3. Determine the pH of each of the following solutions. (Hint: See Sample Problem B.) a. 1.0 x 10-2 M HCI c. 1.0 x 10-MHI b. 1.0
densk [106]

Answer:

a. pH = 2 b. pH = 3 c. pH = 1 d. Unanswerable

Explanation:

pH = -log[H+] OR pH = -log{H3O+]

                    and inversely

pOH = -log[OH-]

1. Determine what substance you are working with, (acid/base)

2. Determine whether or not that acid or base is strong or weak.

a. 1.0 x 10^-2M HCl

HCl is a strong acid, therefore it will dissociate completely into H+ and Cl- with all ions going to the H+, therefore, the concentration of HCl and concentration of H+ are going to be equal, meaning we simply take the negative logarithm of the concentration of HCl and that would equal pH

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(1.0x10^-2)

pH = 2

b. 1.0 x 10^-3M HNO3

HNO3 like part a, is a strong acid, therefore it would simply require you to take the negative logarithm of the concentration of the compound itself, to find its pH.

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(1.0 x 10^-3)

pH = 3

c. 1.0 x 10^-1M HI

Like the previous parts, HI is a strong acid

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(0.10)

pH = 1

d. HB isn't an element, nor is it a compound so that would be unanswerable.

The acid dissociation constant Ka of boric acid (H3BO3) is 5.8 times 10^-10. Calculate the pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid.
madam [21]

Answer: The pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid is 4.3

Explanation:

H_3BO_3\rightarrow H^+H_2BO_3^-

at t=0  cM              0             0

at eqm c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Give c= 4.4 M and \alpha = ?

K_a=5.8\times 10^{-10}

Putting in the values we get:

5.8\times 10^{-10}=\frac{(4.4\times \alpha)^2}{(4.4-4.4\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.000011

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

[H^+]=4.4\times 0.000011=4.8\times 10^{-5}M

Also pH=-log[H^+]

pH=-log[4.8\times 10^{-5}]=4.3

Thus pH of a 4.4 M H_3BO_3 solution is 4.3

What is one factor that contributes to seasons occurring in Pennsylvania?
JulijaS [17]
B. the tilt of the Earth on it's axis

The moon affects the tides by it's gravitational pull on Earth. So the moon has no affect on the earth's seasons. The distance from earth from the sun only affects the ability of Earth to sustain liquid water because earth is in something scientists like to call the "Goldilocks Zone" This has no affect on the seasons. However, the angle at which the sun's light hit the earth does effect seasonal changes and it's tilt does change.
