Chapter 6, Problem 6.38P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of K for given reaction has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Equilibrium constant (K): In the equilibrium reaction, the ratio of concentration of the reactant and concentration of the product.  If value of K is small than 1 the reaction should be move to the left and k is more than 1 the reaction should be move to right.

The formula of ionic product of water is,

$K_w=\left[H^{+}\right]\left[O{H}^{-}\right]$

Where,

${\text{K}}_{\text{w}}\text{=1}\text{.0}\times {\text{10}}^{\text{-14}}$
