The answer a way of explaining a complex concept.
Hello!
To solve this problem we are going to use the
Henderson-Hasselbach equation and clear for the molar ratio. Keep in mind that we need the value for Acetic Acid's pKa, which can be found in tables and is
4,76:
![pH=pKa + log ( \frac{[CH_3COONa]}{[CH_3COOH]} )](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpKa%20%2B%20log%20%28%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BCH_3COONa%5D%7D%7B%5BCH_3COOH%5D%7D%20%29%20)
![\frac{[CH_3COOH]}{[CH_3COONa}= 10^{(pH-pKa)^{-1}}=10^{(4-4,76)^{-1}}=5,75](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BCH_3COOH%5D%7D%7B%5BCH_3COONa%7D%3D%2010%5E%7B%28pH-pKa%29%5E%7B-1%7D%7D%3D10%5E%7B%284-4%2C76%29%5E%7B-1%7D%7D%3D5%2C75%20)
So, the mole ratio of CH₃COOH to CH₃COONa is

<span>Deciduous forests have a long, warm growing season as one of four distinct seasons.There is abundant moisture.The soil typically is rich. The leaves dropped from trees provide a steady source of organic material for the soil. Many species live in the soil and break down the organic matter.Tree leaves are arranged in strata: canopy, understory, shrub, and ground. A great deal of light is therefore filtered out before it reaches the ground.With the dropping of their leaves during one season, trees stop photosynthesis and enter a dormant period.<span>Three main types of trees are characteristic of these forests: northern hardwood, central hardwood, and southeast pine and oak.

THE COMPLETE QUESTION IS:
Determine whether each cation is acidic or pH-neutral. For those cations that are acidic, write an equation that shows how the cation acts as an acid . a. NH+4 b. Na+ c. Co3+ d. CH2NH+3
Answer:
<em>a. Acidic</em>
<em>b. neutral</em>
<em>c. Acidic</em>
<em>d. Acidic</em>
Explanation:
a. NH4+ + H2O <==> NH3 + H3O+ (NH4+ is a conjugate acid of a weak base. Therefore it is acidic)
b. Neutral. Na+ is a cation of a strong base. Therefore it's pH is neutral.
c. Co(H2O)6³+ + H2O <==>CoH2O5(OH)²+ + H3O+
(Therefore Co+ is a weak acid since hydronium ion is formed.)
d. CH2NH3+ is a conjugate acid of a weak base. Therefore it is acidic.
