Answer:
1. The pH of 1.0 M trimethyl ammonium (pH = 1.01) is lower than the pH of 0.1 M phenol (5.00).
2. The difference in pH values is 4.95.
Explanation:
1. The pH of a compound can be found using the following equation:
![pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}])](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20pH%20%3D%20-log%28%5BH_%7B3%7DO%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%29%20)
First, we need to find [H₃O⁺] for trimethyl ammonium and for phenol.
<u>Trimethyl ammonium</u>:
We can calculate [H₃O⁺] using the Ka as follows:
(CH₃)₃NH⁺ + H₂O → (CH₃)₃N + H₃O⁺
1.0 - x x x
![Ka = \frac{[(CH_{3})_{3}N][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[(CH_{3})_{3}NH^{+}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ka%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5B%28CH_%7B3%7D%29_%7B3%7DN%5D%5BH_%7B3%7DO%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D%7B%5B%28CH_%7B3%7D%29_%7B3%7DNH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D)
By solving the above equation for x we have:
x = 0.097 = [H₃O⁺]
![pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}]) = -log(0.097) = 1.01](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20pH%20%3D%20-log%28%5BH_%7B3%7DO%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%29%20%3D%20-log%280.097%29%20%3D%201.01%20)
<u>Phenol</u>:
C₆H₅OH + H₂O → C₆H₅O⁻ + H₃O⁺
1.0 - x x x
![Ka = \frac{[C_{6}H_{5}O^{-}][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[C_{6}H_{5}OH]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ka%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BC_%7B6%7DH_%7B5%7DO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%5BH_%7B3%7DO%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BC_%7B6%7DH_%7B5%7DOH%5D%7D)
Solving the above equation for x we have:
x = 9.96x10⁻⁶ = [H₃O⁺]
![pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}]) = -log(9.99 \cdot 10^{-6}) = 5.00](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20pH%20%3D%20-log%28%5BH_%7B3%7DO%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%29%20%3D%20-log%289.99%20%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B-6%7D%29%20%3D%205.00%20)
Hence, the pH of 1.0 M trimethyl ammonium is lower than the pH of 0.1 M phenol.
2. The difference in pH values for the two acids is:
Therefore, the difference in pH values is 4.95.

The concept we are looking for here is electronegativity. This concept is a measure of how strong an atom or element can attract a pair, that is bonding, of electrons to itself.
Fluorine is the element or atom of the greatest electronegativity. Electronegativity would increase as we move left to right of the periodic table.
The element of the group 17 that is most active non metal is fluorine.
The group 17 of the periodic table contains bromine(Br), iodine(I), Chlorine(Cl) and fluorine(F).
Among all the elements of the group 17. Fluorine is the smallest in size.
Because of the small size of fluorine it has the highest electronegativity in group 17.
This high electronegativity makes it a very active non metal. It provides a very high oxidizing power and low dissociation energy to the fluorine atom.
Also because of the very small size the source of attraction between the nucleus and the electrons is very high in floor in atom.
It reacts readily to form oxides and hydroxides.
So, we can conclude here that fluorine is the most active non metal of group 17.
