PKa= 4.9 therefore ka= 10^-4.9=  1.259x10^-5

ka= \frac{[H^+][CH3CH2COO^-]}{[CH3CH2COOH]}

[CH3CH2COO^-]
= 0.05
[CH3CH2COOH]= 0.10

Therefore 1.259x10^-5 = \frac{[H^+][0.05]}{[0.1]}
Rearrange the equation to make the concentration of hydrogen the subject.
Therefore [H^+] =  \frac{(1.259*10^-5)(0.1)}{0.05}

Therefore [H^+]= 2.513*10^-5

pH= -log [H^+] = -log(2.513*10^-5)= 4.59.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

John Dalton

Explanation:

John Dalton in 1808 suggested that all matter consists of tiny particles called atoms and that the atoms of a specific element are identical.

He postulated the Dalton's atomic theory which has the following important parts;

  • All matters consists of indivisible particles called atoms
  • Atoms of the same element are similar and are different from atoms of other elements.
  • Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
  • Atoms combine in simple whole ratios to form compounds.
