What will happen to the equilibrium between carbonic acid and bicarbonate if I add a strong base to this system?

Chemistry

Helen [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The equilibrium will shift in forward direction.

Explanation:

The equilibrium between the carbonic acid and bicarbonate ion is shown below as:

H₂CO₃ (aq) ⇔ H⁺(aq) + HCO₃²⁻(aq)

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the change in any state of the equilibrium say temperature, volume, pressure, or the concentration, the equilibrium will oppose these changes and will shift in such a way that the effect cause must be nullified.

<u>If a strong base is added to the equilibrium, the base will accept hydrogen ions which are formed in the right side of the equilibrium. Thus, there will be less hydrogen ions present and to compensate this effect, the equilibrium will shift in forward direction.</u>

At which temperature do the molecules of an ideal gas have 3 times the kinetic energy they have at 32of?
algol [13]

Answer:

  • 820 K

Explanation:

As per Boltzman equation, <em>kinetic energy (KE)</em> is in direct relation to the <em>temperature</em>, measured in absolute scale Kelvin.

  • KE α T.

Then, <em>the temperature at which the molecules of an ideal gas have 3 times the kinetic energy they have at any given temperature will be </em><em>3 times</em><em> such temperature.</em>

So, you must just convert the given temperature, 32°F, to kelvin scale.

You can do that in two stages.

  • First, convert 32°F to °C. Since, 32°F is the freezing temperature of water, you may remember that is 0°C. You can also use the conversion formula: T (°C) = [T (°F) - 32] / 1.80

  • Second, convert 0°C to kelvin:

         T (K) = T(°C) + 273.15 K= 273.15 K

Then, <u>3 times</u> gives you: 3 × 273.15 K = 819.45 K

Since, 32°F has two significant figures, you must report your answer with the same number of significan figures. That is 820 K.

For an experiment, you place 15 g of ice with a temperature of -10 C into a cup and label
melamori03 [73]
The correct answer is c. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a sample so if two samples have the same temperature they will also have the same average kinetic energy. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

A student places a small amount of water in a glass dish and then carefully places a small paperclip on the surface of the water
rosijanka [135]
Include: 
- Adding cleanser makes the paperclip fall through the water to the base of the dish. 
- Soap is a surfactant. 
- Surfactants lessen the surface pressure of a fluid. 
- The surface strain of water is the thing that upheld the paper cut.

The molar mass of a solid carboxylic acid is determined by titrating a known mass of the acid with a standardized solution of Na
laiz [17]

The answer is: II.The endpoint is recorded when the solution is dark red in color rather than light pink.

The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes colour in a colourimetric titration and that is point when titration must stop.  

Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions. If  this indicator change color to dark red, more base is added and endpoint is not accurate.

If the the acid is spilled before titration, that does not make endpoint wrong and molar mass can be calculated.

In this example we can take acetic acid as carboxylic acid; basic salt sodium acetate CH₃COONa is formed from the reaction between weak acid (in this example acetic acid CH₃COOH) and strong base (in this example sodium acetate NaOH).  

Balanced chemical reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide:  

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂O(l).  

Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base react quantitatively with each other.

If the pressure changes from 1 atm to 3 atm, what does the volume of 30 L change to
DiKsa [7]

Answer: 10L

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial pressure P1 = 1 atm

New pressure P2 = 3 atm

Initial volume V2 = 30 L

New volume V2 = ?

Since pressure and volume are involved, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

1 atm x 30L = 3 atm x V2

30 atm L = 3 atm x V2

V2 = (30 atm L / 3 atm)

V2 = 10L

Thus, volume changed to 10 liters
