Question
![**Title: Understanding the Chemical Equilibria of HXO₄²⁻ in Aqueous Solution**
**Introduction**
The study of chemical equilibria is crucial in understanding the behavior of various ions in aqueous solutions. This tutorial explores the dissociation of HXO₄²⁻ in water and the resulting equilibria.
**Equilibrium Reactions of HXO₄²⁻**
**Scenario:**
Solutions of HXO₄²⁻ (aq) can also be produced by dissolving Na₂HXO₄ (s) in water. When a 1.0 M solution of Na₂HXO₄ (aq) is prepared, two different reactions between HXO₄²⁻ (aq) and H₂O (l) can occur:
1. **First Equilibrium Reaction:**
\[ \text{HXO}_4^{2-} (\text{aq}) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (\text{l}) \leftrightharpoons \text{XO}_4^{3-} (\text{aq}) + \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ (\text{aq}) \quad K_a = 5 \times 10^{-13} \]
2. **Second Equilibrium Reaction:**
\[ \text{HXO}_4^{2-} (\text{aq}) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (\text{l}) \leftrightharpoons \text{H}_2\text{XO}_4 (\text{aq}) + \text{OH}^- (\text{aq}) \quad K_b = 2 \times 10^{-7} \]
**Task e: Identifying Conjugate Acid and Base**
Clearly indicate the conjugate acid and the conjugate base of HXO₄²⁻.
i. **Conjugate Acid:**
ii. **Conjugate Base:**
**Task f: Equilibrium Calculations**
At equilibrium, will [XO₄³⁻] be greater than, less than, or equal to [H₂XO₄⁻]? Justify your answer based on the magnitudes of \( K_a \) and \( K_b \).
**Task g: Le Châtelier's Principle**
When 0.020 mol of Na₃XO₄ (s) is added to the solution, [](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/c6d4b638-a19d-4307-8723-23f937d8c9b8/cea7f874-2815-452c-8a8f-df94c30d8d02/2fa31ck.jpeg)
