Help with a question
« on: December 06, 2009, 03:19:00 PM »
Problem:   Given the following information,
HF(aq)  <=>  H+(aq) + F-(aq)                     
H2C2O4(aq)  <=>  2H+(aq) + C2O42-(aq)       
Kc = 6.8 X 10-4
Kc = 3.8 X 10-6

Determine the value of Kc for the reaction
2HF(aq) + C2O42-(aq)  <=>  2F-(aq) + H2C2O4(aq)

Im stuck on this one question and i have no clue. Thanks

What do you mean by stuck??
Well my clue is write down the expression for Kc in both cases and also in the net reaction.
Rearrange the Kc for the net reaction{by multiplying and dividing the same concentration term like multiplying numr by [F-] and denomr by the same} so as to get the expressions of the first two reactions

Hope you followed. If not reply.. I'll make it clear
