An aqueous solution of potassium sulfate exhibits colligative properties. Colligative properties are properties that depends on the concentration of a substance in a solution. These properties are freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, osmotic pressure and boiling point elevation. For this problem we use the concept of freezing point depression since we are given the freezing point of the solution. Freezing point depression is as:
ΔT = -k(f) x m x i
-2.24 - 0 = -1.86 x m x 3
<span>m = 0.4014
Thus, the molality of the solution is 0.4014.</span>
The given sentence is part of a longer question.
I found this question with the same sentence. So, I will help you using this question:
For the reaction N2O4<span>(g) ⇄ 2NO</span>2(g), a reaction mixture at a certain temperature initially contains both N2O4 and NO2 in their standard states (meaning they are gases with a pressure of 1 atm<span>). If </span>Kp = 0.15, which statement is true of the reaction mixture before
any reaction occurs?
(a) Q = K<span>; The reaction </span>is at equilibrium.
(b) Q < K<span>;
The reaction </span>will proceed to
the right.
(c) Q > K<span>; The reaction </span>will proceed to the left.
The answer is the option (c) Q > K<span>; The reaction will proceed to the </span>left,
since Qp<span> = </span>1<span>, and 1 > 0.15.</span>
Explanation:
Kp is the equilibrium constant in term of the partial pressures of the gases.
Q is the reaction quotient. It is a measure of the progress of a chemical reaction.
The reaction quotient has the same form of the equilibrium constant but using the concentrations or partial pressures at any moment.
At equilibrium both Kp and Q are equal. Q = Kp
If Q < Kp then the reaction will go to the right (forward reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium,
If Q > Kp then the reaction will go to the left (reverse reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium.
Here, the state is that both pressures are 1 atm, so Q = (1)^2 / 1 = 1.
Since, Q = 1 and Kp = 0.15, Q > Kp and the reaction will proceed to the left.
x= the coefficients in front of the substance in the balanced chemical equation
[H+]= the concentration of hydrogen ions
[A-]= the concentration of the other ion that broke off from the H+
[HA]= the un-disassociated acid concentration
The higher the Ka value, the greater amount of disassociation of the reactants into products. As for acids, they will break down to form H+ ions. The more the H+ ions, the stronger acidity of the solution. Thus since A has the highest Ka value, that represents the strongest acid.
You can determine the Ka value from a number of ways. If equilibrium concentrations are given of a certain acid solution, you can find the proportion of the concentration of ions to the concentration of the remaining HA molecules, using the equation above. Also, pH and KpH can be used in a number of ways. This gets more complicated and depends on the situation, and requires more advanced equations.
Hope this helped a little, its obviously not my best work
Answer:
physical change because even though gas formation was observed the water was undergoing a state change which means that it's original properties are preserved
