Question

Calculate the concentration of clo2− at equilibrium if the initial concentration of hclo2 is 2. 25×10^−2 m.

Answer 1

The concentration of ClO₂⁻ at equilibrium if the initial concentration of  HClO₂ is 0.0654.

What is concentration?

The concentration of any substance is the quantity of that substance in per square of the space or container.

The reaction is

HClO₂ + H₂O <=> H₃O⁺ + ClO₂⁻

The pH is 0.454 M

Ka = [H₃O⁺][ClO₂⁻ ] / [HClO₂]

2. 25 × 10⁻² m = [x][x] / 0.454-x]

2 + 0.011 - 0.004994 = 0

solve the quadratic equation

x = 0.0654 = [H3O+] = [ClO2-]

pH = -log (H3O+)

pH = -log(0.0654)

pH = 1.2

equilibrium concentrations of

[HClO2] = 0.454 -x = 0.454 -0.0654 = 0.3886 M

[ClO2- ] = x = 0.0654

Thus, the equilibrium concentrations  is 0.0654.
