolution.

2h2o2--> 2h2o + o2

this reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen.

add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

this may not be entirely correct but let me know.
