The atomic number represents the number or protons in the nucleus of the atoms of an element. Every element has a specific number of protons, and only atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. For example, carbon, C, has an atomic number of 6. All atoms of carbon have 6 protons in their nuclei.

To indicate the pH of a substance, one can use a dye that is both an acid and that appears as different colors in its protonated

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

<em>The pH of the solution is 7.8</em>

Explanation:

The concentration of the solution is 0.001M and the dye could be in its protonated and deprotonated forms. If the concentration of the protonated form [HA] is 0.0002 M the concentration of the deprotonated form will be the subtraction between the concentration of the bye and the concentration of the protonated form:

[A-] = 0.001M - 0.0002M = 0.0008M

Also, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is

$pH = pKa + Log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}$

this equation shows the dependency between the pH of the solution, the pKa and the concentration of the protonated and deprotonated forms. Thus, replacing in the equation

$pH = 7.2 + Log \frac{0.0008M}{0.0002M} = 7.8$
