Not always ammonium salts of weak acids form neutral solutions.

When formic acid reacts with ammonia, ammonium formate is produced:

HCO2H + NH3 ---->  NH4HCO2

You already know that the weak conjugate bases of NH3 and HCO2H are NH4+ and HCO2, respectively.

How can the pH of the solution be calculated if the salt's anion causes the pH to rise and the salt's cation causes it to fall? The relative intensities of the basic anion and the acidic cation hold the key to the solution.

As was already established, formate is a weak base and will create hydroxide ions in water, whereas ammonium is a weak acid and will make hydronium ions in water.

NH4⁺ + H2O -----> NH3 + H3O⁺

HCO2⁻ + H2O ----->  HCO2H + OH⁻

Since the acid ionization of NH4+ is more favored than the base ionization of HCO2-, the solution will be acidic.

The balanced equation for the acid base reaction is as follows
NaOH + HCl ---> NaCl + H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to HCl is 1:1
the number of NaOH moles reacted - 0.200 mol/L x 0.0250 L = 0.005 mol
according to molar ratio
number of NaOH moles reacted = number of HCl moles reacted 
therefore number of HCl moles - 0.005 mol 
volume of 30.0  mL contains 0.005 mol
therefore 1000 mL contains - 0.005 mol / 0.030 L = 0.167 M
concentration of HCl is 0.167 M

The binding energy in MeV per atom is - 63284.56 Mev.

The amount of energy needed to detach a particle from a system of particles or to disperse every particle in the system is known as the binding energy. Subatomic particles in atomic nuclei, electrons attached to atom's nuclei, and atoms and ions bonded together in crystals are three examples of where binding energy is very relevant.

If we have a nucleus with Z protons and N neutrons and mass MA, where A = Z + N then its binding energy in MeV is given by: Eb(MeV) = (Zmp + Nmn - MA) x 931.494 MeV/u

Mass of atom = 69.955264 amu

Mass of proton = 1.007825 amu

Mass of neutron = 1.008665 amu

Binding energy, Mev = (Zmp + Nmn - M) × 931.494MeV/u

                                    = ( 1.007825 + 1.008665 -  69.955264) × 931.494

                                    = - 67.938774 × 931.494

                                    = - 63284.56 Mev

Therefore, the binding energy in MeV per atom is - 63284.56 Mev.

When the common ion effect is in action, the equilibrium of a system will shift to: Select the correct answer below:
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

a. decrease the amount of the common ion in the system

Explanation:

The correct option is - a. decrease the amount of the common ion in the system

Reason -

Adding a common ion decreases solubility, as the reaction shifts toward the left to relieve the stress of the excess product.

Adding a common ion to a dissociation reaction causes the equilibrium to shift left, toward the reactants, causing precipitation.
