Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
How a buffered solution resists changes in the pH of the solution should be explained?
Concept Introduction:
A buffered solution is a solution that resists a change in its pH on addition of a strong acid or base. A solution is buffered by the presence of a weak acid HA and its conjugated base A-.

6. The equilibrium constant for the reaction
2 HBr (g)
→ H2(g) + Br2(g)
Can be expressed by the empirical formula
11790 K
In K-6.375 + 0.6415 In(T K-¹)
-
T
Use this formula to determine A,H as a function of temperature. Calculate A,-H at 25 °C and at
100 °C.
3. Nitrosyl chloride, NOCI, decomposes according to
2 NOCI (g) → 2 NO(g)
+ Cl2(g)
Assuming that we start with no moles of NOCl (g) and no NO(g) or Cl2(g), derive an expression
for Kp in terms of the equilibrium value of the extent of reaction, Seq, and the pressure, P.
Given that K₂ = 2.00 × 10-4, calculate Seq/
of
29/no when P = 0.080 bar. What is the new value
по
ƒª/ at equilibrium when P = 0.160 bar? Is this result in accord with Le Châtelier's
Principle?
Consider the following chemical equilibrium:
2SO2(g) + O2(g) = 2SO3(g)
•
Write the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction.
Now compare it to the equilibrium constant expression for the related reaction:
•
.
1
SO2(g) + O2(g) = SO3(g)

What important principle about the dependence of equilibrium constants on the stoichiometry of a
reaction can you learn from this comparison?

Assume that the energy required to break a hydrogen bond is approximately 8 kJ/mol. Consider a simplified two-state model where a "formed" hydrogen bond is in the ground state and a "broken" bond is in the excited state. Using this model: • Calculate the fraction of broken hydrogen bonds at T = 300 K, and also at T = 273 K and T = 373 K. • At what temperature would approximately 50% of the hydrogen bonds be broken? • What does your result imply about the accuracy or limitations of the two-state model in describing hydrogen bonding in water? Finally, applying your understanding: • Would you expect it to be easier or harder to vaporize water at higher temperatures? Why?
