I think it's E. heating of water
Because exothermic process discharges heat, causing the temperature of the prompt environment to rise
Please correct me if I'm wrong!! I'd be happy to fix it!! :)
The options are labelled as:
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
Protons: 1, 5, 7
Neutrons: 2, 8
Electron: 3, 4, 6
To fully understand the problem, we use the ICE table to identify the concentration of the species. We calculate as follows:
Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = [H+][OBr-] / [HOBr]
HOBr = 0.50 M
KOBr = 0.30 M = OBr-
<span> HOBr + H2O <-> H+ + OBr- </span>
<span>I 0.50 - 0 0.30 </span>
<span>C -x x x
</span>---------------------------------------------
<span>E(0.50-x) x (0.30+x) </span>
<span>Assuming that the value of x is small as compared to 0.30 and 0.50 </span>
<span>Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = x (0.30) / 0.50) </span>
<span>x = 3.33 x 10^-9 = H+</span>
pH = 8.48
