What are the concentrations of [K+], [OH-], [CO32-] and [H+], in a 1.2 M solution of K2CO3 ? (Note: Question is asking for concentrations and not pH) g

The concentrations are: [K⁺] = 1.2 M, [OH⁻] = 0.016 M, [CO₃²⁻] = 1.18 M and [H⁺] = 6.25x10⁻¹³ M.

Explanation:

The dissociation equation of K₂CO₃ in water is:

K₂CO₃(aq) ⇄  K⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)     (1)

Also, the CO₃²⁻ will react with water as follows:

CO₃²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HCO₃⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)    (2)

The constant of the reaction (2) is:    

The solution of K₂CO₃ is 1.2 M, and since the mole ratio of K₂CO₃ with K⁺ and CO₃²⁻ is 1:1, then we have:                      

Now, from equation (2) we have:

CO₃²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HCO₃⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)    (3)

1.2 - x                                x               x

   (4)  

By solving equation (4) for x we have:

x = 0.016 M = [HCO₃⁻] = [OH⁻]        

Hence, the CO₃²⁻ concentration is:                        

[CO₃²⁻] = 1.2 M - 0.016 M = 1.18 M

Finally, the concentration of [H⁺] is:

Therefore, the concentrations are: [K⁺] = 1.2 M, [OH⁻] = 0.016 M, [CO₃²⁻] = 1.18 M and [H⁺] = 6.25x10⁻¹³ M.

I hope it helps you!

a is the answer

explanation:

which statement about trans-fatty acids is false?

a. the conversion of cis-fatty acids to trans-fatty acids is inhibited by the presence of antioxidants.

hope this

aquifers are bounded above and below by impermeable rock. the driving force of groundwater movement in confined aquifers is pressure, rather than gravity.
