Atoms are divisible contrary to the early beliefs that the smallest "indivisible" matter is an atom. When an atom loses its identity it means that they are divisible. Atoms chemically react with other kinds of atoms thus changing their activity.

They certainly are not that important to our lives, but it’s good to know :)

Using the systematic approach for equilibrium problems, calculate the pH of 0.05 M HOCl. Ka= 3.0*10-8 Group of answer choices 3.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The pH is equal to 4.41

Explanation:

Since HClO is a weak acid, its dissociation in aqueous medium is:

HClO ⇄ ClO- + H+

start: 0.05 0 0

change -x +x +x

balance 0.05-x x x

As it is a weak acid it dissociates very little, in its ClO- and H + ions, so the change is negative, where x is a degree of dissociation.

the acidity constant when equilibrium is reached is equal to:

$Ka=\frac{[ClO-]*[H+]}{[HClO]}=\frac{x*x}{0.05-x}=3x10^{-8}$

The 0.05-x fraction can be approximated to 0.05, because the ionized fraction (x) is very small, therefore we have:

$3x10^{-8}=\frac{x^{2} }{0.05}$

clearing the x and calculating its value we have:

$x=3.87x10^{-5}=[H+]=[ClO-]$

the pH can be calculated by:

$pH=-log[H+]=-log[3.87x10^{-5}]=4.41$
