How could you safely determine if a base is stronger than an acid?

Combine the two solutions. If the resulting salt is basic, you know the base was stronger. If you end up with an acidic salt, the acid was stronger.

Calculate the pH and fraction of dissociation ( α ) for each of the acetic acid ( CH 3 COOH , p K a = 4.756 ) solutions. A 0.002
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The degree of dissociation of acetic acid is 0.08448.

The pH of the solution is 3.72.

Explanation:

The pK_a=4.756

The value of the dissociation constant = K_a

pK_a=-\log[K_a]

K_a=10^{-4.756}=1.754\times 10^{-5}

Initial concentration of the acetic acid = [HAc] =c = 0.00225

Degree of dissociation = α

HAc\rightleftharpoons H^++Ac^-

Initially

c

At equilibrium ;

(c-cα)                                cα        cα

The expression of dissociation constant is given as:

K_a=\frac{[H^+][Ac^-]}{[HAc]}

1.754\times 10^{-5}=\frac{c\times \alpha \times c\times \alpha}{(c-c\alpha)}

1.754\times 10^{-5}=\frac{c\alpha ^2}{(1-\alpha)}

1.754\times 10^{-5}=\frac{0.00225 \alpha ^2}{(1-\alpha)}

Solving for α:

α = 0.08448

The degree of dissociation of acetic acid is 0.08448.

[H^+]=c\alpha = 0.00225M\times 0.08448=0.0001901 M

The pH of the solution ;

pH=-\log[H^+]

=-\log[0.0001901 M]=3.72

Convert 1.7 Kg to cg
Kipish [7]
To answer this lets first see how much 1 kg is equal to in cg.

1 kg = 100000 cg 

Now lets multiply:-

100000 × 1.7 =  <span>170000
</span>
So, 1.7 kg = <span>170000 cg
</span>
Hope I helped ya!!!
