Short Answer

Expert verified

The equilibrium expression is K=ACaCλCa2+XC-2=CaCl2Ca2+γCa2+Cl-2γCl-.

Step by step solution

01

Concept used.

Equilibrium expression:

The equilibrium equation determines the ratio of products to reactants.

aA+bBcC+dDAA2ABD|A|2γA2|B|0γBb

where,

-activity of species

[] -concentration of species

γ- activity coefficient of species.

02

Step 2: Calculate the ionic strength of 1mMCaCl2.

Given reaction,

Ca2++2Cl-Cacl2(aq)

The equilibrium expression by the activity of all species

K=ACOCAC22+Aa2=CaCh2γCaCCa2+γCa22+Cr|hC2

The equilibrium expression for the given reaction was calculated using the species' activity and concentration.

your answer as much as possible.

Ammonia Equilibrium treated by solver. We now use the solve spreadsheet introduced in Figure 8 - 9 for TIN3 solubility to find the concentration of species in 0.01 M ammonia solution, neglecting activity coefficient. In the systematic treatment of equilibrium of NH3hydrolysis, we have four unknowns (NH3,[NH4+],H+,OH-) and two equilibrium (8-13) , (8-14). Therefore we will estimate the concentration of 4unknowns - 2equilibirum = 2species, for which I choose localid="1663566766281" NH+andOH-. Setup the spreadsheet shown below, in which the estimate localid="1663566820791" pNH4+=3.pOH-= 3 appears in B6andB7 . (Estimates comes from the Kbequilibrium 8-17 with [NH4+]=[OH-]=Kb[NH3]10-4.755[0.01]pNH4+=pOH-3. Estimate donot have to be very good for Solver to work. The formula in cell C8 is [NH3]=[NH4+].

[OH-]/Kb and the formula in the cell C9 is [H+]=Kw/[OH-]. The mass balance b1appears in cell F6 and the charge balance b2 appears in cell F7 . Cell F8 has the sum b12+b22. As described for TIN3on page 176, open the solver window and set the Solver Option. Then use the Solver to set the target cell F8 Equal to Min by changing cells B6 : B7 . What are the concentrations of the species? What fraction of ammonia (=NH4+/NH4++NH3) is hydrolyzed. Your answer should agree with those from Goal Seek in Figure 8-8

Using activities, calculate the pH of a solution containing 0.010 M NaOH plus 0.012 0 M LiNO3 . What would be the pH if you neglected activities?
