A 1.00 L evacuated tank is filled with HI to 1.00 atm pressure. Once equilibrium according to: 2HI(g) <=> H2(g) + I2(g), K = 0.050 is achieved, what is the pressure of HI?
What is 0.69?
200
Explain why solids and liquids are not considered in the determination of Kc?
What is: Liquids are solid concentrations are considered fairly constant and thus are not part of our equilibrium concentration as their change is minimal.

Explain, conceptually, what the half-equivalence point on a WA/SB titration curve is. Why is it significant?
What is: Point at which we’ve added enough SB to neutralize half of the WA moles. We have created an equal amount of conjugate base (WB), creating a 1:1 buffer solution which is fairly resistant to change.

25.0 mL of 0.10 M C2H5NH2 (ethylamine) is titrated with 9.00 mL of 0.15 M HCl. Given that the Kb of ethylamine is 6.5 x 10–4, what is the pH of the solution?
What is 10.74?
400
True or False: A reaction’s kc is dependent on the initial amounts present.
False. Kc is a ratio.
400
A 0.20 M solution of the hypothetical weak acid HZ was found to have a pH of exactly 3.0. The ionization constant, Ka, of the acid is?
What is 5E-6?
400
Consider the reaction shown. Using your knowledge of relative acid-base strengths and equilibrium, determine what you can about the size of Kc for the reaction. HBrO3(aq) + ClO3-(aq) <=> BrO3-(aq) + HClO3(aq)
What is Kc<1?
400
Explain why K2<
As the compound releases its protons, its conjugate base becomes fairly negative and it becomes less likely to release its remaining protons.

Explain why the concentration of [OH-] and [H3O+] are never actually 0 in water.
Water molecules are constantly reacting with each other, forming hydroxide and hydronium as they capture or take protons from each other.
