Question

Answer the following, include your work and reasoning

1)  Put the following three reactions in the order of increasing Kc, (smallest Kc first) 

HCOOH has Ka = 1.7 x 10-4. 

  1. HCOOH(aq)  +H2O  D HCOO-(aq)  +  H3O+(aq) 
  2. HCOOH(aq)  +OH-(aq)  D HCOO-(aq)  +  H2O 
  3. III. HCOO-(aq)  + H2O  D HCOOH(aq)  +  OH-(aq) 

2) A basic buffer solution was prepared by mixing solutions of NH3 and NH4Br. At equilibrium, the concentration ratio, [NH4+]/[NH3] was 2.50. Determine the OH- concentration in this buffer solution. NH3 is a base with Kb = 1.75 x 10-5. 

3) 

Calculate the equilibrium constant, Kc, of the reaction: 

HCO3-(aq)  +  HCO3-(aq)  ↔  H2CO3(aq)  +  CO32- , Kc = ? 

Based on your result, do you expect this reaction to occur in the left-to-right direction?
