Answer:

pH = 3.74

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Initial volume of CH3COOH, V1 = 25.00 ml

Initial concentration of CH3COOH, M1 = 0.10 M

Initial volume of CH3COONa, V1 = 25.00 ml

Initial concentration of CH3COONa, M2 = 0.010 M

Ka (CH3COOH) = 1.8*10^-5

<u>To determine:</u>

pH of the solution

<u>Calculation:</u>

The given solution of CH3COOH/CH3COONa is in fact a buffer whose pH is given by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation where:

pH = pKa + log\frac{[A-]}{[HA]} ----(1)

where A- = concentration of conjugate base = [CH3COONa]

HA = weak acid = [CH3COOH]

Step 1: Calculate the final concentration of CH3COONa

V1 = 25.00 ml

V(final) = Total volume = 25.00 + 25.00 = 50.00 ml

M1 = 0.010 M

M1V1 = M2V2\\\\M2 = \frac{M1V1}{V2} = \frac{0.010 M * 25.00 ml}{50.00ml} =0.005M

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate the final concentration of CH3COOH

V1 = 25.00 ml

V(final) = Total volume = 25.00 + 25.00 = 50.00 ml

M1 = 0.10 M

M1V1 = M2V2\\\\M2 = \frac{M1V1}{V2} = \frac{0.10 M * 25.00 ml}{50.00ml} =0.05M

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate the pH

Based on equation (1)

pH = pKa + log\frac{[CH3COONa]}{[CH3COOH]} ----(1)

pKa = -log Ka = -log(1.8*10^-5) = 4.74

pH = -logKa + log\frac{[CH3COONa]}{[CH3COOH]}

pH = 4.74 + log\frac{[0.005]}{[0.05]}

pH = 3.74

A liquid occupies a volume of 5.0 L has a mass of 6.0 kg. what is the density of a the lights in kg/L
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Hey there! :

Volume = 5.0 L

mass = 6.0 Kg

Therefore:

Density = mass / Volume

Density = 6.0 / 5.0

Density = 1.2 kg/L
