Answer:

[H₂A] = 0.2M

[HA⁻] = 0.8M

Explanation:

A compound with 2 ionizable groups has as equilbriums:

H₂A ⇄ HA⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ A²⁻ + H⁺

A pH of 6.8 is near to the first equilibrium:

H₂A ⇄ HA⁻ + H pKa = 6.2

To determine concentrations of the acid H₂A and conjugate base HA⁻ we use H-H equation:

pH = pKA + log [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

6.8 = 6.2 + log [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

0.6 = log [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

3.981 = [HA⁻] / [H₂A] <em>(1)</em>

As concentration of the buffer is 1.0M:

1M = [HA⁻] + [H₂A] <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

3.981 = 1- [H₂A] / [H₂A]

3.981[H₂A] = 1 - [H₂A]

4.981 [H₂A] = 1

[H₂A] = 0.2M

And [HA] = 1M - 0.2M = 0.8M

How does an increase in temperature affect the equilibrium concentration of the underlined substance and K for each of the follo
Darya [45]

Explanation:

Due to the positive value of the change in temperature, this is an endothermic reaction.

Since the forward reaction is endothermic, increasing the temperature increases the equilibrium constant (k).

In an equilibrium system, the position of the equilibrium will move in a way to annul the change made to the system. An increase in temperature for an endothermic reaction would favour the reaction, leading to increase in amount of products and decrease in amount of reactants.

Hydrogen boils at 20k. what is the boiling point of hydrogen on the celsius scale
Dimas [21]

Celsius scale is related to kelvin scale by the following equation,

⁰C = K-273

°C = K-273  

So as here temperature is given in kelvin, so it can be converted into celsius as follows:

So 20 K = 20K-273 °C  

= -253 °C .

So, the 20 K temperature equals to -253 °C.

So , -253 °C is equals to  20 K or 20 K temperature equals to -253 °C.
