The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the pH at 25°C of a 0.39 M solution of sodium hypochlorite NaClO. Note that hypochlorous acid HClO is a weak acid with a pKa of 7.50. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution is 10.4

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Molarity of sodium hypochlorite = 0.39 M

pK_a of HClO = 7.50

We know that:

pK_a=-\log K_a

K_a  of HClO = 10^{-7.50}=3.16\times 10^{-8}

To calculate the base dissociation constant for the given acid dissociation constant, we use the equation:

K_w=K_b\times K_a

where,

K_w = Ionic product of water = 10^{-14}

K_a = Acid dissociation constant  = 3.16\times 10^{-8}

K_b = Base dissociation constant

Putting values in above equation, we get:

10^{-14}=3.16\times 10^{-8}\times K_b\\\\K_b=\frac{10^{-14}}{3.16\times 10^{-8}}=3.16\times 10^{-7}

The chemical equation for the reaction of hypochlorite ion with water follows:

                    ClO^-+H_2O\rightarrow HClO+OH^-

<u>Initial:</u>           0.39

<u>At eqllm:</u>      0.39-x                   x           x

The expression of K_b for above equation follows:

K_b=\frac{[HClO][OH^-]}{[ClO^-]}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

3.16\times 10^{-7}=\frac{x\times x}{(0.39-x)}\\\\x=-0.00035,0.00035

Neglecting the negative value of 'x' because concentration cannot be negative

To calculate the pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

pOH=-\log[OH^-]

We are given:

[OH^-]=0.00035M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pOH=-\log (0.00035)=3.6

To calculate pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH+pOH=14\\pH=14-3.6=10.4

Hence, the pH of the solution is 10.4

Which forms when a humid air mass rises into a cooler temperature area?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Option A: Clouds

In the morning, air is cool and as sun begins to rise it starts increasing the temperature of air. By time, the air becomes warmer and warmer. Depending upon the surrounding conditions, air in different areas heat up at different rates.

Due to this heating, thermal formation takes place, this is due to uneven heating of surface of earth. The thermal formation at surface causes difference in temperature of surface of the earth and air around it. The warm air has tendency to rise thus, the air in the thermal rise and expand. Due to expansion it cools down, this process continues till the temperature of thermal air reaches equals to the temperature of surrounding air. This results in the formation of cloud.

Thus, when a humid air mass rises into a cooler temperature area, clouds formation takes place

Which of these best explains why a paper clip can float on water? A)Water has a very high specific heat.
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The answer is d. water molecules near the surface produce more buoyant force than water molecules within the liquid

Explanation: Surface tension is defined as the attraction on the water of like particles to one another. Water molecules on a surface undergoes cohesion or the sticking together of one molecule to another of the same material.

Answer:

\text{C. } _{36}^{85}\text{Kr}

Explanation:

Your nuclear equation is  

_{35}^{85}\text{Br} \longrightarrow \, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} +\, _{x}^{y}\text{X}

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that

  • the sum of the superscripts and must be the same on each side of the equation.
  • the sum of the subscripts must be the same on each side of the equation.  

Then  

85 = 0 + y, so y = 85 - 0 = 0  

35 = -1 + x, so x = 35 + 1 = 36

The nucleus with atomic number 36 and atomic mass 85 is krypton-85.  

The nuclear equation becomes  

_{35}^{85}\text{Br} \longrightarrow \, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, _{36}^{85}\text{Kr}
