The first step is to write the balanced equation of the dissociation of the monoprotic weak acid. This can be assumed to have 1:1 stoichiometric relationships, so the equation and ICE chart are given by:

                          HA ---> H^+ + A^-
initial                 0.25       0          0
change               -x         x           x
equilibrium    0.25-x       x           x

This gives an expression for Ka given by:

Ka = (x)^2/(0.25-x) = 5.4x10^-6
x = 1.159x10^-3 = [H+] = [A-]

pH = -log[H+] = -log[1.159x10^-3] = 2.936

The pH of a solution can be calculated from which of the following expressions?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

(c) pH = -log [H^+]

Explanation:

pH defines the acidicity or basicity a solution.

pH also refers to hydrogen ion concentration and it is only applied to aqueous solution.

pH ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral and a pH less than 7 is acidic while a pH higher than basic.

Explanation about the combining powers of element chemistry
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

<em>Valency is the combining power of an element. Elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same valency. The valency of an element is related to how many electrons are in the outer shell. The noble gases have the valency 0 as they do not usually combine with other elements.</em>
