The acid dissociation constant is defined as Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA] where [H+], [A-] and [HA] are the concentrations of protons, conjugate base, and acid in solution respectively. Assuming this is a weak acid as the pH is quite high for a 1.35 M solution, we can assume that the change in [HA] is negligible and therefore [HA] = 1.35 M.
To calculate [H+] we can use the relationship pH = -log[H+], rearranging to give: [H+] = 10^(-pH) = 10^(-2.93) = 1.17 x 10^(-3).
Since the acid is relatively concentrated we can assume therefore that       [H+] = [A-] as for each proton dissociated, a conjugate base is formed.
Therefore, we can calculate Ka as:
Ka = [H+]^2/[HA] = (1.17 x 10^-3 M)^2/1.35 = 1.01 x 10^-6 M

If 2 acid have ph value 3 and 5 respectively, which will be more acidic? Why?​
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

A lower ph is always more acidic, due to the increased concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution/substance.

A ph of 3 is 100 times more acidic than a pH of 5, and this is due to the increments on the scale.

➷ It would be B. An Ion.

Ions aren't found in atoms - it is atoms that can become ions by gaining or losing electrons.

The hall reaction of an oxidation-reduction reaction shows that iron gains electrons. What does this electron gain mean for iron
AnnZ [28]

Answer: Iron gains electrons mean It is reduced

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe

Thus iron gains electrons mean It is reduced
