Answer : The value of equilibrium constant (K) is, 424.3
Explanation : Given,
Concentration of at equilibrium = 0.067 mol
Concentration of at equilibrium = 0.021 mol
Concentration of at equilibrium = 0.040 mol
The given chemical reaction is:
The expression for equilibrium constant is:
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:
Thus, the value of equilibrium constant (K) is, 424.3
<u>Answer:</u> The final equation has hydroxide ions which indicate that the reaction has occurred in a basic medium.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously.
The oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species increases.
A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species decreases.
The given redox reaction follows:
To balance the given redox reaction in basic medium, there are few steps to be followed:
Oxidation half-reaction:
Reduction half-reaction:
Oxidation half-reaction: ( × 3)
Reduction half-reaction: ( × 2)
The half-reactions now become:
Oxidation half-reaction:
Reduction half-reaction:
Overall redox reaction:
As we can see that in the overall redox reaction, hydroxide ions are released in the solution. Thus, making it a basic solution
