Answer:
The balanced chemical equation: NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻
Explanation:
According to the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, the acid- base reaction is a type of chemical reaction between the acid and base to give a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.
In this reaction, a Brønsted–Lowry acid loses a proton to form a conjugate base. Whereas, a Brønsted–Lowry base accepts a proton to form a conjugate acid.
Acid + Base ⇌ Conjugate Base + Conjugate Acid
The acid dissociation constant (Kₐ) <em>signifies the acidic strength of a chemical species.</em>
∵ pKₐ = - log Kₐ
Thus for a strong acid, Kₐ value is large and pKₐ value is small.
pKₐ (HF) = 3.2 → strong acid
pKₐ (NH₃) = 38 → weak acid
<u>The chemical reaction involved in the dissolution process:</u>
NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻
In this acid-base reaction, the acid HF reacts with NH₃ base to give the conjugate base HF₂⁻ and conjugate acid NH₄⁺.
<u>HF (acid) donates a proton to form the conjugate base, HF₂⁻ ion. NH₃ (base) accepts a proton to form the conjugate acid. </u>
The activation energy Ea can be related to rate constant (k) at temperature (T) through the equation:
ln(k2/k1) = Ea/R[1/T1 - 1/T2]
where :
k1 is the rate constant at temperature T1
k2 is the rate constant at temperature T2
R = gas constant = 8.314 J/K-mol
Given data:
k1 = 0.543 s-1; T1 = 25 C = 25+273 = 298 K
k2 = 6.47 s-1; T = 47 C = 47+273 = 320 K
ln(6.47/0.543) = Ea/8.314 [1/298 - 1/320]
2.478 = 2.774 *10^-5 Ea
Ea = 0.8934*10^5 J = 89.3 kJ
