<span>The answer is "D" where the number of collisions per unit area is reduced by one-half. Drawing back on the piston means the volume is increased. The pressure is reduced. There are fewer collisions when the pressure is reduced.</span>
Answer:
Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴
Explanation:
<em>HF = 1.62g</em>
<em>H₂O = 516g</em>
<em>F⁻ = 0.163g</em>
<em>H₃O⁺ = 0.110g</em>
<em />
To solve this question we need to find the moles of each reactant in order to solve the molar concentration of each reactan and replacing in the Kc expression. For the reaction, the Kc is:
Kc = [H₃O⁺] [F⁻] / [HF]
<em>Because Kc is defined as the ratio between concentrations of products over reactants powered to its reaction coefficient. Pure liquids as water are not taken into account in Kc expression:</em>
<em />
[H₃O⁺] = 0.110g * (1mol /19.01g) = 0.00579moles / 5.6L = 1.03x10⁻³M
[F⁻] = 0.163g * (1mol /19.0g) = 0.00858moles / 5.6L = 1.53x10⁻³M
[HF] = 1.62g * (1mol /20g) = 0.081moles / 5.6L = 0.0145M
Kc = [1.03x10⁻³M] [1.53x10⁻³M] / [0.0145M]
<h3>Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴</h3>
