Ans: 1) 1.41

2) 119.3

While adding two numbers, the rule of significant figures requires that the number of decimal places in the final answer is equal to that of the term with the least decimal places

In the given examples:

1) 0.09 - has 2 decimal places

1.324- has 3 decimal places

Sum = 0.09 + 1.324 = 1.414

Round off to 2 decimal places = 1.41

2) 41.0 - has 1 decimal place

78.3- has 1 decimal place

Sum = 41.0 + 78.3 = 119.3

Final answer will also have 1 decimal place = 119.3

What is the ph of a solution that has 0.075 m ch3cooh and 0.050m nach3coo present? ka for acetic acid = 1.80 x 10-5?

Scilla [17]

Hello!

For solving this problem we first have to determine the pKa of CH₃COOH.

$pKa=-log(Ka)=-log( 1,80*10^{-5} )=4,74$

Now, we use the Henderson-Hasselbach's equation to determine the pH of the buffer solution:

$pH=pKa+log (\frac{NaCH_3COO}{CH_3COOH} )=4,74+log( \frac{0,050M}{0,075M} )=4,56$

So, the pH of this solution is 4,56

Have a nice day!
