Common ion effect is defined as the effect which occurs on equilibrium when a common ion (an ion which is already present in the solution) is added to a solution. This effect generally decreases the solubility of a solute.

Equilibrium reaction of HA and KA follows the equation:

$HA\rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq.)+A^{-}(aq.)$

$KA\rightleftharpoons K^+(aq.)+A^{-}(aq.)$

According to Le-Chateliers principle, if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction in order to minimize the effect.

In the equilibrium reactions, $A^-$ ion is getting increased on the product side, so the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize this effect, which is in the direction of HA.

Thus, the addition of KA will shift the equilibrium in the left direction.

Equilibrium constant depends on the temperature of the system. It does not have any effect on any change of pH.

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ions present in the solution

If the solution has high hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be low.
If the solution has low hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be high.

As, the equilibrium is shifting in the left direction, that means concentration of $H^+$ ions are getting decreases. This will increase the pH of the solution.

Hence, the correct statement is if you add the soluble salt KA to a solution of HA that is at equilibrium, the pH would increase.

A liquid occupies a volume of 5.0 L has a mass of 6.0 kg. what is the density of a the lights in kg/L

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Hey there! :

Volume = 5.0 L

mass = 6.0 Kg

Therefore:

Density = mass / Volume

Density = 6.0 / 5.0

Density = 1.2 kg/L

Which term refers to an electrochemical cell that produces an electric current?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Correct answer: Galvanic cell

Reason:
Following are the differences between Galvanic cell and electrolytic cell:
1. Galvanic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy , on other hand electrolytic cell converts electrical energy into chemical energy.
2. In galvanic cell, redox reaction is spontaneous and is responsible for the production of electrical energy. in electrolytic cell, the redox reaction is not spontaneous and electrical energy has to be supplied to initiate the reaction.

Thus, galvanic cell refers to an electrochemical cell that produces an electric current

What mass of HCL, in grams, is required to react with 0.610 g of al(oh)3 ?

kompoz [17]

Answer: 0.8541 grams of HCl will be required.

Explanation: Moles can be calculated by using the formula:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of $Al(OH)_3$ = 0.610 g

Molar mass of $Al(OH)_3$ = 78 g/mol

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{0.610g}{78g/mol}$

Number of moles of $Al(OH)_3$ = 0.0078 moles

The reaction between $Al(OH)_3$ and HCl is a type of neutralization reaction because here acid and base are reacting to form an salt and also releases water.

Chemical equation for the above reaction follows:

$Al(OH)_3+3HCl\rightarrow AlCl_3+3H_2O$
