Answer:
- [HOCl] = 0.00909 mol/liter
- [H₂O] = 0.03901 mol/liter
- [Cl₂O] = 0.02351 mol/liter
Explanation:
<u />
<u>1. Chemical reaction:</u>
<u>2. Initial concentrations:</u>
i) 1.3 g H₂O
- Number of moles = 1.3g / (18.015g/mol) = 0.07216 mol
- Molarity, M = 0.07216 mol / 1.5 liter = 0.0481 mol/liter
ii) 2.2 g Cl₂O
- Number of moles = 2.2 g/ (67.45 g/mol) = 0.0326 mol
- Molarity = 0.0326mol / 1.5 liter = 0.0217 mol/liter
<u>3. ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table</u>
I 0.0481 0.0326 0
C -x -x +x
E 0.0481-x 0.0326-x x
<u />
<u>4. Equilibrium expression</u>
<u />
<u>5. Solve:</u>
Use the quadatic formula:
The positive result is x = 0.00909
Thus the concentrations are:
- [HOCl] = 0.00909 mol/liter
- [H₂O] = 0.0481 - 0.00909 = 0.03901 mol/liter
- [Cl₂O] = 0.0326 - 0.00909 = 0.02351 mol/liter
