Answer:

1. Density can be used to identify a substance

2. Density can be used to ascertain whether a substance will float in water.

Explanation:

The calculation of the density of a substance can be used to identify the substance. If the density of a substance is calculated accurately, and compared with a table of standard densities, then we can identify that substance.

Also, density determines whether an object will float or sink in water. If an object is less dense than water then it will float in water. If it is denser than water, then it will sink in water.

What is the ph of 0.450 m al(no3)3 [ka for al3+(aq) = 1.00x10-5]? express your answer to two decimal places?

Answer : The pH of the solution is, 2.67

Explanation :

The equilibrium chemical reaction is:

$Al^{3+}+H_2O\rightarrow Al(OH)^{2+}+H^+$

Initial conc. 0.450 0 0

At eqm. (0.450-x) x x

As we are given:

$K_a=1.00\times 10^{-5}$

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

$K_a=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(0.450-x)}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$1.00\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(0.450-x)}$

$x=0.00212M$

The concentration of $H^+$ = x = 0.00212 M

Now we have to calculate the pH of solution.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pH=-\log (0.00212)$

$pH=2.67$

Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 2.67
