To find pH, you need this formula: pH= -log [H+]

as you can see, we need to find first the concentration of H+.

you find it, we can use the ka value. Ka is the dissociation constant for acid and it can be used to determine the H+ concentration

Ka= (x)^2/ initial concentration

x = [H+], so all we need to do is solve for X. 

ka= 4.6x10-4
initial= 2.0M

so now the formula looks like this:

4.6x10-4= (x)^2/ 2.0

x=0.0303 = [H+]

now that we have the H+ concentration, we can plug it in the pH formula to get our answer

pH= -log (0.0303)= 1.52

Some instant cold packs contain ammonium nitrate and a separate pouch of water. When the pack is activated by squeezing to break
KIM [24]

Answer:

a) Endothermic

b) T₂ = 53.1 ºC

Explanation:

a) We are told that when the ammonium nitrate dissolves in water the pack gets cold so the system is absorbing heat from the surroundings and by definition it  is an endothermic process.

b) Recall that the heat, Q, is given by the formula:

Q = mcΔT    where  m is the mass of water,

                                 c is the specific heat of water, and

                                 ΔT is the change in temperature

We can determine the value for Q since we are given the heat of solution for the ammonium nitrate. From there we can calculate ΔT and finally answer our question.

Molar mass NH₄NO₃ = 80.04 g/mol

moles NH₄NO₃ = 50.0 g/ 80.04 g/mol = 0.62 mol

Q = 25.4 kJ/mol x 0.62 mol = 15.87 kJ = 15.87 kJ x 1000 J = 1.59 x 10⁴ J

Q = mcΔT ⇒ ΔT = Q/mc

ΔT = 1.59 x 10⁴ J/ (135 g x 4.184 J/gºC ) = 28.1 ºC

T₂- T₁ = ΔT ⇒ T₂ = ΔT  + T₁  = 28.1 ºC +25.0 ºC = 53.1 ºC
