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

g All of the molecules below have polar bonds but only one of the molecules is a polar molecule. Which one is a polar molecule?
lbvjy [14]

Answer: NF_3

Explanation:

Geometrical symmetry of the molecule and the polarity of the bonds determine the polarity of the molecule.

The molecule that has zero dipole moment that means it is a geometrically symmetric molecule and the molecule which has some net dipole moment means it is a geometrically asymmetric molecule.

As the molecule is symmetric, the dipole moment will be zero as dipole moments cancel each other and the molecule will be non-polar.

As the molecule is asymmetric, the dipole moment will not be zero and the molecule will be polar.

Example: NF_3

Thus, we can say that NF_3 is a polar molecule.

When the pH of a solution changes from a pH of 5 to a pH of 3, the hydronium ion concentration is
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 100 times the original content.

Explanation :

As we are given the pH of the solution change. Now we have to calculate the ratio of the hydronium ion concentration at pH = 5 and pH = 3

As we know that,

pH=-\log [H_3O^+]

The hydronium ion concentration at pH = 5.

5=-\log [H_3O^+]

[H_3O^+]=1\times 10^{-5}M      ..............(1)

The hydronium ion concentration at pH = 3.

3=-\log [H_3O^+]

[H_3O^+]=1\times 10^{-3}M      ................(2)

By dividing the equation 1 and 2 we get the ratio of the hydronium ion concentration.

\frac{[H_3O^+]_{original}}{[H_3O^+]_{final}}=\frac{1\times 10^{-5}}{1\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{1}{100}

100\times [H_3O^+]_{original}=[H_3O^+]_{final}

From this we conclude that when the pH of a solution changes from a pH of 5 to a pH of 3, the hydronium ion concentration is 100 times the original content.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) 100 times the original content.
