Over the ocean, the temperature rises much slower, because the water evaporates causing the hot molecules to go into the atmosphere, and the overall temperature of the water doesn't increase much, this causes the area without the water to be much hotter.
Answer is: pH value of solution of NaC₂H₃O₂ is 9.07.
Chemical reaction: C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + OH⁻.
Ka(HC₂H₃O₂) = 1,8·10⁻⁵.<span>
Ka · Kb = Kw.
</span>1,8·10⁻⁵ mol/dm³ · Kb = 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶; the ionic product of water at 25°C.<span>
Kb(</span>C₂H₃O₂⁻)
= 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ ÷ 1,8·10⁻⁵ mol/dm³.<span>
Kb(</span>C₂H₃O₂⁻) =
5,56·10⁻¹⁰ mol/dm³.
c(C₂H₃O₂⁻) = 0,25 M.
[OH⁻] = [HC₂H₃O₂] = x.
[C₂H₃O₂⁻] = 0,25 M - x.
Kb = [OH⁻] · [HC₂H₃O₂] / [C₂H₃O₂⁻].
5,56·10⁻¹⁰ = x² / (0,25 M -x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH⁻] = 0,0000118 M.
pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(0,0000118M) = 4,93.
pH + pOH = 14.
pH = 14 - 4,93 = 9,07.
