Answer:
Either B or C. Composition or the Distance from the Earth.
Answer:
[Na₂CO₃] = 0.094M
Explanation:
Based on the reaction:
HCO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ↔ CO₃²⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)
It is possible to find pH using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:
pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]
Where [A⁻] is concentration of conjugate base, [CO₃²⁻] = [Na₂CO₃] and [HA] is concentration of weak acid, [NaHCO₃] = 0.20M.
pH is desire pH and pKa (<em>10.00</em>) is -log pka = -log 4.7x10⁻¹¹ = <em>10.33</em>
<em />
Replacing these values:
10.00 = 10.33 + log₁₀ [Na₂CO₃] / [0.20]
<em> [Na₂CO₃] = 0.094M</em>
