Given
5.0% by mass solution of acetic acid
the density of white vinegar is 1.007 g/cm3
Required
pH
Solution
Molarity of solution :
![\tt M=\dfrac{\%mass\times \rho\times 10}{MW~acetic~acid}\\\\M=\dfrac{5\times 1.007\times 10}{60}\\\\M=0.839](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20M%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5C%25mass%5Ctimes%20%5Crho%5Ctimes%2010%7D%7BMW~acetic~acid%7D%5C%5C%5C%5CM%3D%5Cdfrac%7B5%5Ctimes%201.007%5Ctimes%2010%7D%7B60%7D%5C%5C%5C%5CM%3D0.839)
Ka for acetic acid = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵
[H⁺] for weak acid :
![\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{Ka.M}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D%5Csqrt%7BKa.M%7D)
Input the value :
![\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-5}\times 0.839}\\\\(H^+]=0.00388=3.88\times 10^{-3}\\\\pH=3-log~3.88=2.41](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D%5Csqrt%7B1.8%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7D%5Ctimes%200.839%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%28H%5E%2B%5D%3D0.00388%3D3.88%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7D%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D3-log~3.88%3D2.41)
Answer:
Option a is the right one
Explanation:
Redox reactions are defined as the reactions where one element is oxidized (so the oxidation state is increased); and another element is reduced (oxidation state decreases). These changes in the oxidations states are defined by a transference of electrons.
When the oxidation state decrease → reduction → the element gains electrons
When the oxidation state increase → oxidation → the element release electrons
Scientist typically use the international system of measurements, or the metric system. If you mean English as in England, then yes.<span> The United States' system of measurement is not usually used by scientists.</span>
