1st, write the Ksp equation and add 0.1 to the common ion

Ksp = x * x+0.1

2nd, assume the x next to the 0.1 is negligible

1.8*10^-10 = x*0.1

3rd, solve for x

1.8*10^-10/0.1=x

x=1.8*10^-9

Decrease the volume, decrease temperature, remove O2, increase pressure

answer
Decrease the temperature. Since it is an exothermic reaction, heat is assumed to be a product and if you lower the temperature it will shift the reaction to the right
question

answer

3x^3*x = 27x^4=3.0*10^-19

 

3.0*10^-19/27=x^4

1.0*10^-20=x^4

 

x=1.0*10^-5

question

question

What is the pH of a solution with .05M HF and .05M NaF

Ka, HF = 6.8*10^-4

 

answer

.05/.05 = 1 so pH = pKa

-log6.8*10^-4 = pKa

 

pKa=pH=3.2

question

What is the pH of a solution containing .003M HF and .02M NaF?

Ka, HF = 6.8*10^-4

answer

pH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]

pKa=-logKa=3.2

.02/.003 = 6.67*10^1

log6.67*10^1=.8

 

3.2+.8 = 4.0

question

Which of the following is a formation reaction? Why?

 

C + O2 (g) ----> CO2(g)

N2(g) + H2(g) ---> 2NH3(g)

C+CO2(g) --->2CO(g)

1/2 H2(g) + 1/2 N2(g) + 3/2 O2(g) --->HNO3(g)

answer

1/2 H2(g) + 1/2 N2 (g) + 3/2 O2(g) ---> HNO3(g)

 

because all of the reactants are in their standard state and there is only one mole of product

question

Which of the following is false about an electrolytic cell and why?

 

E is consumed, e- from anode to cathode, oxidation @ cathode, electricity is used

answer
oxidation occurs at cathode because the cathode has a negative charge so the more positive species will be attracted to the cathode. Thus, it will gain electrons fitting the definition of being reduced
