Wind affects pollution because it moves it, the wind carries the pollution and move it somewhere else
To solve this problem,
we can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation which relates the pH to the measure
of acidity pKa. The equation is given as:<span>
<span>pH = pKa + log ([base]/[acid]) ---> 1</span></span>
Where,
[base] = concentration
of C2H3O2
in molarity or moles
<span>[acid] = concentration of HC2H3O2 in molarity or moles</span>
For the sake of easy calculation, let us assume that:
[base] = 1
[acid] = x
<span>
Therefore using equation 1,
4.24 = 4.74 + log (1 / x)
<span>log (1 / x) = - 0.5
1 / x = 0.6065 </span></span>
x =
1.65<span>
The required ratio of C2H3O2 /HC2H3O2 <span>
is 1:1.65 or 3:5. </span></span>
