Answer:
pH = 12.33
Explanation:
Lets call HA = butanoic acid and A⁻ butanoic acid and its conjugate base butanoate respectively.
The titration reaction is
HA + KOH ---------------------------- A⁻ + H₂O + K⁺
number of moles of HA : 118.3 ml/1000ml/L x 0.3500 mol/L = 0.041 mol HA
number of moles of OH : 115.4 mL/1000ml/L x 0.400 mol/L = 0.046 mol A⁻
therefore the weak acid will be completely consumed and what we have is the unreacted strong base KOH which will drive the pH of the solution since the contribution of the conjugate base is negligible.
n unreacted KOH = 0.046 - 0.041 = 0.005 mol KOH
pOH = - log (KOH)
M KOH = 0.005 mol / (0.118.3 +0.1154)L = 0.0021 M
pOH = - log (0.0021) = 1.66
pH = 14 - 1.96 = 12.33
Note: It is a mistake to ask for the pH of the <u>acid solutio</u>n since as the above calculation shows we have a basic solution the moment all the acid has been consumed.
When you burn paper you are chemically altering it so that is the correct answer. When you do all the other choices all of the components stay the same. Just because it changes shapes doesn't mean it'll change chemically toom
Answer:
The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).
