Answer:
According to Le Chatelier's principle, adding additional reactant to a system will shift the equilibrium to the right, towards the side of the products. ... If we add additional product to a system, the equilibrium will shift to the left, in order to produce more reactants.
Answer:
pKb = 10.96
Explanation:
Tartaric acid is a dyprotic acid. It reacts to water like this:
H₂Tart + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + HTart⁻ Ka1
HTart⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + Tart⁻² Ka2
When we anaylse the base, we have
Tart⁻² + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HTart⁻ Kb1
HTart⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + H₂Tart Kb2
Remember that Ka1 . Kb2 = Kw, plus pKa1 + pKb2 = 14
Kb2 = Kw / Ka1 → 1×10⁻¹⁴ / 9.20×10⁻⁴ = 1.08×10⁻¹¹
so pKb = - log Kb2 → - log 1.08×10⁻¹¹ = 10.96
Kinetic energy due to the movement
.5 mol of A will be left over since 1.5 mol of A will be used for every 3 mol of B due to the 2:1 ratio established by the formula.
