What is the pH of a 1.288 M solution of sodium acetate? Ka of acetic acid is 1.8*10^-5. (2 decimal places)

Chemistry

Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The pH of the solution is 9.43

Explanation:

sodium acetate = CH3COONa

after removing the spectator ion Na

CH3COO⁻ + H2O ⇄ CH3COOH + H3O⁺

since sodium acetate is a weak base, it will not react completely with water. Thus a value "x" will be used to make the products.

At equilibrium:

[CH3COO⁻] = 1.288 - x

[CH3COOH] = x

[H3O⁺] = x

Since a base is reacting with H2O, Kb is used at equilibrium: Kb=(1*10^-14)/(1.8*10^-5) = 5.6*10^-10)

Kb = [CH3COOH][H3O⁺]/[CH3COO⁻]

Kb = (x²)/(1.288-x) since the Kb is significantly lower than 1.288 we can make a mathematical assumption that x is significantly lower than 1.288.

5.6*10⁻¹⁰ = x²/1.288

x = [OH⁻] = 2.675*10⁻⁵ M

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = 4.57

pH=14-pOH = 14 - 4.57 = 9.43

Answer:

B and C Reduce Emissions and Least fuel economy

Explanation:

Plug-in electric vehicles are related, fun and practical (also called electric cars or hybrid electric vehicles).  We will reduce emissions and save you even money. EVs deliver more than individual advantages.  EVs will allow the US to have a more diverse range of transportation fuel options.  Last year the US used almost nine billion barrels of oil, of which two-thirds went into shipping.  We are vulnerable to price increases and supply disruptions because of our dependence upon oil. EVs help reduce this threat, as almost all US electricity, including coal, nuclear, natural gas and renewables, is generated from domestic sources.Vehicles can also minimize the CO2 emissions, improve health, and reduce environmental damage that contribute to climate change and smog. Charging your EV for renewable, such as solar or wind, will further reduce these emissions. Link to a calculator on the right to the pollution disparity between the traditional and an EV. Discover how EV reduce pollution and their emissions during their life cycle.

How many grams of oxygen are required too burn 8.8g of c3h8?
hichkok12 [17]
From the balanced equation: 
<span>1mol C3H8 requires 5mol O2 for combustion </span>
<span>Molar mass C3H8 = 44g/mol </span>
<span>8.8g C3H8 = 8.8/44 = 0.2mol C3H8 </span>
<span>This will require 5*0.2 = 1.0mol O2 </span>
<span>Molar mass O2 = 32g/mol </span>
<span>Therefore 32g of O2 required.

What processes contribute water to surface water sources?(science)
GrogVix [38]
Of the many processes involved in the water cycle, the most important are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Although the total amount of water within the cycle remains essentially constant, its distribution among the various processes is continually changing.
