Answer:
The pH is 4.76 (option C)
Explanation:
pH of a solution = TO BE DETERMNED
[sodium acetate] = 1M ; [acetic acid] = 1M
K = [H+] [A-] / [HA]
K = [H+] [1] / [1]
K = H
pH = pK
⇒ now pH is equal to pK
⇒ The value of pK is given which is 4.76
⇒ This means the value of the pH is also 4.76
Answer:
0.0342 moles
Explanation:
Moles and Mass are related as,
Moles = Mass / M.Mass
M.Mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol
Putting values,
Moles = 2.00 g / 58.44 g/mol
Moles = 0.0342 moles
Realize that pH + pOH = 14
so, 9 + pOH = 14 -> pOH = 5
pOH = -log[OH-]
5 = -log[OH-]
plug it into a calculator and you get 1.0 x 10^-5
alternatively, use [OH-] = 10^-pOH to get the same answer
[OH-] = 1.0 x 10^-5
You add the protons of each atom together. The fact that it is an ionic compound shouldn't bother you at all.
