Chapter 13, Problem 184CP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The value of equilibrium constant, relationship between $\left[{\text{H}}_2{\text{CO}}_3\right]$ and $\left[{\text{CO}}_3^{2-}\right]$ at equilibrium,. expression for $\text{pH}$ in terms of $K_{{\text{a}}_1}$ and $K_{{\text{a}}_2}$, $\text{pH}$ of ${\text{NaHCO}}_3$.

Concept introduction: The equilibrium constant is defined as the numeric number that describes the relationship between amount of product and amount of reactant at equilibrium. The $\text{pH}$ is the scale that measures the power of hydrogen ion concentration of a species.

To determine: The value of equilibrium constant.
