Answer : The pH of 0.289 M solution of lithium acetate at
is 9.1
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the value of
.
As we know that,

where,
= dissociation constant of an acid = 
= dissociation constant of a base = ?
= dissociation constant of water = 
Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get the dissociation constant of a base.


Now we have to calculate the concentration of hydroxide ion.
Formula used :
![[OH^-]=(K_b\times C)^{\frac{1}{2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BOH%5E-%5D%3D%28K_b%5Ctimes%20C%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%7D)
where,
C is the concentration of solution.
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:
![[OH^-]=(5.5\times 10^{-10}\times 0.289)^{\frac{1}{2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BOH%5E-%5D%3D%285.5%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-10%7D%5Ctimes%200.289%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%7D)
![[OH^-]=1.3\times 10^{-5}M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BOH%5E-%5D%3D1.3%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7DM)
Now we have to calculate the pOH.
![pOH=-\log [OH^-]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pOH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BOH%5E-%5D)


Now we have to calculate the pH.

Therefore, the pH of 0.289 M solution of lithium acetate at
is 9.1
Answer:
The temperature change was 10.04 °C.
Explanation:
Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system. In this way, there is a direct proportional relationship between heat and temperature. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body as on its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:
Q = c * m * ΔT
Where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.
In this case you know:
- c= 1

Replacing:
7,529 cal= 1
*750 g* ΔT
Solving you get:
ΔT=
ΔT= 10.04 °C
So, <u><em>the temperature change was 10.04 °C.</em></u>
Percent error is [(abs(experimental - actual))/(actual)] * 100
(38.0 - 40.0 ) / 40.0 = 2.0 / 40 = 0.05
0.05 * 100 = 5
since there are 2 sigfigs, the answer is 5.0 %
I made the 2 positive since the absolute value of 38.0 - 40.0 was taken
There are only 2 sigfigs because of the subtraction of 38.0 - 40.0 gives 2.0, only 2 sigfigs
