Question

Consider the following reaction.
HSO4 – (aq) + H2O (l) H3O+ (aq) + SO4 2–(aq)

Ka = 0.012

If the initial concentrations are [HSO4–] = 0.50 M, [H3O+] = 0.020 M, and [SO4 2–] = 0.060 M, what are the equilibrium concentrations of the products and reactants?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given : Ka = 0.012

initial concentrations are [HSO4–] = 0.50 M, [H3O+] = 0.020 M, and [SO4 2–] = 0.060 M

Products are : H3O+ (aq) + SO4^2– (aq)

Reactants are : HSO4^– (aq) + H2O (l)

so, Concentration of H2O is always fixed , so no need to find concentration of water at equilibrium as it will be

1M always.
