Answer:
3.4
Explanation:
The pH scale is used to express the acidity or basicity of a solution.
- If the pH < 7, the solution is acid.
- If the pH = 7, the solution is neutral.
- If the pH > 7, the solution is basic.
Given the hydronium ion concentration [H₃O⁺] = 3.8 × 10⁻⁴ M, we can calculate the pH using the following expression.
pH = -log [H₃O⁺]
pH = -log 3.8 × 10⁻⁴
pH = 3.4
This solution is acid.
There are two ways to solve this problem. We can use the ICE method which is tedious and lengthy or use the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation. This equation relates pH and the concentration of the ions in the solution. It is expressed as
pH = pKa + log [A]/[HA]
where pKa = - log [Ka]
[A] is the concentration of the conjugate base
[HA] is the concentration of the acid
Given:
Ka = 1.8x10^-5
NaOH added = 0.015 mol
HC2H3O2 = 0.1 mol
NaC2H3O2 = 0.1 mol
Solution:
pKa = - log ( 1.8x10^-5) = 4.74
[A] = 0.015 mol + 0.100 mol = .115 moles
[HA] = .1 - 0.015 = 0.085 moles
pH = 4.74 + log (.115/0.085)
pH = 4.87
I believe the answer is D
Your body now has a static charge. When you touch the metal knob, electrons suddenly move from your body through your fingertips to the metal doorknob as a static discharge.
4CO2 is 4 molecules of CO2. CO2 consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
