answer both pls
1. Consider the following half-reaction.
4H+(aq) + O2(g) + 4e- →
2H2O(l)
Eo = 1.23 V
What is E, if the pressure of oxygen gas is 1.0 atmosphere
and the pH is 2.92?
USE 2 DECIMAL PLACES. (Hint, are solids and pure liquids included
in Q? Using LeChatelier's principle is E going to be
larger or smaller?)
2. Mg2C2O4(s) →
2Mg2+(aq) +C2O42-(aq)
Ksp = 8.6 x 10-5
What is Qsp if 100 mL of 0.080 M
Mg(N03)2 is added to 50 mL of 0.032 M
Na2C2O4?
Please note that for pure solids and liquids, Molarity = density of substance/molar mass of the substance; since both density and Molar mass have fixed values at constant temperature, the molarities of pure solids and liquids have fixed values.
It is for this reason that pure solids and liquids are not written in the expressions of equilibrium constants.
In question 2, the charge balance condition requires that for one oxalate ion (C2O4)2-, only one Mg2+ ion is required. The solution is given according to this correction.
