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.

The vapor pressure of ethanol is 30°C at 98.5 mmHg and the heat of vaporization is 39.3 kJ/mol. Determine the normal boiling poi
Gelneren [198K]

Answer : The normal boiling point of ethanol will be, 348.67K or 75.67^oC

Explanation :

The Clausius- Clapeyron equation is :

\ln (\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R}\times (\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2})

where,

P_1 = vapor pressure of ethanol at 30^oC = 98.5 mmHg

P_2 = vapor pressure of ethanol at normal boiling point = 1 atm = 760 mmHg

T_1 = temperature of ethanol = 30^oC=273+30=303K

T_2 = normal boiling point of ethanol = ?

\Delta H_{vap} = heat of vaporization = 39.3 kJ/mole = 39300 J/mole

R = universal constant = 8.314 J/K.mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\ln (\frac{760mmHg}{98.5mmHg})=\frac{39300J/mole}{8.314J/K.mole}\times (\frac{1}{303K}-\frac{1}{T_2})

T_2=348.67K=348.67-273=75.67^oC

Hence, the normal boiling point of ethanol will be, 348.67K or 75.67^oC

What are some examples of physical changes?
Ludmilka [50]

Some examples of physical changes are:

Breaking a glass

Chopping wood

Tearing paper

Mixing sand and water

Melting an ice cube

These all are physical changes because the composition of the matter does not change.

47.0ml of a HBr solution were titrated with 37.5ml of a 0.215M LiOH solution to reach the equivalence point. what is the molarit
faltersainse [42]

Hello!

The molarity of the HBr solution is 0,172 M.

Why?

The neutralization reaction between LiOH and HBr is the following:

HBr(aq) + LiOH(aq) → LiBr(aq) + H₂O(l)

To solve this exercise, we are going to apply the common titration equation:

M1*V1=M2*V2

M1=\frac{M2*V2}{V1}= \frac{0,215 M * 37,5 mL}{47 mL}=0,172 M

Have a nice day!
