Answer:
The concentration of KOH is 0.186 M
Explanation:
First things first, we need too write out the balanced equation between HBr and KOH.
This is given as;
KOH (aq) + HBr (aq) → KBr (aq) + H2O (l)
From the reaction above, we can tell that it takes 1 mole of KOH to react with 1 mole of HBr.
We use the acid base formular in calculating unknown concentrations. This is given as;
where;
Ca = Concentration of acid
Va = Volume of acid
Cb = Concentration of base
Vb = Volume of base
na = Number of moles of acid
nb = Number of moles of base
KOH is the base and HBr is acid.
Hence;
Ca = 0.225
Va = 35
Cb = ?
Vb = 42.3
na = 1
nb = 1
Making Cb subject of formular we have;
Cb = (0.225 * 35 * 1) / (42.3 * 1)
Cb = 0.186 M
This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.
Consider the reaction:

- CO 0.360
- NO 0.180
- CO₂ 0.120
Possible answers:
1) not at equilibrium and will remain in an unequilibrated state.
2) not at equilibrium and will shift to the left to achieve an equilibrium state.
3) not at equilibrium and will shift to the right to achieve an equilibrium state.
4) at equilibrium
Answer : The correct option is, (2) not at equilibrium and will shift to the left to achieve an equilibrium state.
Explanation:
Reaction quotient (Qc) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.
First we have to determine the value of reaction quotient (Qc).
The given balanced chemical reaction is,
The expression for reaction quotient will be :
In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get
Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.
There are 3 conditions:
When that means product > reactant. So, the reaction is reactant favored.
When that means reactant > product. So, the reaction is product favored.
When that means product = reactant. So, the reaction is in equilibrium.
The given equilibrium constant value is,
From the above we conclude that, the that means reactant < product. So, the reaction is reactant favored that means reaction must shift to the reactant or left to be in equilibrium.
Hence, the correct option is, (2) not at equilibrium and will shift to the left to achieve an equilibrium state.
