Given: HCl (aq) + H2O <> H3O^+ + Cl^-
consider the following changes: a) add HCl b) add NaOH c) add H2 d) Heat
Determine the consequence of each. Please show all relevant work/steps for study purposes. Thanks in advance!
Keq = [H3O+] [Cl-]/ [HCl]
a)When more HCl is added, Keq decreases and to compensate for this more of [H3O+] [Cl-] are formed.
b) when NaOH is added, some of the HCl gets consumed depending upon the concentrations. Hence [HCl] decreases and to keep the equilibrium constant [H3O+] and [Cl-] decrease.
c) addtion of hydrogen does not have any effect
d) when heated the value of Kc is already large and complete dissociation of HCl ( being strong acid) takes place and hence K does not get effected.
