Solution:
At the equivalence point, moles NaOH = moles benzoic acid
HA + NaOH ==> NaA + H2O where HA is benzoic acid
At the equivalence point, all the benzoic acid ==> sodium benzoate
A^- + H2O ==> HA + OH- (again, A^- is the benzoate anion and HA is the weak acid benzoic acid)
Kb for benzoate = 1x10^-14/4.5x10^-4 = 2.22x10^-11
Kb = 2.22x10^-11 = [HA][OH-][A^-] = (x)(x)/0.150
x^2 = 3.33x10^-12
x = 1.8x10^-6 = [OH-]
pOH = -log [OH-] = 5.74
pH = 14 - pOH = 8.26
The best answer is "<span>High temperatures increase the activation energy of the reaction."
The Haber process is an exothermic reaction at room temperature. This means that the reaction actually favors the reverse reaction, especially when the temperature is increased. So why increase the reaction temperature?
The reason for this is that nitrogen is a very stable element. Therefore, more energy is needed to overcome the slow rate of reaction. So the reaction temperature must be low enough to favor a forward reaction, but high enough to speed up the reaction.</span>
Answer:
Any element
Explanation:
Any element that produces an extra proton, aka a Hydrogen cation, or H⁺
Chemical equations are equations that show that the chemical formulas of a substance that has been reacted and/or produced.
