part A: Given the two reactions
H2S⇌HS−+H+, K1 = 9.64×10−8, and
HS−⇌S2−+H+, K2 = 1.53×10−19,
what is the equilibrium constant Kfinal for the following reaction?
S2−+2H+⇌H2S
part B:Given the two reactions
PbCl2⇌Pb2++2Cl−, K3 = 1.83×10−10, and
AgCl⇌Ag++Cl−, K4 = 1.12×10−4,
what is the equilibrium constant Kfinal for the following reaction?
PbCl2+2Ag+⇌2AgCl+Pb2+
part A)
H2S <------------->HS− + H+, K1 = 9.64×10−8, and
K1 = [HS-][H+] / [H2S] ----------------------------(1)
HS− <--------------------> S2−+ H+, K2 = 1.53×10−19,
K2 = [S2-][H+] / [HS-] -----------------------------(2)
S2− + 2H+ <----------------> H2S
Kfinal = [H2S] / [S-2][H+]^2 -----------------------(3)
by doing 1 / (1) x (2) we get equation (3)
Kfinal = 1 / K1 x K2
= 1 / 9.64×10−8 x 1.53×10−19
= 6.78 x 10^25
Kfinal = 6.78 x 10^25
part B )
Kfinal = K3 / K24
= 1.83×10−10 / (1.12×10−4)^2
= 0.0146
= 1.46 x 10^-2
Kfinal = 1.46 x 10^-2
