Answer: the pH of the solution is 4.52

Explanation:

Consider the weak acid as Ha, it is dissociated as expressed below

HA     H⁺  +  A⁻

the Henderson -Haselbach equation can be expressed as;

pH = pKa + log( [A⁻] / [HA])

the weak acid is dissociated into H⁺ and A⁻ ions in the solution.

now the conjugate base of the weak acid HA is

HA(aq) {weak acid}     H⁺(aq)  +  A⁻(aq) {conjugate base}

so now we calculate the value of Kₐ as well as pH value by substituting the values of the concentrations into the equation;

pKₐ = -logKₐ

pKₐ = -log ( 7.4×10⁻⁵ )

pKₐ = 4.13

now thw pH is

pH = pKₐ  + log( [A⁻] / [HA])

pH = 4.13 + log( [0.540] / [0.220])

pH = 4.13 + 0.3899

pH = 4.5199 = 4.52

Therefore the pH of the solution is 4.52

4) The initial rate of the reaction between substances P and Q was measured in a series of
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The initial rate of the reaction between substances P and Q was measured in a series of

experiments and the following rate equation was deduced.

rate = k[P]^{2} [Q]

Complete the table of data below for the reaction between P and Q

Explanation:

Given rate of the reaction is:

rate= k[P]^{2} [Q]\\=>[Q]=\frac{rate}{k.[P]^{2} } \\and \\\\\\\ [P]=\sqrt{\frac{rate}{k.[Q]} }

Substitute the given values in this formulae to get the [P], [Q] and rate values.

From the first row,

the value of k can be calulated:

k=\frac{rate}{[P]^{2}[Q] } \\  =\frac{4.8*10^-3}{(0.2)^{2} 2. (0.30)} \\ =0.4

Second row:

2. Rate value:

rate =0.4* (0.10)^{2} * (0.10)\\\\        =4.0*10^-3mol.dm^-3.s^-1

3.Third row:

[Q]=\frac{rate}{k.[P]^{2} } \\     =9.6*10^-3 / (0.4 *(0.40)^{2} \\    =0.15mol.dm^{-3}

4. Fourth row:

[P]=\sqrt{\frac{rate}{k.[Q]} }\\=>[P]=\sqrt{\frac{19.2*10^-3}{0.60*0.4} } \\=>[P]=0.283mol.dm^{-3}
