Answer: 1.67\times 10^{-3}

Explanation:

ClCH_2COOH\rightarrow ClCH_2COO^-+H^+

   cM              0             0

c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Given:  c = 0.15 M

pH = 1.86

K_a = ?

Putting in the values we get:

Also pH=-log[H^+]

1.86=-log[H^+]

[H^+]=0.01

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

0.01=0.15\times \alpha

\alpha=0.06

As [H^+]=[ClCH_2COO^-]=0.01

K_a=\frac{(0.01)^2}{(0.15-0.15\times 0.06)}

K_a=1.67\times 10^{-3]

Thus the vale of K_a for the acid is 1.67\times 10^{-3}

The pOH of a solution is 4.2. Which of the following is true about the solution?
den301095 [7]

Answer:

It is basic and has a pH of 9.8.

Explanation:

pOH = 4.2

we will determine its pH.

pOH + pH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 4.2

pH = 9.8

According to pH scale the the pH lower than 7 is consider acidic while pH of seven is neutral and pH greater than 7 is basic.

The given solution has pH 9.8 it means it is basic.
