Answer:

pH=4.05

Explanation:

C7H6O2  -> C7H6O-  + H+

ka= [C7H6O-] [H+]/[C7H6O2]

During equilibrium

[C7H6O-]= [H+]= x^2

[C7H6O2]=0.12-x

Replace

ka= x^2/0.12-x

6.5 x10^-5= x^2/0.12-x

7.8x10^-6 - 6.5 x10^-5x=x^2

x^2+ 6.5 x10^-5x - 7.8x10^-6

Solution of quadratic equation

x=8.8 x10^-5

pH= -log [H+]= -log 8.8 x10^-5=4.05

The sum of pH and pOH for any aqueous solution equals .
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9, bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14 and neutral solutions have pH equal to 7. Thus the sum of pH and pOH is 14

A chemist has one solu6on that is 40% sulfuric acid and one that is 10% sulfuric acid. How much of each should she use to make 2
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

12 L of 40% sulfuric acid solution and 8 L of 10% sulfuric acid solution are needed to make 20 L of sulfuric acid solution.

Explanation:

For first solution of sulfuric acid :

C₁ = 40% , V₁ = ?

For second solution of sulfuric acid :

C₂ = 10% , V₂ = ?

For the resultant solution of sulfuric acid:

C₃ = 28% , V₃ = 20L

Also,

<u>V₁ + V₂ = V₃ = 20L</u> ......................................(1)

Using

<u>C₁V₁ + C₂V₂ = C₃V₃</u>

<u>40×V₁ + 10×V₂ = 28×20</u>

So,

40V₁ + 10V₂ = 560........................................(2)

Solving 1 and 2 as:

V₂ = 20 - V₁

Applying in 2

40V₁ + 10(20 - V₁)  = 560

40V₁ + 200 - 10V₁ = 560

30V₁ = 360

<u>V₁ = 12 L</u>

So,

<u>V₂ = 20 - V₁ = 8L</u>

<u><em>12 L of 40% sulfuric acid solution and 8 L of 10% sulfuric acid solution are needed to make 20 L of sulfuric acid solution.</em></u>
