Answer:
a. pH = 2 b. pH = 3 c. pH = 1 d. Unanswerable
Explanation:
pH = -log[H+] OR pH = -log{H3O+]
and inversely
pOH = -log[OH-]
1. Determine what substance you are working with, (acid/base)
2. Determine whether or not that acid or base is strong or weak.
a. 1.0 x 10^-2M HCl
HCl is a strong acid, therefore it will dissociate completely into H+ and Cl- with all ions going to the H+, therefore, the concentration of HCl and concentration of H+ are going to be equal, meaning we simply take the negative logarithm of the concentration of HCl and that would equal pH
pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log(1.0x10^-2)
pH = 2
b. 1.0 x 10^-3M HNO3
HNO3 like part a, is a strong acid, therefore it would simply require you to take the negative logarithm of the concentration of the compound itself, to find its pH.
pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log(1.0 x 10^-3)
pH = 3
c. 1.0 x 10^-1M HI
Like the previous parts, HI is a strong acid
pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log(0.10)
pH = 1
d. HB isn't an element, nor is it a compound so that would be unanswerable.
Two hydrogen and two oxygen multiply for two
Molecular weight it stands for molecular weight
The salt contains ionic bond so that it dissociate ultimately by the movement of ion electricity is conducted
