Answer
pH=8.5414
Procedure
The Henderson–Hasselbalch equation relates the pH of a chemical solution of a weak acid to the numerical value of the acid dissociation constant, Kₐ. In this equation, [HA] and [A⁻] refer to the equilibrium concentrations of the conjugate acid-base pair used to create the buffer solution.
pH = pKa + log₁₀ ([A⁻] / [HA])
Where
pH = acidity of a buffer solution
pKa = negative logarithm of Ka
Ka =acid disassociation constant
[HA]= concentration of an acid
[A⁻]= concentration of conjugate base
First, calculate the pKa
pKa=-log₁₀(Ka)= 8.6383
Then use the equation to get the pH (in this case the acid is HBrO)
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.
Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation. They are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.
The chemical equation for the reaction of sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid is given as:
Ionic form of the above equation follows:
As, sodium and acetate ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.
The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:
Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
