Interpretation:
For the reaction,
Concept introduction:
A reversible reaction is said to be in equilibrium when the rate of the forward and reverse reaction becomes equal. If the equilibrium constant is small, the rate of the backward reaction will be more than the rate of the forward reaction. Collision theory states that a reaction can only occur if reactant molecules collide with each other.

- Complete each of these reactions by filling in the blanks. Predict whether each reaction is product-favored or reactant-favored, and explain your reasoning. (a) _________ (aq) + Br(aq) NH3(aq) + HBr(aq) (b) CH3COOH(aq) + CN(aq) ________ (aq) + HCN(aq) (c) ________ (aq)+H2O () NH3(aq) + OH(aq)arrow_forwardThe pigment cyanidin aglycone is one of the anthocyanin molecules that gives red cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra) its characteristic red coloration. Many chemistry students have used this red cabbage indicator to study acid-base chemistry. Estimate tire pH range at which cyanidin agly-cone shows a color change. Anth-H(aq) Anth(aq) + H+ (aq) Ka = 1.3 107arrow_forwardHypothetically, if you were assigned lead(II) hydroxide as your unknown, calculate the expected concentration of hydroxide (in mM) at equilibrium Pb(OH)2 1.2 ×× 10−15arrow_forward
- Saccharin, a sugar substitute, is a weak acid with the formula, HC7H4NSO3. The pKa of saccharin is 2.320. d. What are the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products in a 0.100M solution of saccharin? e. What is the pH, pOH, and %ionization of this weak acid?arrow_forwardMethanoic acid is also called formic acid. It has the chemical formula HCOOH(l). It is a colourless fuming liquid that is mainly used as a preservative. It exhibits the following equilibrium in water:HCOOH(aq) + H2O(l) → HCOO–(aq) + H3O+(aq) 4) The concentration of the hydroxide ion, OH-(aq), in an aqueous solution is 2.5 x 10–3 mol/L.

What is the difference between a monoprotic acid, a diprotic acid, and a triprotic acid? Most polyprotic acids are weak acids; the major exception is H2SO4. To solve for the pH of a solution of H2SO4, you must generally solve a strong acid problem as well as a weak acid problem. Explain. Write out the reactions that refer to Ka1 and Ka2 for H2SO4. For H3PO4, Ka1 = 7.5 103, Ka2 = 6.2 108, and Ka3= 4.8 1013. Write out the reactions that refer to the Ka1, Ka2and Ka3equilibrium constants. What are the three acids in a solution of H3PO4?

- Most naturally occurring acids are weak acids. Lactic acid is one example. CH3CH(OH)CO2H(s)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+CH3CH(OH)CO2(aq) If you place some lactic acid in water, it will ionize to a small extent, and an equilibrium will be established. Suggest some experiments to prow that this is a weak acid and that the establishment of equilibrium is a reversible process.arrow_forwardWrite the chemical equation and the expression for the equilibrium constant, and calculate Kb for the reaction of each of the following ions as a base.
