Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $K_{\text{c}}$ for the reaction is given. If $\text{25}\text{.0 mL}$ of $\text{0}\text{.905 M}$ solution of ${\text{NaIO}}_{\text{4}}$ is diluted with water to $\text{500}\text{.0 mL}$ , the concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{4}}{\text{IO}}_{\text{6}}{}^{\text{-}}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The equilibrium constant ( $K_{\text{c}}$ ) for a particular reaction tells about the extent up to which the reaction will proceeds. If its value is large, then the concentration of products will predominate at equilibrium and if it value is small, the equilibrium mixture will contain substances on the reactants side.

To determine: The concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{4}}{\text{IO}}_{\text{6}}{}^{\text{-}}$ in the solution of $\text{25}\text{.0 mL}$ of $\text{0}\text{.905 M}$ solution of ${\text{NaIO}}_{\text{4}}$ diluted with water to $\text{500}\text{.0 mL}$ .
