Question

1. Write the expression for the equilibrium constant (the equilibrium equation) for each of the following chemical reactions. (FE exam manual) 2) 3) 4) Bao(s) + CO2(g) BaCO3(s) C(s) + CO2(g) CO(g) 2. H2PO, is in equilibrium with HPO in water: H2PO4 T = 25°C; [H2PO4 ] = 9.698 x 10-5 M: [H+] = [HPO42-] = 3.018 x 10-6 M Using the extended Debye-Huckel approximation equation, calculate the following: 1) when = 0 a) the activity coefficients for H2PO4, HPO2, and H b) the equilibrium constant, Ka2 c) the equilibrium constant corrected for ionic strength, Ka2 d) pKa2 and pKa2 2) when = 0.01 a) the activity coefficients for H2PO4, HPO2, and H b) the equilibrium constant, Ka,2 c) the equilibrium constant corrected for ionic strength, Ka2 d) pKa2 and pKa2e key H,PO -log KapKa2

Explanation / Answer

1)

for equilibrium constant only gaseous and liquid substances will contribute. and ratio of concentration (or partial pressure) of products to the reactants

so for the first reaction

Keq = PNO2 * PCl2 / PNOCl2

second reaction

Keq = 1/  PCO2  

third reaction

Keq = [H3O+] [NO3-] / [H2O] [HNO3]

fourth reaction

Keq = PCO /  PCO2
