The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A chemist titrates 110.0 mL of a 0.2412 M hypochlorous acid (HCIO) solution with 0.0613 M NaOH solution at 25°C. Calculate the pH at equivalence. The pKa of hypochlorous acid is 7.50. Round your answer to 2 decimal places

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution is 10.09

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HClO

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=0.2412M\\V_1=110.0mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.0613M\\V_2=?mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times 0.2412\times 110.0=1\times 0.0613\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{1\times 0.2412\times 110.0}{1\times 0.0613}=432.8mL

At equivalence, the number of moles of acid is equal to the number of moles of base. Also, the moles of salt which is NaClO will also be the same.

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}     .....(1)

  • <u>For HClO:</u>

Molarity of HClO solution = 0.2412 M

Volume of solution = 110.0 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.2412M=\frac{\text{Moles of HClO}\times 1000}{110}\\\\\text{Moles of HClO}=\frac{(0.2412\times 110)}{1000}=0.026532mol

  • <u>For NaClO:</u>

Moles of NaClO = 0.026532 moles

Volume of solution = [432.8 + 110] mL = 542.8 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of NaClO}=\frac{0.026532\times 1000}{542.8}=0.0489M

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

pH=7+\frac{1}{2}[pK_a+\log C]

where,

pK_a = negative logarithm of weak acid which is hypochlorous acid = 7.50

C = concentration of the salt = 0.0489 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=7+\frac{1}{2}[7.50+\log (0.0489)]\\\\pH=7+3.09=10.09

Hence, the pH of the solution is 10.09

At 273 k and 1.00 x 10^-2 atm, the density of a gas is 1.24 x 10^-5 g/cm3.
bija089 [108]

Root mean square velocity is the square root of the mean of the squares of speeds of different molecules. From kinetic theory of gas, the formula of root mean square velocity=C_{rms}= √\frac{3RT}{M}=√\frac{3PV}{M}=√\frac{3P}{d}, where, R= Universal gas constant, T= Absolute temperature, P= Pressure, V= Volume of gas, d= Density of gas.

Given,  T=273 K, P=1.00 x 10⁻² atm, d=1.24 x 10⁻⁵ g/cm³.

(a) Using the formula C_{rms}=√\frac{3P}{d}=√(3X1.00X10⁻²)/(1.24X10⁻⁵)=49.18

(b) Molar mass can be determined by using the formula C_{rms}=√{3RT}{M}

49.18=√\frac{3X8.314X273}{M}

49.18²=√(3X8.314X273)/M

M=\frac{3X8.314X273}{49.18^{2} }

M=1.67 ≅ 2

Molecular mass is 2.

(c) The gas is Helium (He) whose molecular mass is 2.
