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:
The 0.05-x fraction can be approximated to 0.05, because the ionized fraction (x) is very small, therefore we have:
clearing the x and calculating its value we have:
the pH can be calculated by:
Answer:
26.25 mL
Explanation:
This is a dilution problem. First, let us calculate the volume of final solution needed:
The dog weighs 50 pounds and the sedative is administered at 0/7 ml per pound. Hence:
50 x 0.7 = 35 mL
A total volume of 35 mL, 2.5% solution of the sedative will be needed.
But 10% solution is available. There needs to be a dilution with saline water, but what volume of the 10% solution would be diluted?
initial volume = ?
final volume = 35 mL
initial concentration = 10%
final concentration = 2.5%
Using dilution equation:
initial concentration x initial volume = final concentration x final volume
initial volume =
= 2.5 x 35/10 = 8.75 mL
Hence, 8.75 mL of the 10% pre-mixed sedative will be required.
But 35 mL is needed? The 8.75 mL is marked up to 35 mL with saline water.
35 - 8.75 = 26.25 mL
<em>Therefore, 26.25 mL of saline water will be added to 8.75 mL of the 10% pre-mixed sedative to give 2.5%, 35 mL needed for the dog.</em>
