Answer:

pH = 3.02

Explanation:

Acetic Acid is a weak acid (HOAc) that ionizes only ~1.5% as follows:

HOAc ⇄ H⁺ + OAc⁻.

In pure water the hydronium ion concentration [H⁺] equals the acetate ion concentration [OAc⁻] and can be determined* using the formula [H⁺] = [OAc⁻] = SqrRt(Ka·[acid]) = SqrRt(1.8x10⁻⁵ x 0.0500)M = 9.5x10⁻⁴M.

By definition, pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(9.5x10⁻⁴) = 3.02

______________________________________________________

*This formula can be used to determine the [H⁺] & [Anion⁻] concentrations for any weak acid in pure water given its Ka-value and the molar concentration of acid in solution.

At the end of the reaction you washed the chemicals into a beaker using water. Why was it OK to use water to do this if Grignard
lesya692 [45]

Answer: water could be used to wash it since the reaction has ended.

Explanation:

There will be no reaction of water with the Grignard reagent since the reaction has ended, as it is well known that water is a universal solvent for washing of glasswares after experiments but if it is during the reaction it will be more advisable to rinse with alcohol to enhance more accuracy during the experiment

72.6g
The density formula is density equal mass divided by volume (d=m/v) to solve this you must get the mass by itself. You do this by multiply volume on both sides which then gets you density times volume equal mass. Then you can plug in the numbers which is 1.20g/mL x 60.5 mL the mL cancels out which leaves you with grams and thus you have 72.6g.
