Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle,  when a system is in equilibrium for a long time then it will change its concentration, temperature, volume or pressure to attain a new equilibrium that partly counteracts the applied change.

Since it is given that reaction is exothermic therefore, according to Le Chatelier's principle increase in temperature will be opposed so that reaction can proceed in the forward direction. Therefore, temperature has to be decreased to carry the reaction in forward direction.

Whereas pressure has to be increased so that reaction will shift to the forward side where there are less number of molecules.

Thus, we can conclude that to increase the yield of the products for the given reaction decrease the temperature and increase the pressure.

Hydrofluoric acid, hf, has a ka of 6.8 × 10−4. what are [h3o+], [f−], and [oh−] in 0.710 m hf?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

[H₃O⁺] = [F⁻] = 2.2 x 10⁻² M. & [OH⁻] = 4.55 x 10⁻¹³.

Explanation:

  • For a weak acid like HF, the dissociation of HF will be:

<em>HF + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + F⁻.</em>

[H₃O⁺] = [F⁻].

<em>∵ [H₃O⁺] = √Ka.C,</em>

Ka = 6.8 x 10⁻⁴, C = 0.710 M.

∴ [H₃O⁺] = √Ka.C = √(6.8 x 10⁻⁴)(0.710) = 2.197 x 10⁻² M ≅ 2.2 x 10⁻² M.

<em>∴ [H₃O⁺] = [F⁻] = 2.2 x 10⁻² M.</em>

<em></em>

∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.

<em>∴ [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/[H₃O⁺]</em> = 10⁻¹⁴/(2.2 x 10⁻²) = <em>4.55 x 10⁻¹³.</em>

Urea (CH4N2O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH3) with carbon dioxide as follows: 2N
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

NH3

Explanation:

2NH3(aq)+CO2(aq)→CH4N2O(aq)+H2O(l)

So for two moles of NH3 we need one mole of CO2. So let's count moles for each reagent.

n(NH3)=m(NH3)/M(NH3)=135700/17,03=7968.29 mol

n(CO2)=m(CO2)/M(CO2)=211400/44.01=4803.45 mol

From equation we have to divide n(NH3) by 2 because we need two equivalent per one CO2. That will be 3984.145. So the limiting agent is NH3 because it's not enough of it to react with all CO2
