Water containing carbonic acid and calcium
The acid dissociation constant of benzoic acid is 6.5 x 10^-5. Therefore, the pH of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate is:
pH = -log[Ka]
pH = -log (6.5 x 10^-5)
pH = 4.19
The pH of the benzoic acid solution is 4.19 which is acidic, but a weak acid.
Answer:
Heating the system
Explanation:
According to the principle of Le Chatelier, for a system at equilibrium, a specific disturbance would make the equilibrium shift toward the direction which minimizes such a disturbance.
Since we wish to shift the equilibrium to the left, this means we wish to increase the concentration of products, as an excess in their concentration would make the products react and produce more reactants in order to lower the excess concentration of products.
Since heat is also a product, an increase in heat would shift the equilibrium toward the left, as this would consume the excess of heat by producing the reactants.
a. AgBr(s)⇒ Ag⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)
b. Ksp AgBr = s²
c. 5 x 10⁻¹³ mol/L
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
solubility AgBr = 7.07 x 10⁻⁷ mol/L
Required
The dissolution reaction
Ksp
The solubility product constant
Solution
a. dissolution reaction of AgBr
AgBr(s)⇒ Ag⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)
b. Ksp
Ksp AgBr = [Ag⁺] [Br⁻]
Ksp AgBr = (s) (s)
Ksp AgBr = s²
c. Ksp AgBr = (7.07 x 10⁻⁷)² = 5 x 10⁻¹³ mol/L
