Answer
pH=8.5414
Procedure
The Henderson–Hasselbalch equation relates the pH of a chemical solution of a weak acid to the numerical value of the acid dissociation constant, Kₐ. In this equation, [HA] and [A⁻] refer to the equilibrium concentrations of the conjugate acid-base pair used to create the buffer solution.
pH = pKa + log₁₀ ([A⁻] / [HA])
Where
pH = acidity of a buffer solution
pKa = negative logarithm of Ka
Ka =acid disassociation constant
[HA]= concentration of an acid
[A⁻]= concentration of conjugate base
First, calculate the pKa
pKa=-log₁₀(Ka)= 8.6383
Then use the equation to get the pH (in this case the acid is HBrO)
Answer:
b) It produces electrical current spontaneously.
Explanation:
Cells capable of converting chemical energy to electrical energy and vice versa are termed Electrochemical cells. There are two types of electrochemical cells viz: Galvanic or Voltaic cells and Electrolytic cells. Voltaic cell is an elctrochemical cell capable of generating electrical energy from the chemical reaction occuring in it.
The voltaic cell uses spontaneous reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions to generate ions in a half cell that causes electric currents to flow. An half cell is a part of the galvanic cell where either oxidation or reduction reaction is taking place. Hence, the spontaneous production of electric currents is true about Voltaic/Galvanic cells.
The redox reaction is
Here
Calcium undergoes reduction, and acts as cathode
Lithium undergoes oxidation and acts as anode
The reduction potential of calcium is -2.87 V
The reduction potential of lithium is - -3.05 V
We know that
Ecell = Ecathode - Eanode
Ecell = -2.87 - (-3.05) = 0.18 V
