Answer:
a. 9.2
b. 4.4
c. 6.3
Explanation:
In order to calculate the pH of each solution, we will use the definition of pH.
pH = -log [H⁺]
(a) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 9.2
Since pH > 7, the solution is basic.
(b) [H⁺] = 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ = 4.4
Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.
(c) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ = 6.3
Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.
Answer:
1.7 ppm
Explanation:
Original amount N' = 2.6 ppm
time to testing t = 24 hr
final amount N = 2.1 ppm
Using exponential inhibited decay, we have
N = N'e^(-kt)
Where
N is the new reading
N' is the original reading
t is the decay time
k is the decay constant
Substituting, we have
2.1 = 2.6 x e^(-k x 24)
2.1 = 2.6 x e^(-24k)
0.808 = e^(-24k)
We take the natural log of both sides of the equation
Ln 0.808 = Ln (e^(-24k))
-0.213 = - 24k
K = 0.213/24 = 0.00886
After 48 hrs, the reading of free chlorine will be
N = 2.6 x e^(-0.00886 x 48)
N = 2.6 x e^(-0.425)
N = 2.6 x 0.654
N = 1.7 ppm
It depends on the pH level of the water.
