Answer:
a) pH = 4.213
b) % dis = 2 %
Explanation:
Ch3COONa → CH3COO- + Na+
CH3COOH ↔ CH3COO- + H3O+
∴ Ka = 1.8 E-5 = ([ CH3COO- ] * [ H3O+ ]) / [ CH3COOH ]
mass balance:
⇒ <em>C</em> CH3COOH + <em>C</em> CH3COONa = [ CH3COOH ] + [ CH3COO- ]
<em>∴ C </em>CH3COOH = 3.40 mM = 3.4 mmol/mL * ( mol/1000mmol)*(1000mL/L)
∴ <em>C</em> CH3COONa = 1.00 M = 1.00 mol/L = 1.00 mmol/mL
⇒ [ CH3COOH ] = 4.4 - [ CH3COO- ]
charge balance:
⇒ [ H3O+ ] + [ Na+ ] = [ CH3COO- ] + [ OH- ]....is negligible [ OH-], comes from water
⇒ [ CH3COO- ] = [ H3O+ ] + 1.00
⇒ Ka = (( [ H3O+ ] + 1 )* [ H3O+ ]) / ( 3.4 - [ H3O+])) = 1.8 E-5
⇒ [ H3O+ ]² + [ H3O+ ] = 6.12 E-5 - 1.8 E-5 [ H3O+ ]
⇒ [ H3O+ ]² + [ H3O+ ] - 6.12 E-5 = 0
⇒ [ H3O+ ] = 6.12 E-5 M
⇒ pH = - Log [ H3O+ ] = 4.213
b) (% dis)* mol acid = <em>C</em> CH3COOH = 3.4
∴ mol CH3COOH = 500*3.4 = 1700 mmol = 1.7 mol
⇒ % dis = 3.4 / 1.7 = 2 %
The correct definition of density is the degree of compactness of a substance.
Supercritical mass results to an increase in the rate of fission. There is a chain reaction that will occur. Nuclear fission or explosion used in atomic bombs relies on supercritical mass. An atom splits into two, with each splitting into two pairs and so on, releasing energy in each step.
