The pH of a 0.0100 M sodium benzoate solution is determined as 8.09.

<h3>What is pH of a solution?</h3>

The pH of a solution is a measure of hydrogen (H+) ion concentration, which is, in turn, a measure of acidity of the solution.

pH is can also be determined from pOH of the solution as shown below;

pH = 14 - pOH

<h3>pH of the benzoate solution</h3>

let the hydroxyl concentration, OH = x

x²/M = kb

x²/0.01 = 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁰

x² = 1.5 x 10⁻¹²

x = √(1.5 x 10⁻¹²)

x = 1.2247 x 10⁻⁶

pOH = - log(OH⁻)

pOH = -log( 1.2247 x 10⁻⁶)

pOH = 5.91

<h3>Calculate the value of the pH</h3>

pH = 14 - 5.91

pH = 8.09

Thus, the pH of a 0.0100 M sodium benzoate solution is determined as 8.09.

A substance formed when two<br> or more chemical elements are<br> chemically bonded together?
Ronch [10]

Answer: a piece of pure matter which we can see from our naked eye is termed as a substance

Explanation:

every substance has physical and chemical properties like;

                               diamond ,water ,pure sugar ,table salt e.t.c

an element is a substance made up of same type of atoms having same atomic number[protons],and cannot be easily decomposed in to a single substance by ordinary chemical reaction example,.....

                                               gold,copper,zinc and some are in liquid form like mercury,bromine and some are in gases for example, hydrogen ,oxygen, nitrogen

What is the pH of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 4.5 x<br> 10-6 M ?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

<h2>5.35 </h2>

Explanation:

The pH of a solution can be found by using the formula

pH = - log [ {H}^{+} ]

We have

pH =  -  log(4.5 \times  {10}^{ - 6} )  \\  = 5.346787...

We have the final answer as

<h3>5.35 </h3>

Hope this helps you

The reaction below demonstrates which characteristic of a base?
svlad2 [7]

Answer: option D. the ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt.


Justification:


NaOH is a strong base, which means that in water it will dissociate according to this reaction:


  • NaOH(aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)

On the other hand, CuSO₄ is a soluble ionic salt which in water will dissociate into its ions according to this other reaction:

  • CuSO₄(aq) → Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Hence, in solution, the sodium ion (Na⁺) will  react with the metal salt in a double replacement reaction, where the highly reactive sodium ion (Na⁺) will substitute the Cu²⁺ in the CuSO₄ to form the sodium sulfate salt, Na₂SO₄ (water soluble), and the copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)₂ (insoluble).


That is what the given reaction represents:


  CuSO₄ (aq)     +     2NaOH(aq)    →    Cu(OH)₂(s)       +     Na₂SO₄(aq)

         ↑                                ↑                         ↑                            ↑

soluble metal salt       strong base       insoluble base       solube salt
