Answer:

a) HC₂H₃O₂, C₂H₃O₂⁻, H₃O⁺, H₂O, OH⁻

b) HC₂H₃O₂ + LiOH ⇄ H₂O + LiC₂H₃O₂

c) C₂H₃O₂⁻ + HBr ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + Br⁻

Explanation:

a) In a HC₂H₃O₂/C₂H₃O₂⁻ buffer system, the following reactions take place:

HC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O ⇄ C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₃O⁺

C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + OH⁻

Thus, the species present are: HC₂H₃O₂, C₂H₃O₂⁻, H₃O⁺, H₂O, OH⁻.

b) When LiOH is added to the buffer system, it is partially neutralized according to the following equation.

HC₂H₃O₂ + LiOH ⇄ H₂O + LiC₂H₃O₂

c) When HBr is added to the buffer system, it is partially neutralized according to the following equation.

C₂H₃O₂⁻ + HBr ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + Br⁻

The visible spectrum of the Cr(acac)3
Sati [7]

Explanation:

The observable visible spectrum of Cr(acac)3 complex is different from that of

[Cr(en)3]Br3 due to strength of bonded ligand in the coordination sphere.

en is a strong field ligand compared to acac thus pairing  occurs. In both the complexes

Cr is in +3 state, configuration [Ar] 3d^3. There are 3 unpaired e in Cr(acac)3 whereas 1 unpaired e in [Cr(en)3]Br3 due to pairing.

At 450°C, ammonia gas will decompose according to the following equation: 2 NH3 (g)  N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) Kc = 4.50 at 475˚C An u
velikii [3]

Answer:

0.2024 M

Explanation:

For the decomposition reactio given, let's do an equilibrium chart. Let's call the initial concentration of NH₃ as C:

2NH₃(g) ⇄ N₂(g) + 3H₂(g)

C 0 0 Initial

-2x +x +3x Reacts (stoichiometry is 1:1:3)

C - 2x x 3x Equilibrium

3x = 0.252

x = 0.084 M

The equilibrium constant (Kc) is the multiplication of the concentrations of the products elevated by their coefficients, divided by the multiplication of reactants concentrations elevated by their coefficients.

Kc = ([H₂]³*[N₂])/([NH₃]²)

4.50 = [(0.252)³*(0.084)]/(C - 2*0.084)²

4.50 = 0.00533/(C - 0.168)²

4.50 = 0.00533/(C² - 0.336C + 0.028224)

4.50C² - 1.512C + 0.127008 = 0.00533

4.50C² - 1.512C + 0.121678 = 0

Solving the equation by a graphic calculator, for C > 0.168

C = 0.2024 M
