Explanation:
When percentage composition is given, and asked for the empirical formula, it is simplest to assume 100 g of material. Thus,
Mass C = 40.92 g. Moles C = 40.92 g x 1 mole/12 g = 3.41 moles C
Mass H = 4.58 g. Moles H = 4.58 g x 1 mole/1.0 g = 4.58 moles H
Mass O = 54.50 g. Moles O = 54.50 g x 1 mole/16 g = 3.41 moles O
Now, we want to get the moles into whole numbers, so we begin by dividing all by the smallest, i.e. divide all values by 3.41.
Moles C = 3.41/3.41 = 1
Moles H = 4.58/3.41 = 1.34
Moles O = 3.41/3.41 = 1
Now, in order to get 1.34 to be a whole number we multiply it (and all others) by 3
Moles C = 1x3 = 3
Moles H = 1.34x3 = 4
Moles O = 1x3 = 3
Empirical Formula
PH is defined as the negative log of Hydrogen ion concentration. Mathematically we can write this as:
![pH=-log[H^{+}]=-log[H_{3}O]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%3D-log%5BH_%7B3%7DO%5D%20%20)
We are given the concentration of
. Using the value in formula, we get:
![pH=-log[1.8*10^{-4}]=3.745](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%5B1.8%2A10%5E%7B-4%7D%5D%3D3.745%20)
Therefore, the pH of the solution will be 3.745
We are given the concentration of
Therefore, the pH of the solution will be 3.745
