A 0.50 M solution of a monoprotic acid HA with a pH of 2.24 would be, first, a weak acid, as it does not dissociate fully. This leaves us with an equilibrium expression: HA (aq) <span>⇌ H+ (aq) + A- (aq)
Where A- is the conjugate base of the weak acid.
In a study of equilibrium, we remember that the ka value is the acid dissociation constant, and has the equation:
Ka = (concentration of H+)(concentration of conjugate base)/concentration of acid
We know the concentration of H+ and A- are 10^-2.24 by the definition of a pH being the -log(concentration of H+).
The concentration of the acid has gone down a little bit, as it has partially dissociated into H+ and A-, so we'll have to subtract 10^-2.24 from 0.50 for the concentration of the acid to account for the dissociation.
The final equation would then become:
[H+]*[A-]/[HA] = Ka
(10^-2.24) * (10^-2.24) / (0.50 - 10^-2.24) = Ka
(3.31 * 10^-5) / (0.494) = Ka
Ka = 6.70 * 10^-5</span>

Answer:
<h3>The answer is 3.66 mL</h3>
Explanation:
The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula
![volume = \frac{mass}{density} \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=volume%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7Bmass%7D%7Bdensity%7D%20%5C%5C)
From the question
mass = 38.4 g
density = 10.5 g/cm³
We have
![volume = \frac{38.4}{10.5} \\ = 3.6571428...](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=volume%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B38.4%7D%7B10.5%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%3D%203.6571428...)
We have the final answer as
<h3>3.66 mL</h3>
