Answer:

Henderson Hasselbalch equation: pH = pKa + log [salt]/[acid]

You need to know the pKa for acetic acid. Looking it up one finds it to be 4.76

(a). pH = 4.76 + log [0.13]/[0.10]

= 4.76 + 0.11

= 4.87

(b) KOH + CH3COOH =>H2O + CH3COOK so (acid)goes down and (salt)goes up. Assuming no change in volume, you have 0.10 mol acid - 0.02 mol = 0.08 mol acid and 0.13 mol salt + 0.02 mol = 0.15 mol salt

pH = 4.76 + log [0.15]/[0.08]

= 4.76 + 0.27

= 5.03

Write a balanced equation to show the reaction of sulfurous acid with caesium hydroxide to form water and caesium sulfite.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

H2SO3 + 2CsOH —> Cs2SO3 + 2H2O

Explanation:

When sulfurous acid react with caesium hydroxide, caesium sulfite and water are formed according to the equation:

H2SO3 + CsOH —> Cs2SO3 + H2O

Next, we balanced the equation by putting 2 in front of CsOH and 2 in front of H2O i.e

H2SO3 + 2CsOH —> Cs2SO3 + 2H2O

The forces between water molecules are stronger than the forces between ethanol molecules. Which liquid would probably be most d

WITCHER [35]

<span>An insect would have an easier time walking on the surface of water than on the surface of ethanol. Water's stronger intermolecular forces lead to higher surface tension. Higher surface tension allows water to support the insect. I hope this helps.</span>
