**Understanding the Equilibrium Constant Expression**The image presents a task to write the equilibrium constant expression, \( K \), for the given chemical reaction occurring in a dilute aqueous solution.**Given Reaction:**\[ \text{HCN (aq) + OH}^- \text{ (aq)} \rightleftharpoons \text{CN}^- \text{ (aq) + H}_2\text{O (l)} \]**Steps to Write the Equilibrium Constant \( K \):**1. **Identify the Reactants and Products:** - Reactants: HCN (aq) and \( \text{OH}^- \) (aq) - Products: \( \text{CN}^- \) (aq) and \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \) (l) 2. **Expression of the Equilibrium Constant \( K \):** - The equilibrium constant expression for a reaction is given by the ratio of the product of the concentrations of the products to the product of the concentrations of the reactants, each raised to the power of their respective coefficients in the balanced equation.3. **Exclude Pure Liquids:** - Note that \( \text{H}_2\text{O (l)} \) is a pure liquid and its concentration is not included in the equilibrium expression.4. **Write the Expression:** \[ K = \frac{[\text{CN}^- \text{ (aq)}]}{[\text{HCN (aq)}][\text{OH}^- \text{ (aq)}]} \]In the provided image, the steps to formulate this equilibrium constant \( K \) are visually guided by two rectangular input boxes to fill in the chemical species and a line representing the division in the ratio: - The top box of the ratio would contain the concentration term for \( \text{CN}^- \) (aq). - The bottom box of the ratio would contain the product of the concentration terms for HCN (aq) and \( \text{OH}^- \) (aq).This presentation ensures that learners clearly understand the components and structure of the equilibrium constant expression for the given chemical reaction.

For the reaction aA(aq) + bB(1) cC(g) + dD(aq) the equilibrium constant, K, can be written as Pc- [D]d [A]a K= The equilibrium constant is unitless because the units always mathematically cancel when the pressure is expressed in torr and concentration is expressed in molality. each quantity is a dimensionless ratio of the actual concentration or pressure divided by standard state concentration or pressure. pressure and concentration are unitless quantities. taking each pressure or concentration to its coefficient power cancels out the units.

A chemical system is set up by placing some solid ammonium chloride in an ammonia solution. The equilibrium established can be represented as follows: NH4*(aq) + H2O(e) 2 H30*(aq) + NH3(aq) The pH of the solution is taken, then a small amount of NaOH(aq) is added and the pH is taken again. What can be said about the change in pH for the solution? The pH significantly increases because a strong base has been added to the solution. The pH significantly decreases because a strong base has been added to the solution. There is very little change to the pH of the solution. If anything the pH of the solution decreases slightly. There is very little change to the pH of the solution. If anything the pH of the solution increases slightly.
