Answer to Problem 15.54QA
Solution:
The
Explanation of Solution
1) Concept:
We are asked to determine the
The acid ionization reaction for
The dissociation constant expression for the acid is written as
2) Formula:
i)
ii)
3) Given:
i) A
ii) Mass percent of solution is given as
iii) Ionization is given as
iv) Initial concentration of the nitric acid is given as
4) Calculations:
From the given percent dissociation, we can find the
The equilibrium concentration of
We can set up a RICE table to solve this problem.
Reaction | |||
Initial (I) | |||
Change (C) | |||
Equilibrium (E) |
At equilibrium,
The equilibrium concentration for the acid is
Inserting the equilibrium values for all the species in the
Thus, the acid dissociation constant value for the strong acid
Conclusion:
The Ka value is calculated from the initial concentration and percent dissociation by using RICE table.
