Interpretation:
The mistake in the expression of the equilibrium constant is be found and fixed.
Concept Introduction:
In general equilibrium constant is a way by which relative concentration of reactants and products at equilibrium can be quantified.
The equilibrium constant is the ratio of concentrations of products to that of reactants each raised to the power of their respective
For a
The equilibrium expression can be written as:

- Chromium(VI) forms two different oxyanions, the orange dichromate ion, Cr2O72 , and the yellow chromate ion, CrO42 . (See the following photos.) The equilibrium reaction between the two ions is Cr2O72(aq)+H2O(l)2CrO42(aq)+2H+(aq) Explain why orange dichromate solutions turn yellow when sodium hydroxide is added.arrow_forwardThe photographs below (a) show what occurs when a solution of iron(III) nitrate is treated with a few drops of aqueous potassium thiocyanate. The nearly colorless iron(III) ion is converted to a red [Fe(H2O)5SCN)2+ ion. (This is a classic test for the presence of iron(III) ions in solution.) [Fe(H2O)6]3+(aq) + SCN(aq) [Fe(H2O)5SCN]2+(aq) + H2O() (a) As more KSCN is added to the solution, the color becomes even more red. Explain this observation. (b) Silver ions form a white precipitate with SCN ions. What would you observe on adding a few drops of aqueous silver nitrate to a red solution of [Fe(H2O)5 SCN]+ ions? Explain your observation.arrow_forwardAn electrochemical cell consists of a nickel metal electrode immersed in a solution with [Ni2+] = 1.0 M separated by a porous disk from an aluminum metal electrode immersed in a solution with [Al3+] = 1.0 M. Sodium hydroxide is added to the aluminum compartment, causing Al(OH)3(s) to precipitate. After precipitation of Al(OH)3 has ceased, the concentration of OH is 1.0 104 M and the measured cell potential is 1.82 V. Calculate the Ksp value for Al(OH)3. Al(OH)3(s)Al3+(aq)+3OH(aq)Ksp=?arrow_forward
- What is the solubility of silver oxide, Ag2O, in a solution buffered at pH 10.78? The equilibrium is Ag2O(s) + H2O(l) 2Ag+(aq) + 2OH (aq); Kc = 2.0 108.arrow_forwardAssuming that no equilibria other than dissolution are involved, calculate the concentrations of ions in a saturated solution of each of the following (see Appendix J for solubility products): (a) Agl. (b) Ag2SO4. (c) Mn(OH)2.
