    Formation System
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the acid-base reaction HX + B- ⇌ HB + X-, highlighting that the formation of products is favored. Participants identify the competing bases for protons, with a focus on determining which base is stronger and which acid is weaker between HX and HB. The equilibrium constant (K) for this system is noted to have a large value, indicating a strong tendency toward product formation. Additionally, the introduction of a soluble salt like NaB is discussed in terms of its effect on the equilibrium, suggesting it may shift the reaction. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the dynamics of acid-base reactions and their equilibria.

The formation of products is strongly favoured in the acid-base system:

HX + B- <--- HB + X-
---->

a) Identify the bases competing for protons.
b) Which base is stronger?
c) Which is the weaker acid, HX or HB?
d) Does the K for this system have a large or small value?
e) How is the equilibrium affected by the addition of the soluble salt at NaB?

Any help be appreciated. Thanks.

Is this a forward and reverse reaction? e.g:

HX + B^- \rightleftharpoons HB + X^-

yes it is. Sorry, didn't know how to put it in properly.

Fair enough. If you want to use LaTex Math Type setting then go here to learn what is what. :smile:

Let us start with question a then. What is the definition of a base?

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
