Calculate the pH of 0.1M Benzoic Acid (C6H5COOH). Ka = 6.3x10-5 M

Ka = [H+][B-]/[HB]Benzoic acid dissociates to C6H6COO- and H+ - this is a 1:1 ratio so the concentrations are equal hence [H+][B-] = [H

Explain the effect of increasing concentraion of O2 on the equilibrium position of this gas phase reaction and what you might see given that Nitrogen Oxide and Nitrogen Dioxide appear colourless and brown respectively. NO + 0.5O2 ----> NO2

Using "Le Chatelier's principle", the equilbrium will seek to oppose the change made to the reaction. In order to counter the increase in oxygen concentration, the reaction will shift to...
