Interpretation:
Among the given reactions the product favoured reaction has to be identified and then all the reactions has to be placed in order from most reactant-favoured to most product-favoured.
Concept Introduction:
Equilibrium Constant & Direction of reaction:
Case 1:
Reaction is strongly product-favoured; equilibrium concentrations of products are much greater than equilibrium concentrations of reactants.
Case 2:
Reaction is strongly reactant-favoured; equilibrium concentrations of reactants are much greater than equilibrium concentrations of products.
Case 3:
Equilibrium mixture contains significant concentrations of reactants and products; calculations are needed to determine equilibrium concentrations.

- Swimming pool disinfectants produce hypochlorous acid upon dissolution. The weak acid ionizes as follows: HClO (aq) ⇄ H+ (aq) + ClO‒ (aq) Ka=3.0 x 10 ‒8 As strong oxidizing agents, both acid and its conjugate base kill bacteria. However, too high [HClO] is irritating to swimmers’ eyes and too high [ClO‒] will cause the ions to decompose in sunlight. The recommended pH to circumvent both problems is 7.8. Determine the ratio of the weak acid and its conjugate base at this pH.arrow_forwardGiven the thermodynamic properties below, determine the standard enthalpy change, ∆H˚, for the dissolution of calcium hydroxide.
