What is the ph of a solution that has 0.075 m ch3cooh and 0.050m nach3coo present? ka for acetic acid = 1.80 x 10-5?

1 answer:

Hello!

For solving this problem we first have to determine the pKa of CH₃COOH.

$pKa=-log(Ka)=-log( 1,80*10^{-5} )=4,74$

Now, we use the Henderson-Hasselbach's equation to determine the pH of the buffer solution:

$pH=pKa+log (\frac{NaCH_3COO}{CH_3COOH} )=4,74+log( \frac{0,050M}{0,075M} )=4,56$

So, the pH of this solution is 4,56

Have a nice day!

Liquid A is known to have a lower surface tension and lower viscosity than Liquid B. Use these facts to predict the result of be

Korvikt [17]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Surface tension is defined as the attractive forces experienced by the surface molecules of a liquid by the molecules present beneath the surface layer of the liquid.

And, viscosity is defined as the ability of a liquid to resist its flow. When a substance has high viscosity then it is known as a viscous substance.

Since, it is given that viscosity of liquid B is more than liquid A. Therefore, liquid B has more resistive force on its surface as compared to liquid A. As a result, time taken by liquid B is more than time taken by liquid A.

Also, Surface tension = $\frac{Force}{Length}$
