Acid & Base Calculations Calculate the hydronium ion concentration for each. Tell whether it is an acid or a base. 1. pH = 5

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Explanation:

pH is the negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration present in a solution.

If the solution has high hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be low and the solution will be acidic. The pH range of acidic solution is 0 to 6.9
If the solution has low hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be high and the solution will be basic. The pH range of basic solution is 7.1 to 14
The solution having pH equal to 7 is termed as neutral solution.

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use equation:

$pH=-\log[H_3O^+]$ ......(1)

To calculate the pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH + pOH = 14 ........(2)

For 1:

We are given:

pH = 5.54

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$5.54=-\log[H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=2.88\times 10^{-6}M$

Now, putting values in equation 2, we get:

14 = 5.54 + pOH

pOH = 8.46

The solution is acidic in nature.

For 2:

We are given:

pOH = 9.7

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

14 = 9.7 + pH

pH = 4.3

Now, putting values in equation 1, we get:

$4.3=-\log[H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=5.012\times 10^{-5}M$

The solution is acidic in nature.

For 3:

We are given:

pH = 7.0

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$7.0=-\log[H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1.00\times 10^{-7}M$

Now, putting values in equation 2, we get:

14 = 7.0 + pOH

pOH = 7.0

The solution is neither acidic nor basic in nature.

For 4:

We are given:

pH = 12.9

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$12.9=-\log[H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1.26\times 10^{-13}M$

Now, putting values in equation 2, we get:

14 = 12.9 + pOH

pOH = 1.1

The solution is basic in nature.

For 5:

We are given:

pOH = 1.2

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

14 = 1.2 + pH

pH = 12.8

Now, putting values in equation 1, we get:

$12.8=-\log[H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1.58\times 10^{-13}M$

The solution is basic in nature.

For 6:

We are given:

$[H_3O^+]=1\times 10^{-5}M$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$pH=-\log(1\times 10^{-5})$

$pH=5$

Now, putting values in equation 2, we get:

14 = 5 + pOH

pOH = 9

The solution is acidic in nature.

Calculate the frequency

Ber [7]

Given: wavelength of Nitrogen laser (∧) = 337.1 nm = 337.1 X 10^-9 m

We know that, Energy of photon (E) = hc/∧ = hv
where, v = frequency of photon and c = speed of light = 3 X 10^8 m/s

Thus, v = c/∧ = (3 X 10^8)/ (337.1 X 10^-9) = 8.899 X 10^14 s-1.

Answer: Frequency of nitrogen laser = 8.899 X 10^14 s-1.

An unknown substance turns blue litmus paper to red. Which additional test could be used to confirm the substance’s identity? It

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Blue litmus paper turning red means that the solution where the litmus paper was submerged is an acidic solution with a pH of less than 7. Another verification of the nature of the solution is the turning to red of methyl orange in acidic solutions. The answer then is D.
