Answer:
The pH is equal to 4.41
Explanation:
Since HClO is a weak acid, its dissociation in aqueous medium is:
HClO ⇄ ClO- + H+
start: 0.05 0 0
change -x +x +x
balance 0.05-x x x
As it is a weak acid it dissociates very little, in its ClO- and H + ions, so the change is negative, where x is a degree of dissociation.
the acidity constant when equilibrium is reached is equal to:
![Ka=\frac{[ClO-]*[H+]}{[HClO]}=\frac{x*x}{0.05-x}=3x10^{-8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ka%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BClO-%5D%2A%5BH%2B%5D%7D%7B%5BHClO%5D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7Bx%2Ax%7D%7B0.05-x%7D%3D3x10%5E%7B-8%7D)
The 0.05-x fraction can be approximated to 0.05, because the ionized fraction (x) is very small, therefore we have:
clearing the x and calculating its value we have:
![x=3.87x10^{-5}=[H+]=[ClO-]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D3.87x10%5E%7B-5%7D%3D%5BH%2B%5D%3D%5BClO-%5D)
the pH can be calculated by:
![pH=-log[H+]=-log[3.87x10^{-5}]=4.41](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%5BH%2B%5D%3D-log%5B3.87x10%5E%7B-5%7D%5D%3D4.41)
2.24 liters is the volume of the gas if pressure is increased to 1000 Torr.
Explanation:
Data given:
Initial volume of the gas V1 = 2.6 liters
Initial pressure of the gas P1 = 860 Torr 1.13 atm
final pressure on the gas P2 = 1000 Torr 1.315 atm
final volume of the gas after pressure change V2 =?
From the data given above, the law used is :
Boyles Law equation:
P1V1 = P2V2
V2 = P1V1/P2
= 1.13 X 2.6/ 1.31
= 2.24 Liters
If the pressure is increased to 1000 Torr or 1.315 atm the volume changes to 2.24 liters. Initially the volume was 2.6 litres and the pressure was 860 torr.
Answer:True
Explanation:
Water is said to be hard when it contains calcium ions or magnesium ions dissolved in it. These ions are able to react with soap in such a way that the soap is prevented from forming lather with the water. Hard water occurs when water passes over calcium or magnesium bearing minerals and dissolves some of it. Hardness due to the presence of calcium ions can easily be removed by boiling the water.
