HELP!! b. At the equivalence point, all of the acid has been neutralized by the base. Why does the pH change so

At equivalence there is no more HA and no more NaOH, for this particular reaction. So that means we have a beaker of NaA and H2O. The H2O contributes 1 x 10-7 M hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion. But NaA is completely soluble because group 1 ion compounds are always soluble. So NaA breaks apart in water and it just so happens to be in water. So now NaA is broken up. The Na+ doesn't change the pH but the A- does change the pH. Remember that the A anion is from a weak acid. That means it will easily attract a hydrogen ion if one is available. What do you know? The A anion is in a beaker of H+ ions! So the A- will attract H+ and become HA. When this happens, it leaves OH-, creating a basic solution, as shown below.

The pH of a basic solution is 9.77. What is [OH⁻]?
uysha [10]

The  [OH⁻] of the solution is 5.37×10⁵ M.

<h3 /><h3>What is pOH?</h3>

This is the negative logarithm to base 10 of hydroxy ion [OH⁻] concentration.

To calculate the hydroxy ion [OH⁻] concentration we use the formula below.

Note:

  • pH+pOH = 14
  • pOH = 14-pH
  • pOH = 14-9.77
  • pOH = 4.27

Formula:

  • [OH⁻] = 1/10^{pOH}................. Equation 1

Given:

  • pOH = 4.27

Substitute the value into equation 1

  • [OH⁻] = 1/10^{4.27}
  • [OH⁻]  = 5.37×10⁵

Hence, The [OH⁻] of the solution is 5.37×10⁵ M.

Becky leaves home and rides a distance of 30 km. it took her 2.5 hours. what is her speed
Charra [1.4K]
Becky's speed is her distance travelled which is 30 km divided by her time travelled of 2.5 hours which gives her average speed of 12 km/hour which is a quite good speed if she was say riding a bicycle and which would give her a good aerobic workout.
