The calculated pH is 3.79. therefore, the solution is acidic.

No, carbonic acid is not a strong acid. H2CO3 is a weak acid that dissociates into a proton (H+ cation) and a bicarbonate ion (HCO3- anion). This compound only partly dissociates in aqueous solutions.

H2 CO3    =    H (+) + HCO3(-)          Ka1 = 4.3 * 10^ -7

   0.06 - x              x          x

Ka1 = x^2 / (0.06 - x) = 4.3 * 10^ - 7

A low Ka => x << 0.06 => 0.06 -x ≈ 0.06

=> Ka1 ≈ x^2 / 0.06 => x^2 ≈ 0.06 * Ka1 = 0.06 * 4.3 * 10^-7

=> x ≈ √ [ 2.58 * 10 ^ -8] = 1.606 * 10^ - 4 = 0.0001606

Second dissociation

HCO3(-)    =   H (+) + CO3(2-)         Ka2 = 5.6 * 10^ - 11

0.0001606 - y            y             y

Ka2 ≈ y^2 / 0.0001606 => y = √ [0.0001606 * 5.6* 10^ -11]

y = 9.48 * 10^ -8

An acidic solution has a high concentration of hydrogen ions (H +start superscript, plus, end superscript), greater than that of pure water.

[H+] = x + y = 1.607 * 10^ -4

pH = - log [H+] = 3.79

Calculate the number of water (H2O) molecules produced from the decomposition of 75.50 grams of Iron (III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3).
Phantasy [73]

Answer: 6.38\times 10^{23} molecules of water are produced.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Fe(OH)_3=\frac{75.50g}{106.8g/mol}=0.707moles

The balanced chemical reaction is:

2Fe(OH)_3\rightarrow Fe_2O_3+3H_2O  

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of Fe_2O_3 produce = 3 moles of H_2O

Thus 0.707 moles of Fe_2O_3 will produce=\frac{3}{2}\times 0.707=1.06moles  of H_2O  

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

Thus 1.06 moles of H_2O contains = \frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 1.06=6.38\times 10^{23} molecules
