First you calculate the pOH of the solution:
pH+ pOH = 14
3.25 + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - 3.25
pOH = 10.75
<span>Concentration of [OH]</span>⁻<span> in solution:
</span>
[ OH⁻ ] =
[ OH⁻ ] = 10^ - 10.75
[OH⁻] = 1.778 x 10⁻¹¹ Mhope this helps !
Chemistry affects all aspects of life and most natural events because all living and nonliving things are made of matter.
<span>It is because air is a poor conductor of heat. Good luck ;)</span>
Ethanoic (Acetic) acid is a weak acid and do not dissociate fully. Therefore its equilibrium state has to be considered here.
In this case pH value of the solution is necessary to calculate the concentration but it's not given here so pH = 2.88 (looked it up)
pH = 2.88 ==>
![[H^{+}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D)

The change in Concentration Δ
![[CH_{3}COOH]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BCH_%7B3%7DCOOH%5D)
= 0.001
CH3COOH H+ CH3COOH
Initial
0 0
Change
-0.001 +0.001 +0.001
Equilibrium
- 0.001 0.001 0.001
Since the
value is so small, the assumption
![[CH_{3}COOH]_{initial} = [CH_{3}COOH]_{equilibrium}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BCH_%7B3%7DCOOH%5D_%7Binitial%7D%20%3D%20%5BCH_%7B3%7DCOOH%5D_%7Bequilibrium%7D)
can be made.
![k_{a} = [tex]= 1.8*10^{-5} = \frac{[H^{+}][CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]} = \frac{0.001^{2}}{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20k_%7Ba%7D%20%3D%20%5Btex%5D%3D%201.8%2A10%5E%7B-5%7D%20%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%5BCH_%7B3%7DCOO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BCH_%7B3%7DCOOH%5D%7D%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B0.001%5E%7B2%7D%7D%7Bx%7D%20)
Solve for x to get the required concentration.
note: 1.)Since you need the answer in 2SF don&t round up values in the middle of the calculation like I've done here.
2.) The ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table may come in handy if you are new to problems of this kind
Hope this helps!
There are less sharks farther from coral reefs.
