How might you explain the difference between the pH values of the 0.01 M HCl (pH = 1.1) and the 0.01 M HC2H3O2 (pH = 3.6)?

Answer: HCI dissociates more

Hope this helps :)

The difference is due to the degree of dissociation of the substances. HCl dissociates completely into ions when added to water, while this is not the case for HC₂H₃O₂; therefore, HCl has a lower pH.

A 3.0 L solution contains 73.5 g of H2SO4. Calculate the molar concentration of the solution.

$C_{m}=\frac{m}{MV}=\frac{73,5g}{98\frac{g}{mol}*3L}=0,25M\\\\
C_{1}V_{1}=C_{2}V_{2}\\\\
0,25M*3L=0,18M*V_{2}\\\\
V_{2}=\frac{0,25M*3L}{0,18M}\approx 4,17L\\\\
4,17L-3L=1,17L$
