Answer:

<u><em>It shifts left</em></u>

Explanation:

The<em> equilibrium</em> equation is:

Water + Energy ⇄ Vapor

By LeChatelier's principle when a <em>system</em> in <em>equilibrium</em> is disturbed, the system will react to counteract the disturbance and restore fhe equiibrium.

When one of the substances increases, look at where it appears in the chemical equilibrium equation and determine how that increase can be compensated.

In this case, the system will try to balance the increase in vapor, which is on the right side of the equation, by consuming part of it and producing more water and energy through the reverse reaction, from right to left. Thus, the system will shift left.

In an aqueous solution of a certain acid the acid is 0.10% dissociated and the pH is 4.06. Calculate the acid dissociation const

Kruka [31]

Answer : The acid dissociation constant Ka of the acid is, $8.7\times 10^{-5}$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the concentration of hydrogen ion.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

Given: pH = 4.06

$4.06=-\log [H^+]$

$[H^+]=8.71\times 10^{-5}M$

The dissociation of acid reaction is:

$HA\rightarrow H^++A^-$

Initial conc. c 0 0

At eqm. c-cα cα cα

Given:

Degree of dissociation = α = 0.10 % = 0.001

$[H^+]=c\alpha$

$8.71\times 10^{-5}=c\times 0.001$

$c=0.0871M$

The expression of dissociation constant of acid is:

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}$

$K_a=\frac{(c\times \alpha)\times (c\times \alpha)}{(c-c\alpha)}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$K_a=\frac{(0.0871\times 0.001)\times (0.0871\times 0.001)}{(0.0871-0.0871\times 0.001)}$

$K_a=8.7\times 10^{-5}$

Thus, the acid dissociation constant Ka of the acid is, $8.7\times 10^{-5}$

Which of the following elements has the strongest ionization energy: Mg or Cl? Define ionization

Mila [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

The element Cl will have the strongest ionization energy from the given choices. Most non-metals have higher ionization energy compared to metals.

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from the gaseous phase of an atom.

As you go from left to right on the periodic table, it increases progressive
From top to bottom, the ionization energy reduces significantly.
The attractive force between the protons in the nucleus and the electrons plays a very important role.
In metals, they have very large atomic radius, the attractive force on the outer electrons is very weak.
This is not the case in non-metals

What is the pH of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 4.5 x<br> 10-6 M ?

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The pH of a solution can be found by using the formula

$pH = - log [ {H}^{+} ]$

We have

$pH = - log(4.5 \times {10}^{ - 6} ) \\ = 5.346787...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
