Question
ICSEENICH12028866

(i) Calculate the degree of hydrolysis of 0.2(M) sodium acetate solution.

(Hydrolysis constant of sodium acetate = 5.6x 10 -10 and ionic product of H20 = 10 -14 at 25°C )

(ii) Explain why high pressure is used in the manufacture of ammonia by Haber’s process. State the law or principle used.

Solution

i) we have given,
Hydrolysis constant of sodium acetate (Ka) =5.6 x 10-10
Kw =10-14
Degree of hydrolysis calculated as,

ii) Formation of ammonia takes place with a decrease in volume. Hence the reaction is favoured with high pressure. Le Chatelier’s Principle – when a system at equilibrium is subjected to a stress, the equilibrium shifts in that direction to nullify the effect of the stress.
