(a) Using dissociation constants from Appendix D, determine the value for the equilibrium constant for each of the following reactions.

(i) \(\mathrm{HCO}_{3}^{-}(a q)+\mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CO}_{3}{ }^{2-}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\)

(ii) \(\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{NH}_{3}(a q)+\mathrm{HCO}_{3}^{-}(a q)\)

(b) We usually use single arrows for reactions when the forward reaction is appreciable (K much greater than 1 ) or when products escape from the system, so that equilibrium is never established. If we follow this convention, which of these equilibria might be written with a single arrow?

HCO3 -(aq) + OH-(aq) rightleftharpoons CO3 2-(aq) + H2O(l)

NH4 +(aq) + CO3 2-(aq) rightleftharpoons NH3(aq) + HCO3 -(aq)
