Answer:
pH =3.8
Explanation:
Lets call the monoprotic weak acid HA, the dissociation equilibria in water will be:
HA + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + A⁻ with Ka = [ H₃O⁺] x [A⁻]/ [HA]
The pH is the negative log of the H₃O⁺ concentration, we know the equilibrium constant, Ka and the original acid concentration. So we will need to find the [H₃O⁺] to solve this question.
In order to do that lets set up the ICE table helper which accounts for the species at equilibrium:
HA H₃O⁺ A⁻
Initial, M 0.40 0 0
Change , M -x +x +x
Equilibrium, M 0.40 - x x x
Lets express these concentrations in terms of the equilibrium constant:
Ka = x² / (0.40 - x )
Now the equilibrium constant is so small ( very little dissociation of HA ) that is safe to approximate 0.40 - x to 0.40,
7.3 x 10⁻⁶ = x² / 0.40 ⇒ x = √( 7.3 x 10⁻⁶ x 0.40 ) = 1.71 x 10⁻³
[H₃O⁺] = 1.71 x 10⁻³
Indeed 1.71 x 10⁻³ is small compared to 0.40 (0.4 %). To be a good approximation our value should be less or equal to 5 %.
pH = - log ( 1.71 x 10⁻³ ) = 3.8
Note: when the aprroximation is greater than 5 % we will need to solve the resulting quadratic equation.
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, when we want to balance chemical reactions such as in this case, the idea is to equal to number of atoms of each element at each side of the equation according to the lay of conservation of mass, just as shown below:
Because we have four phosphorous and ten oxygen atoms at each side.
Best regards!

Answer:
sample B contains the larger density
Explanation:
Given;
volume of sample A, V = 300 mL = 0.3 L
Molarity of sample A, C = 1 M
volume of sample B, V = 145 mL = 0.145 L
Molarity of sample B, C = 1.5 M
molecular mass of sodium chloride, Nacl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol
Molarity is given as;
The reacting mass for sample A = 0.3mol x 58.5 g/mol = 17.55 g
The reacting mass for sample B = 0.2175 mol x 58.5 g/mol = 12.72 g
The density of sample A 
The density of sample B 
Therefore, sample B contains the larger density
