The mother liquor<span> is the part of a solution that is left over after it crystallizes. An example of a place you could find this is in sugar refinement.</span>
The information given in the question is not enough to determine the acidity of the solution. This is because, acidity can only be found with the equation: pH = -log [H+].
In order to determine the acidity of the solution, the half titration point value is needed, this will make it possible to determine the value of H30+. If the half point titration value is known, then Ka will be equivalent to pH and the value will be evaluated using the equation: - log (1.6 * 10^-10).
Answer: The reaction is exothermic reaction as the energy of products is less than the energy of reactants.
Explanation: Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is less than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and for the reaction comes out to be negative.
Labeling of the parts in the diagram:
A represents the activation energy which is the energy required by reactants to cross the energy barrier to get converted to products.
E represents the potential energy of the reactants.
B represents the activated complex.
D represents the potential energy of the products.
C represents the total enthalpy change of the reaction, which comes out to be negative for exothermic reactions.
