The
Explanation of Solution
The initial amount of
The amount of
Therefore, the
From the stoichiometric point the amount of
The amount of
Hence, the amount of
The total volume of the solution at the stoichiometric point is calculated as,
The concentration of
Therefore, the concentration of
The chemical equilibrium reactionis given below.
Initial concentration | 0.079 | 0 | 0 |
Change in concentration | -x | +x | +x |
Equilibrium concentration | 0.079-x | x | x |
The equilibrium concentration values are obtained in the above table and is substituted in above equation and is given below.
The above equation, assume that the x present in 0.079-x is very small than 0.079 then it can be negligible and it follows,
Benzoic acid
Therefore, the
Hence, the concentration of
Now, we can calculate the pH of the solution,
Hence, the

Verify this by determining the standardGibbs free energy change for the reaction of lime,CaO(s), with CO2(g) to make CaCO3(s).arrow_forwardAdenosine triphosphate, ATP, is used to store energy within biological systems. It releases that energy by losing a terminal phosphate group, Pi, to form adenosine diphosphate, ADP, through the hydrolysis reaction ATP(aq) + H2O(I) → ADP(aq) + Pi(aq) + H+(aq) . The standard reaction Gibbs energy, ΔrGΘ, for the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP is+ 10 kJ mol-1 at 298 K.This assumes that the concentration of hydrogen ions is 1 mol dm-3 .
