The answer is [OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻⁴.
[OH⁻] = H₂O ÷ [H₃O⁺]
[OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴ / 1 x 10⁻¹⁰
[OH⁻] = 10⁻⁴
Answer:
Explanation:
For a general equilibrium
aA +bB ⇔ cC + dD ,
the equilibrium constant is K = [C]^c [D]^d / [A]^a[B]^b.
Our reasoning here should be based on the fact that Q has the same expression as K, but is used when the system is not at equilibrium, and the system will react to make Q = K to attain it ( Le Chatelier´s principle ).
So with this in mind, lets answer this question.
1. False: Q can large or small but is not the value of the equilibrium constant, it will predict the side towards the equilibrium will shift to attain it.
2. False: Given the expression for the equilibrium constant, we know if K is small the concentrations of the reactants will be large compared to the equilibrium concentrations of the products.
3. False: when the value of K is large, the equilibrium concentrations of the products will be large and it will lie on the product side.
4. True: From our previous reasongs this is the true one.
5. False: If K is small, the equilibrium lies on the reactants side.
The answer would be that "<span>the forces holding the nucleus together are much stronger than the repulsion between the protons".
