pH of 0.048 M HClO is 4.35.
<u>Explanation:</u>
HClO is a weak acid and it is dissociated as,
HClO ⇄ H⁺ + ClO⁻
We can write the equilibrium expression as,
Ka =
Ka = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M
4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M =
Now we can find x by rewriting the equation as,
x² = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ × 0.048
= 1.92 × 10⁻⁹
Taking sqrt on both sides, we will get,
x = [H⁺] = 4.38 × 10⁻⁵
pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]
= - log₁₀[ 4.38 × 10⁻⁵]
= 4.35
Answer:
The precipitate was chromium hydroxide, which then reacted with more hydroxide to produce a soluble complex, Cr(OH)4
Explanation:
The following reaction takes place when chromium(III) nitrate reacts with NaOH:
+3 NaOH →
(s)+
The precipitate that is formed is chromium hydroxide,
When more NaOH is added, the precipitate reacts with it which then results in the formation of a soluble complex ion:
(s) +
(aq) →
(aq)
is soluble complex ion
