Answer:
10
Explanation:
pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.
Thus,
pH = - log [H⁺]
Thus, from the formula, more the concentration of the hydrogen ions or more the acidic the solution is, the less is the pH value of the solution.
Thus, solution with pH = 3 will be more acidic than solution with pH =4
Thus, concentration of the [H⁺] when pH =3
3 = - log [H⁺]
[H⁺] = 10⁻³ M
For pH = 4, [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴ M
<u>hence, pH = 3 is 10 times more acidic than pH = 4</u>
Answer:
C.) HOCl Ka=3.5x10^-8
Explanation:
In order to a construct a buffer of pH= 7.0 we need to find the pKa values of all the acids given below
we Know that
pKa= -log(Ka)
therefore
A) pKa of HClO2 = -log(1.2 x 10^-2)
=1.9208
B) similarly PKa of HF= -log(7.2 x 1 0^-4)= 2.7644
C) pKa of HOCl= -log(3.5 x 1 0^-8)= 7.45
D) pKa of HCN = -log(4 x 1 0^-10)= 9.3979
If we consider the Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the buffer solution
The weak acid for making the buffer must have a pKa value near to the desired pH of the weak acid.
So, near to value, pH=7.0. , the only option is HOCl whose pKa value is 7.45.
Hence, HOCl will be chosen for buffer construction.
Answer:
gaseous CO2 bubbles out of the solution
Explanation:
We already know that the dissolution of a gas in water is exothermic. Hence, when the temperature of a solution containing a gas is increased, the solubility of the gas decreases and the gas bubbles out of the solution.
Similarly, the dissolution of KNO3 in water is endothermic. This implies that the solubility of the solid increases with increasing temperature.
Thus the solid becomes more soluble at 75°.
