Answer:

<em>The solution with the lowest pH is 0.1 M HCl.</em>

Explanation:

Since the three solutions have the same concentration (0,1M) it is only necessary to look at the pKa of each solution.

Also, knowing that a higher pKa means a lower Ka, because pKa = -Log (Ka). Thus, a lower Ka means a lower concentration of protons with a higher pH ( pH = -Log [H+].

The HCl doesn't have a pKa because is a strong acid that dissociates completely. Therefore, this solution produces a lower pH. Looking at the pKa of acetic acid and formic acid solutions, the second with the lowest pH is the formic acid solutions and the higher pH is for the acetic acid solution.

In another experiment, if 80 xo3 molecules react with 104 brz3 molecules how many br2 molecules will be produced which reactant
BaLLatris [955]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

6XO_3+8BrZ_3\rightarrow 6XZ_4+4Br_2+9O_2

In another experiment, if 80 XO_3 molecules react with 104 BrZ_3 molecules. How many Br_2 molecules will be produced which reactant will be used up in the reaction.

Answer : The number of molecules of Br_2  will be, 52 molecules and BrZ_3 reactant will be used up in the reaction because it is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction is:

6XO_3+8BrZ_3\rightarrow 6XZ_4+4Br_2+9O_2

First we have to determine the limiting reagent.

From the balanced reaction we conclude that,

As, 8 molecules of BrZ_3 react with 6 molecule of XO_3

So, 104 molecules of BrZ_3 react with \frac{104}{8}\times 6=78 molecule of XO_3

From this we conclude that, XO_3 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and BrZ_3 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the molecules of Br_2

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 8 molecules of BrZ_3 react to give 4 molecules of Br_2

So, 104 molecules of BrZ_3 react to give \frac{104}{8}\times 4=52 molecules of Br_2

Hence, the number of molecules of Br_2  will be, 52 molecules and BrZ_3 reactant will be used up in the reaction because it is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.
