Hello!

If a reaction occurs when a piece of metal is placed in a solution, you can conclude that the solution is probably acidic because bases rarely react with metals.

Strong Acids, like HCl, react with metals to produce salts and release gaseous hydrogen (H₂) which is evidenced by the generation of bubbles in the solution. The general chemical equation for this kind of reactions for a metal M and an acid HA is:

2M(s) + 2HA(aq) → 2MA(aq) + H₂(g)

Find the pH of a 0.350 M aqueous benzoic acid solution. For benzoic add. Ka = 6.5 x 10^-5.

slava [35]

Answer:

correct option is (a)

The solution would be using this: C6H5COOH = H+ + C6H5COO Ka = 6.5 x 10^-5 = (H+)(C6H5COO-) over

(C6H5COOH)

Let X = moles per liter (H+) and also = moles per liter (C6H5COO-)

Ka = 6.5 x 10^-5 = (X)(X) over .350 molar = acid solution 6.5 x 10^-5 = X^2 over .350

X^2 = 6.5 x 10^-5 times .350 which = 2.275 x 10^-5

x = V2.275 x 10^-5

X = 1.5083 x 10^-5 moles per liter H+

pH = -log(H+) = -log 1.5083 x 10^-5 which

= 4.6215
