Calculate the pH of the following simple solutions:

Chemistry
1 answer:
IceJOKER [234]3 years ago
5 0

Answer :

(1) pH = 1.27

(2) pH = 13.35

(3) The given solution is not a buffer.

Explanation :

<u>(1) 53.1 mM HCl</u>

Concentration of HCl = 53.1mM=53.1\times 10^{-3}M

As HCl is a strong acid. So, it dissociates completely to give hydrogen ion and chloride ion.

So, Concentration of hydrogen ion= 53.1\times 10^{-3}M

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (53.1\times 10^{-3})

pH=1.27

<u>(2) 0.223 M KOH</u>

Concentration of KOH = 0.223 M

As KOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates completely to give hydroxide ion and potassium ion.

So, Concentration of hydroxide ion= 0.223 M

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

pOH=-\log (0.223)

pOH=0.65

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-0.65=13.35

<u>(3) 53.1 mM HCl + 0.223 M KOH</u>

Buffer : It is defined as a solution that maintain the pH of the solution by adding the small amount of acid or a base.

It is not a buffer because HCl is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base. Both dissociates completely.

As we know that the pH of strong acid and strong base solution is always 7.

So, the given solution is not a buffer.

How does advertising affect the sales of orbit white
MAXImum [283]
It would get the news out about Orbit White, and people would hear about it, and/or see the advert.  They might even want to buy it or go into the grocery store thinking about it and end up buying it. 

I hope I didn't misread the question because this looks more like an English/ Social Studies question than a chemistry question.
