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

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

20(50) = 40(V₂)

⇒1000 = 40V₂

⇒V₂ = 1000/40

⇒ V₂ = 25 mL

Bromine has two isotopes 79Br and 81Br, whose masses (78.9183 and 80.9163 amu) and abundances (50.69% and 49.31%, respectively)
Reika [66]

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 79.9034 amu

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})

Given that:

<u>For first isotope: </u>

% = 50.69 %

Mass = 78.9183 amu

<u>For second isotope: </u>

% = 49.31 %

Mass = 80.9163 amu

Thus,  

Average\ atomic\ mass=\frac{50.69}{100}\times {78.9183}+\frac{49.31}{100}\times {80.9163}\ amu

Average\ atomic\ mass=40.0036+39.8998\ amu

<u>Average atomic mass = 79.9034 amu</u>
