Answer : The
ion concentration is,
and the pH of a buffer is, 2.95
Explanation : Given,

Concentration of
(weak acid)= 0.26 M
Concentration of
(conjugate base or salt)= 0.89 M
First we have to calculate the value of
.
The expression used for the calculation of
is,

Now put the value of
in this expression, we get:



Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.
Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :
![pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BSalt%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D)
![pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[KNO_2]}{[HNO_2]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BKNO_2%5D%7D%7B%5BHNO_2%5D%7D)
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:


The pH of a buffer is, 2.95
Now we have to calculate the
ion concentration.
![pH=-\log [H_3O^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D)
![2.95=-\log [H_3O^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2.95%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D)
![[H_3O^+]=1.12\times 10^{-3}M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D%3D1.12%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7DM)
The
ion concentration is, 
Letter C would be the correct answer
It's D because I know bcz I'm smart 8 times 8 is 60-nart
One thing to notice in the question is, we are asked about molecular oxygen that has formula O2 not atomic oxygen O.
As we are asked about molecular oxygen, we will answer the question in terms of number of molecules that are present in 16 grams of molecular oxygen.
To get the number of molecules present in 16 grams of O2, we will use the formula:
No. of molecules = no. of moles x Avogadro's number (NA)----- eq 1)
As we know:
The number of moles = mass/ molar mass of molecule
Here we have been given mass already, 16 grams and the molar mass of O2 is 32 grams.
Putting the values in above formula:
= 16/32
= 0.5 moles
Putting the number of moles and Avogadro's number (6.02 * 10^23) in eq 1
No. of molecules = 0.5 x 6.02 * 10^23
=3.01 x 10^23 molecules
or 301,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules
This means that 16 grams of 3.01 x 10^23 molecules of oxygen.
Hope it helps!
