A change of one unit on the pH scale represents a change in the concentration of hydrogen ions by a factor of 10, a change in two units represents a change in the concentration of hydrogen ions by a factor of 100. Thus, small changes in pH represent large changes in the concentrations of hydrogen ions.
Answer is: concentration of hydrogen iodide is 6 M.
Balanced chemical reaction: H₂(g) + I₂(g) ⇄ 2HI(g).
[H₂] = 0.04 M; equilibrium concentration of hydrogen.
[I₂] = 0.009 M; equilibrium concentration of iodine.
Keq = 1·10⁵.
Keq = [HI]² / [H₂]·[I₂].
[HI]² = [H₂]·[I₂]·Keq.
[HI]² = 0.04 M · 0.009 M · 1·10⁵.
[HI]² = 36 M².
[HI] = √36 M².
[HI] = 6 M.
Answer : The value of
of the weak acid is, 4.72
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the moles of KOH.


Now we have to calculate the value of
of the weak acid.
The equilibrium chemical reaction is:

Initial moles 0.25 0.03 0
At eqm. (0.25-0.03) 0.03 0.03
= 0.22
Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :
![pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BSalt%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D)
![pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[HK]}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BHK%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:


Therefore, the value of
of the weak acid is, 4.72
