Does a strong acid solution always have a lower ph than a weak acid solution

1 answer:

5 0

The higher the concentration. The lower the pH. Strong Acids have a higher concentration than weak acids.

So basically it depends for example this acid was took from Hydrogen ions & Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid.

A weak acid is Ethanoic Acid.

This probably didn't help at all but I tried my best to explain it xD.

If a 95.27 mL sample of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is titrated to the equivalence point with 79.06 mL of 0.113 M KOH, what is the pH

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

8.73

Explanation:

The concentration of acetic acid can be determined as follows:

$M_1V_1 = M_2V_2\\(KOH) = (CH_3COOH)$

$M_{KOH}=0.113 M\\V_{KOH}=79.06 mL$

$V_{CH_3COOH}=95.27 \\\\M_{CH_3COOH)=?????$

$M_{CH3COOH} = \frac{M_{KOH}*V_{KOH}}{V_{CH_3COOH}}$

$M_{CH3COOH} = \frac{0.113*79.06}{95.27}$

$M_{CH3COOH} = 0.094 M$

Moles of $CH_3COOH$ = $95.27* 10^{-3}* 0.094$

=0.0090 moles

Moles of $KOH = 79.06*10^{-3}*0.113$

= 0.0090 moles

The equation for the reaction can be expressed as :

$CH_3COOH$ $+$ $KOH$ -----> $CH_3COO^{-}K^+$ $+$ $H_2O$

Concentration of $CH_3COO^{-$ ion = $\frac{0.0090}{Total volume (L)}$

= $\frac{0.0090}{(95.27+79.06)} *1000$

= 0.052 M

Hydrolysis of $CH_3COO^{-$ ion:

$CH_3COO^{-$ $+$ $H_2O$ -----> $CH_3COOH$ $+$ $OH^-$

$K = \frac{K_w}{K_a} = \frac{x*x}{0.052-x}$

⇒ $\frac{10^{-14}}{1.82*10^{-5}}= \frac{x*x}{0.052-x}$

= $0.5494*10^{-9}= \frac{x*x}{0.052-x}$

As K is so less, then x appears to be a very infinitesimal small number

0.052-x ≅ x

$0.5494*10^{-9}= \frac{x^2}{0.052}$

$x^2 = 0.5494*10^{-9}*0.052$

$x^2 = 0.286*10^{-10$

$x = \sqrt{0.286*10^{-10$

$x =0.535*10^{-5}M$

$[OH] = x =0.535*10^{-5}$

$pOH = -log[OH^-]$

$pOH = -log[0.535*10^{-5}]$

$pOH = 5.27$

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 5.27

pH = 8.73

Hence, the pH of the titration mixture = 8.73

A chemist places 2.5316 g of Na 2SO 4 in a 100 mL volumetric flask and adds water to the mark. She then pipets 15 mL of the resu

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The concentration of the most dilute solution is 0.016M.

Explanation:

First, a solution is prepared and then it undergoes two subsequent dilutions. Let us calculate initial concentration:

$[Na_{2}SO_{4}]=\frac{moles(Na_{2}SO_{4})}{liters(solution)} =\frac{mass((Na_{2}SO_{4}))}{molarmass(moles(Na_{2}SO_{4}) \times 0.100L)} =\frac{2.5316g}{142g/mol\times 0.100L } =0.178M$

<u>First dilution</u>

We can use the dilution rule:

C₁ x V₁ = C₂ x V₂

where

Ci are the concentrations

Vi are the volumes

1 and 2 refer to initial and final state, respectively.

In the first dilution,

C₁ = 0.178 M

V₁ = 15 mL

C₂ = unknown

V₂ = 50 mL

Then,

$C_{2}=\frac{C_{1} \times V_{1} }{V_{2}} =\frac{0.178M \times 15mL}{50mL} =0.053M$

<u>Second dilution</u>

C₁ = 0.053 M

V₁ = 15 mL

C₂ = unknown

V₂ = 50 mL

Then,

$C_{2}=\frac{C_{1} \times V_{1} }{V_{2}} =\frac{0.053M \times 15mL}{50mL} =0.016M$

How can acceleration occur?

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. ... Acceleration occurs anytime an object's speed increases or decreases, or it changes direction. Much like velocity, there are two kinds of acceleration: average and instantaneous. Average acceleration is determined over a "long" time interval.
