This question comes with four answer choices:

A. H2O + H2O ⇄ 2H2 + O2

B. H2O + H2O⇄ H2O2 + H2

C. H2O + H2O ⇄ 4H+ + 2O2-

D. H2O + H2O ⇄ H3O+ + OH-

Answer: option D. H2O + H2O ⇄ H3O+ + OH-

(the +sign next to H3O is a superscript, as well as the - sing next to OH)

Explanation:

The self-ionization of water, or autodissociation, produces the two ions H3O(+) and OH(-). The presence of ions is what explain the electrical conductivity of pure water.

In this, one molecule of H2O loses a proton (H+) (deprotonates) to become a hydroxide ion, OH−. Then, he hydrogen ion, H+, immediately protonates another water molecule to form hydronium, H3O+.

vredina [299]

Answer : The correct expression for equilibrium constant will be:

$K_c=\frac{[C]^8}{[A]^4[B]^2}$

Explanation :

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is determined by multiplying the concentrations of products and divided by the concentrations of the reactants and each concentration is raised to the power that is equal to the coefficient in the balanced reaction.

As we know that the concentrations of pure solids and liquids are constant that is they do not change. Thus, they are not included in the equilibrium expression.

The given equilibrium reaction is,

$4A+2B\rightleftharpoons 8C$

The expression of $K_c$ will be,

$K_c=\frac{[C]^8}{[A]^4[B]^2}$

Therefore, the correct expression for equilibrium constant will be, $K_c=\frac{[C]^8}{[A]^4[B]^2}$
