Calculate the ph of a 0.20 m solution of iodic acid (hio3, ka = 0.17).
saveliy_v [14]
Iodic acid partially dissociates into H+ and IO3- 
Assuming that x is the concentration of H+ at equilibrium, and sine the equation says the same amount of IO3- will  be released as that of H+, its concentration is also X.  The formation of H+ and IO3- results from the loss of HIO3 so its concentration at equilibrium is 0.20 M - x
Ka = [H+] [IO3-] / [HIO3]; 
<span>Initially, [H+] ≈ [IO3-] = 0 and [HIO3] = 0.20; </span>
<span>At equilibrium [H+] ≈ [IO3-] = x and [HIO3] = 0.20 - x; </span>
<span>so 0.17 = x² / (0.20 - x); </span>
<span>Solving for x using the quadratic formula: </span>
<span>x = [H+] = 0.063 M or pH = - log [H+] = 1.2.</span>

Niobium-91 has a half-life of 680 years. After 2,040 years, how much niobium-91 will remain from a 300.0-g sample? 3 g 18.75 g 3
Vadim26 [7]
Amount of Niobium-91 initially
= 300/91 =3.2967mol
2040 years = 3 ×680 = 3 half-lives
therefore, amount left = 0.4121mol
mass of Niobium-91 remaining = 0.4121 ×91 =37.5g
