Answer:

0.084 M

Explanation:

Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a buffer ( a buffer is solution contain a weak acid and it conjugate base; the solution resist change in pH)

pH = pKa + log ( base/acid)

4.9 - 4.76 =log ( base / acid)

10^0.14 =  ( base / acid)

1.38 = (base / acid)

since there is 0.2 M in the buffer solution

the concentration of acid =  \frac{1}{(1+1.38)} × 0.2 = 0.084 M

Which trend is observed as the first four elements in group 17 on the periodic table are considered in order of increasing atomi
s344n2d4d5 [400]

ANSWER:

The melting and boiling points increase in order of increasing atomic number.

The size of the nucleus increases in order of increasing atomic number.

Ionization energy decreases in order of increasing atomic number.

Electronegativity decreases in order of increasing atomic number.

Electron Affinity decreases in order of increasing atomic number.

The reactivities decrease in order of increasing atomic number.

EXPLANATION:

NAME     MELTING POINT    BOILING POINT

Fluorine    -220              -188

Chlorine          -101                       -35

Bromine           -7.2                58.8

Iodine            114                184

Melting and Boiling points increase as shown above.

NAME     COVALENT RADIUS    IONIC RADIUS

Fluorine    71                        133

Chlorine          99                          181

Bromine           114                  196

Iodine            133                 220

Size increases as shown above.

NAME            FIRST IONIZATION ENERGY

Fluorine              1681

Chlorine             1251

Bromine              1140

Iodine               1008

Ionization energy decreases as shown above.

NAME        ELECTRONEGATIVITY

Fluorine     4

Chlorine           3

Bromine           2.8

Iodine            2.5

Electronegativity decreases as shown above.

NAME      ELECTRON AFFINITY

Fluorine    -328.0

Chlorine    -349.0

Bromine    -324.6

Iodine     -295.2

Electron affinity decreases as shown above.

REACTIVITY

The reactivities of the halogens decrease. This is due to the fact that atomic radius increases in proportion with an increase of electronic energy levels. This decreases the pull for valence electrons of other atoms, minimizing reactivity.

daser333 [38]
Hello! Your question seems incomplete, still I will try to answer it in a general way. As shown in in equation 22 KJ heat is absorbed during the reaction so it is endothermic reaction.

Effect of Temperature:
According to Le Chatelier's principle, by increasing temperature the equilibrium will shift in the forward direction hence more nitrogen and hydrogen will produce.

Effect of Pressure:
It is evident from the reaction that there is an increase in volume in the formation of N2 and H2 (4 moles in whole), Hence, decrease in pressure on this system in equilibrium state will adjust itself in a direction in which the volume is increased i.e. formation of N2 and H2.

Effect of Concentration:
Increasing concentration of NH3, removal of N2 or removal of H2 will shift the equilibrium in forward direction, Hence more product is formed.
