pH = 0.5 pKa + 0.5 pCa
0.5 pCa = pH - 0.5 pKa
              = 4.2 - (0.5 * (-log 1.34 x 10⁻⁵)) = 1.76
pCa = 3.53
Ca = antilog - 3.52 = 3 x 10⁻⁴ 
where Ca is the acid concentration

How is the pH of an acidic substance raised?
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

An acid is a substance that produces excess hydroxonium ions in solution.

An acid based on the pH scale is a substance that has a low pH. Acid lies within a range of 1-7 on the pH scale.

  • A pH of 7 is for neutral compounds like water.
  • A pH greater that 7 is for basic compounds.
  • In order to raise the pH, we are driving at a substance becoming more neutral or basic.

This can be achieved by adding more base to the solution of the substance. When we add more base, hydroxyl ions will neutralize the excess hydroxonium ions and drag the pH towards that of neutrality.

Addition of more base can eventually make the substance basic.

1. If I have 45 L of He in a balloon at 25 degrees celsius and increase the temperature of the
Greeley [361]

Use Charles' Law: V1/T1 = V2/T2. We assume the pressure and mass of the helium is constant. The units for temperature must be in Kelvin to use this equation (x °C = x + 273.15 K).

We want to solve for the new volume after the temperature is increased from 25 °C (298.15 K) to 55 °C (328.15 K). Since the volume and temperature of a gas at a constant pressure are directly proportional to each other, we should expect the new volume of the balloon to be greater than the initial 45 L.

Rearranging Charles' Law to solve for V2, we get V2 = V1T2/T1.  

(45 L)(328.15 K)/(298.15 K) = 49.5 ≈ 50 L (if we're considering sig figs).

A sample of nitrogen gas is collected over water at temperature of 20.0˚C. What is the pressure of the nitrogen gas if atmospher
Levart [38]

Answer:

P_N=0.987atm

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for these problems about collecting a gas over water, we must keep in mind that once the gas has been collected, the total pressure of the system is given by the atmospheric pressure, in this case 1.01 atm. Next, since we also have water in the mixture, we can write the following equation:

P_T=P_w+P_N

Thus, by solving for the pressure of nitrogen and using consistent units, we obtain:

1.01atm=17.5torr*\frac{1atm}{760torr} +P_N\\\\P_N=1.01atm-0.023atm\\\\P_N=0.987atm

3)<br>0.09 moles of sodium sulfate in 12 mL of solution.<br>​
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

7.5 M

Explanation:

In order to find a solution's molar concentration, or molarity, you need to determine how many moles of solute, which in your case is sodium sulfate,  

Na

2

SO

4

, you get in one liter of solution.

That is how molarity was defined -- the number of moles of solute in one liter of solution.

So, you know that you have  

0.090

moles of solute in  

12 mL

of solution. Your goal here will be to scale up this solution by using this information as a conversion factor to help you determine the number of moles of solute present in
