For the generic equilibrium HA(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + A−(aq), which of these statements is true? For the generic equilibrium , which of

these statements is true? If you add the soluble salt KA to a solution of HA that is at equilibrium, the concentration of HA would decrease. If you add the soluble salt KA to a solution of HA that is at equilibrium, the pH would increase. The equilibrium constant for this reaction changes as the pH changes. If you add the soluble salt KA to a solution of HA that is at equilibrium, the concentration of A− would decrease.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct statement is if you add the soluble salt KA to a solution of HA that is at equilibrium, the pH would increase.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Common ion effect is defined as the effect which occurs on equilibrium when a common ion (an ion which is already present in the solution) is added to a solution. This effect generally decreases the solubility of a solute.

Equilibrium reaction of HA and KA follows the equation:

HA\rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq.)+A^{-}(aq.)

KA\rightleftharpoons K^+(aq.)+A^{-}(aq.)

According to Le-Chateliers principle, if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction in order to minimize the effect.

In the equilibrium reactions, A^- ion is getting increased on the product side, so the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize this effect, which is in the direction of HA.

Thus, the addition of KA will shift the equilibrium in the left direction.

Equilibrium constant depends on the temperature of the system. It does not have any effect on any change of pH.

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ions present in the solution

  • If the solution has high hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be low.
  • If the solution has low hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be high.

As, the equilibrium is shifting in the left direction, that means concentration of H^+ ions are getting decreases. This will increase the pH of the solution.

Hence, the correct statement is if you add the soluble salt KA to a solution of HA that is at equilibrium, the pH would increase.

An aqueous solution of iron(II) iodide has a concentration of 0.215 molal. The percent by mass of iron(II) iodide in the solutio
Basile [38]

Answer:

6.24%

Explanation:

Molality by definition means a measurement of the number of moles of solute in solution with 1000 gm or 1Kg solvent. Notice the difference that Molarity is defined on the volume of solution and Molality on the mass of solvent.

So, An aqueous solution of iron(II) iodide has a concentration of 0.215 molal.

means 0.215 moles are present in 1 Kg of solvent.

The molar mass of Fe2I = 309.65 g / mole

mass of FeI2 = moles x molar mass

= 0.215 x 309.65

=66.57 gm

mass % of FeI2 = mass of FeI2 x 100 / total mass

= 66.57x 100 / (1000 +66.57)

= 6.24%

The main reason that cs2 has a higher boiling point than co2 is that cs2
OlgaM077 [116]

Explanation:

Inspite of having similar intermolecular forces, CS2 has a higher boiling point than CO2, since it has a greater molar mass. The potential energy of molecules reduces until a certain level as they get closer to each other. Although the polarity of both CO2 and CS2 are cancelled because of their linear structure.
