Given:
M AgNO3 = 0.200
V AgNO3 = 0.0250 L
M Na2CO3 = 0.0800
V Na2CO3 = 0.0500L
MM Ag2CO3 = 275.7g/mol
Find:
mass of Ag2CO3 produced (also called the theoretical yield)
Solution:
If AgNO3 is the limiting reactant (LR), the # of moles of Na2CO3 needed is:
Is it available? YES
Therefore, the LR is AgNO 3.
Theoretical yield of Ag2CO3 = 5.00 x 10 -3 mol AgNO3 ( 1 Ag2CO3/2 AgNO3) (275.7g/mol Ag2CO3)
= 0.689 g
B. Le Châtelier’s Principle
- states that the position of chemical equilibrium always shifts in a direction that tends to relieve the effect
of an applied stress.
Example:
1) Which of the following is true about the reaction when an amount of NO 2 (g) is added to the equilibrium
reaction?
a. Equilibrium will shift to consume N2O4 (g).
b. Equilibrium will shift to produce more NO 2 (g).
c. Equilibrium will shift to consume the NO 2 (g).
d. No effect on the equilibrium.
2. Which of the following is true about the reaction when the pressure is lowered by increasing the volume of
the reaction container?
a. Equilibrium will produce more N2O4 (g) to offset the pressure drop.
b. Equilibrium will shift to the right to produce more NO2 (g).
c . Equilibrium will shift to consume more NO2 (g).
d. No effect on the equilibrium
3. Which of the following is true about the reaction when the temperature is raised?
5. Which of the following will increase the Keq of the equilibrium of the reaction?
Example:
1) BaC2O4
2) Al(OH)3
3) CaF2
4) CuI
Answer:
1) BaC2O4(s) Ba2+ (aq) + C2O4 2- (aq)
x 3x
Solution:
Al(OH)3(s) Al3+ (aq) + 3 OH- (aq)
= 7.14 x 10-8 g
Question:
Solution:
BaC2O4(s) Ba2+ (aq) + C2O42- (aq)
= 0. 045g
D. Ion-Product Constant for Water (Kw)
Example:
At 50⁰C, Kw= 5.47 x 10 -14. Calculate the pH of water at this temperature.
NaOH (aq) Na+(aq) + OH- (aq) since NaOH is a strong electrolyte, it will undergo complete ionization
0M 0.200M 0.200M
EXAMPLE 9-4
Calculate the molar solubility of Ba(IO3)2 in a solution that is 0.0200 M in Ba(NO 3)2.
Ksp= [Ba2+][IO3-]2
1.57 x 10-9= (0.0200+x) (2x)2
Compared with the molar solubility of pure Ba(IO3) = 7.32 x 10-4M, it can be concluded that the presence of a
common on decreases the solubility of a precipitate.
