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.

Water has a high specific heat because: Select one: a. it is a poor insulator b. hydrogen bonds must be broken to raise its temp
Crank
<h2>The required "option is b) hydrogen bonds must be broken to raise its temperature.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Water has high specific heat due to hydrogen bonds present in it.
  • The Ionisation of water does not affect the specific heat of the water.
  • On decreasing the temperature, there is the formation of bonds hence option (d) is wrong.
  • On increasing the temperature, there is the breaking of bonds hence option (b) is correct.
