If a buffer solution is 0.220 M in a weak acid ( Ka=7.4×10−5) and 0.540 M in its conjugate base, what is the pH?

valkas [14]

Answer: the pH of the solution is 4.52

Explanation:

Consider the weak acid as Ha, it is dissociated as expressed below

HA H⁺ + A⁻

the Henderson -Haselbach equation can be expressed as;

pH = pKa + log( [A⁻] / [HA])

the weak acid is dissociated into H⁺ and A⁻ ions in the solution.

now the conjugate base of the weak acid HA is

HA(aq) {weak acid} H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) {conjugate base}

so now we calculate the value of Kₐ as well as pH value by substituting the values of the concentrations into the equation;

pKₐ = -logKₐ

pKₐ = -log ( 7.4×10⁻⁵ )

pKₐ = 4.13

now thw pH is

pH = pKₐ + log( [A⁻] / [HA])

pH = 4.13 + log( [0.540] / [0.220])

pH = 4.13 + 0.3899

pH = 4.5199 = 4.52

Therefore the pH of the solution is 4.52

Consider the reaction 2NO(g) 1 O2(g) ¡ 2NO2(g) Suppose that at a particular moment during the reaction nitric oxide (NO) is reac

GalinKa [24]

<h2>a) The rate at which $NO_2$ is formed is 0.066 M/s</h2><h2>b) The rate at which molecular oxygen $O_2$ is reacting is 0.033 M/s</h2>

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$2NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)$

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

Rate in terms of disappearance of $NO$ = $-\frac{1d[NO]}{2dt}$ = 0.066 M/s
