(a)
Interpretation:
For the reaction,
Concept introduction:
A reversible reaction is said to be in equilibrium when the rate of the forward and reverse reaction becomes equal. If the equilibrium constant is small, the rate of the backward reaction will be more than the rate of the forward reaction. Collision theory states that a reaction can only occur if reactant molecules collide with each other.

Most polyprotic acids are weak acids; the major exception is H2SO4. To solve for the pH of a solution of H2SO4, you must generally solve a strong acid problem as well as a weak acid problem. Explain. Write out the reactions that refer to Ka1 and Ka2 for H2SO4. For H3PO4, Ka1 = 7.5 103, Ka2 = 6.2 108, and Ka3= 4.8 1013. Write out the reactions that refer to the Ka1, Ka2and Ka3equilibrium constants. What are the three acids in a solution of H3PO4? Which acid is strongest? What are the three conjugate bases in a solution of H3PO4? Which conjugate base is strongest? Summarize the strategy for calculating the pH of a polyprotic acid in water.arrow_forward
- Most naturally occurring acids are weak acids. Lactic acid is one example. CH3CH(OH)CO2H(s)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+CH3CH(OH)CO2(aq) If you place some lactic acid in water, it will ionize to a small extent, and an equilibrium will be established. Suggest some experiments to prow that this is a weak acid and that the establishment of equilibrium is a reversible process.arrow_forwardPlease help mearrow_forwardplease see attached imagearrow_forward

A student determines that an aqueous solution that contains 0.176 M sodium fluoride and 0.499 M hydrofluoric acid, also has an H3O+ concentration of 2.94x10-3 M. Based on these data, calculate the value of the equilibrium constant K for the equilibrium: HF(aq) + H₂O2H30+ (aq) + F(aq) Calculate K as is usually done, omitting the solvent, water, from the expression for K: K = Submit Answer Retry Entire Group 2 more group attempts remaining Previous Email Instructor Nearrow_forwardWrite the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction: →>> H3PO4(aq) 3 H(aq) +PO(aq)arrow_forwardCu2+(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ CuOH+(aq) + H+(aq) Keq = 1.2 x 10−8 A 1.00 M solution of copper(II) nitrate is created and the system shown above reaches equilibrium. What happens to the pH of the system if more CuOH+ is added after reaching equilibrium? The pH of the system will not change because of the small size of K. The pH of the system will increase because of the increased concentration of CuOH+. The pH of the system will increase as the reverse reaction proceeds at a faster rate to reestablish equilibrium. The pH of the system will decrease as the forward reaction proceeds at a faster rate to reestablish equilibrium.arrow_forward
