Answer:
In an acid-base equilibrium, acid becomes a conjugate base and base becomes a conjugate acid.
Explanation:
Let's remember the Bronsted-Lowry theory to answer this specific question. According to the theory, acid is a proton donor, while a base is a proton acceptor.
Consider an acid in a form HA (aq) and base in a form of B (aq). Since acid is a proton donor, it will donate its hydrogen ion to the base, B. The resultant products would be
(aq) and
(aq).
Remember that an acid-base reaction is an equilibrium reaction. This means we may also look at this proton transfer reaction from the product side towards the reactants. Summarizing what has been said, we may write the equilibrium as:
⇄ 
Now acid, HA, donates a proton to become a conjugate base. The conjugate base, if we look from the reverse equation side, is actually a base, since it can accept a proton to become HA. Similarly, B accepts a proton to become a conjugate acid. Looking from the reverse reaction, it can now donate a proton, so in reality we can consider it a base.
To summarize, your logic is correct.
Answer:
The value of the equilibrium constant KC is 1.244
Explanation:
A mixture initially contains A, B, and C in the following concentrations: [A] = 0.550 M, [B] = 1.40 M, and [C] = 0.600 M. The following reaction occurs and equilibrium is established: A+2B<->C
At equilibrium, [A] = 0.430 M and [C] = 0.720 M. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant, Kc
Step 1: The balanced equation
A+2B<->C
Step 2: The initial concentrations
[A] = 0.550 M
[B]= 1.40 M
[C] = 0.600 M
Step 3: The concentraions at equilibrium
[A] = 0.550 -X = 0.430 M
[B]= 1.40 -2X M
[C] = 0.600 + X = 0.720 M
X = 0.120 M
[A] = 0.550 - 0.120 = 0.430 M
[B]= 1.40 -2*0.120 = 1.16 M
[C] = 0.600 + 0.120 = 0.720 M
Step 4: Calculate Kc
Kc = [C] / [A][B]²
Kc = 0.720 / (0.430*1.16²)
Kc = 1.244
The value of the equilibrium constant KC is 1.244
Answer:
0.56L
Explanation:
This question requires the Ideal Gas Law:
where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, n is the number of moles of the gas, R is the Ideal Gas constant, and T is the Temperature of the gas.
Since all of the answer choices are given in units of Liters, it will be convenient to use a value for R that contains "Liters" in its units:
Since the conditions are stated to be STP, we must remember that STP is Standard Temperature Pressure, which means
and 
Lastly, we must calculate the number of moles of
there are. Given 0.80g of
, we will need to convert with the molar mass of
. Noting that there are 2 oxygen atoms, we find the atomic mass of O from the periodic table (16g/mol) and multiply by 2: 
Thus, 
Isolating V in the Ideal Gas Law:


...substituting the known values, and simplifying...


So, 0.80g of
would occupy 0.56L at STP.
