Consider the following reaction at 25 °C: CaCrO4s)-Ca2*la)+CrO,2(aq) Ko 7.1 104 What are the equilibrium concentrations of Ca2 and CrO42?

Respuesta :

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of [tex]Ca^{2+}\text{ and }CrO_4^{2-}[/tex] are 0.0266 M.

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the ionization of calcium chromate follows:

[tex]CaCrO_4\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+CrO_4^{2-}[/tex]

The expression for equilibrium constant is given as:

[tex]K_c=\frac{[Ca^{2+}][CrO_4^{2-}]}{[CaCrO_4]}[/tex]

We are given:

[tex]K_c=7.1\times 10^{-4}[/tex]

The concentration of solid substances are taken to be 1. Thus, they do not appear in the equilibrium constant expression.

Let the equilibrium concentration for [tex]Ca^{2+}\text{ and }CrO_4^{2-}[/tex] be 'x'

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]7.1\times 10^{-4}=x^2\\\\x=0.0266M[/tex]

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of [tex]Ca^{2+}\text{ and }CrO_4^{2-}[/tex] are 0.0266 M.
