Determine the pH of a 0.048 M hypochlorous acid (HClO) solution. Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid (Ka = 4.0 ✕ 10−8 M).

pH of 0.048 M HClO is 4.35.

<u>Explanation:</u>

HClO is a weak acid and it is dissociated as,

HClO ⇄ H⁺ + ClO⁻

We can write the equilibrium expression as,

Ka = $\frac{[H^{+}] [ClO^{-}]  }{[HClO]}

Ka = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M

4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M = $\frac{x \times x }{0.048}

Now we can find x by rewriting the equation as,

x² =  4.0 × 10⁻⁸ × 0.048

   = 1.92 × 10⁻⁹

Taking sqrt on both sides, we will get,

x = [H⁺] = 4.38 × 10⁻⁵

pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]

     = - log₁₀[ 4.38 × 10⁻⁵]

   = 4.35

How many atoms are present in a sample of Potassium (K) weighing 33.49g?
madam [21]

Answer:

5.158 × 10²³ atoms K

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

33.49 g K

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of K - 39.10 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u />33.49 \ g \ K(\frac{1 \ mol \ K}{39.10 \ g \ K} )(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ K}{1 \ mol \ K} ) = 5.15797 × 10²³ atoms K

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are given 4 sig figs. Follow sig figs and round.</em>

5.15797 × 10²³ atoms K ≈ 5.158 × 10²³ atoms K

Why is the melting of ice a physical change?
yan [13]
<span>A physical change basically involves a change in physical properties. Some examples of physical properties include: texture, shape, size, color, volume, mass, weight, etc. 

The water melting has changed the shape and therefore it's physical properties, but the chemical nature of the water has not been altered.
So that's why it's a physical change, and not a chemical change.</span>
