Work:

In your question the "ph" of a 0.55 m aqueous solution of hypobromous acid temperature is at 25 degrees C, and it's "ph" is 4.48.

You would use the ph (4.48) to find the ka for "hbro"

[H+]

10^-4.48

3.31 x 10^-5 M

[BrO-]

or: [H+] = 10^-4.48 = 3.31 x 10^-5 M = [BrO-]

Then you would find ka:

(3.31 x 10^-5)^2/0.55 =2 x 10^-9

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

Determine the pH of an HF solution of each of the following concentrations. In which cases can you not make the simplifying assumption that x is small? ( $K_a$ for HF is $6.8\times 10^{-4}$ .)

[HF] = 0.280 M

Express your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.

Explanation:3

Initial concentration if HF = c = 0.280 M

Dissociation constant of the HF = $K_a=6.8\times 10^{-4}$

$HF\rightleftharpoons H^++F^-$

Initially

c 0 0

At equilibrium :

(c-x) x x

The expression of disassociation constant is given as:

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][F^-]}{[HF]}$

$K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}$

$6.8\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x^2}{(0.280 M-x)}$

Solving for x, we get:

x = 0.01346 M

So, the concentration of hydrogen ion at equilibrium is :

$[H^+]=x=0.01346 M$

The pH of the solution is ;

$pH=-\log[H^+]=-\log[0.01346 M]=1.87$

The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.
