Use blue litmus paper. This is an indicator that can safely determine whether it is a base or an acid by changing color in response to the substance. This color indicates whether it is an acid or a base. Refer to the pH scale to see if the substance is basic or acidic.
Metals :-
Group 1A - Alkali metals ( highly reactive metals)
Non-metals :-
Group 17 - Halogens ( highly reactive non-metals )
Answer:
pKa = 3.675
Explanation:
∴ <em>C</em> X-281 = 0.079 M
∴ pH = 2.40
let X-281 a weak acid ( HA ):
∴ HA ↔ H+ + A-
⇒ Ka = [H+] * [A-] / [HA]
mass balance:
⇒<em> C</em> HA = 0.079 M = [HA] + [A-]
⇒ [HA] = 0.079 - [A-]
charge balance:
⇒ [H+] = [A-] + [OH-]... [OH-] is negligible; it comes from to water
⇒ [H+] = [A-]
∴ pH = - log [H+] = 2.40
⇒ [H+] = 3.981 E-3 M
replacing in Ka:
⇒ Ka = [H+]² / ( 0.079 - [H+] )
⇒ Ka = ( 3.981 E-3 )² / ( 0.079 - 3.981 E-3 )
⇒ Ka = 2.113 E-4
⇒ pKa = - Log ( 2.113 E-4 )
⇒ pKa = 3.675
Answer:
36.8
Explanation:
Because 9.2 x 4 = 36.8
