<span>Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the number of molecules [or ions] in a given volume of solvent and not on the properties (e.g. size or mass) of the compound. Colligative properties include: lowering of vapor pressure; elevation of boiling point; depression of freezing point and osmotic pressure.</span>
The answer for this issue is:
The chemical equation is: HBz + H2O <- - > H3O+ + Bz-
Ka = 6.4X10^-5 = [H3O+][Bz-]/[HBz]
Let x = [H3O+] = [Bz-], and [HBz] = 0.5 - x.
Accept that x is little contrasted with 0.5 M. At that point,
Ka = 6.4X10^-5 = x^2/0.5
x = [H3O+] = 5.6X10^-3 M
pH = 2.25
(x is without a doubt little contrasted with 0.5, so the presumption above was OK to make)
Homogeneous Reactions. At equilibrium, the rate of the forward and reverse reaction are equal, which is demonstrated by the arrows. The equilibrium constant, however, gives the ratio of the units (pressure or concentration) of the products to the reactants when the reaction is at equilibrium.
The answer to this question I think would be 2: Better
