Given
5.0% by mass solution of acetic acid
the density of white vinegar is 1.007 g/cm3
Required
pH
Solution
Molarity of solution :
Ka for acetic acid = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵
[H⁺] for weak acid :
![\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{Ka.M}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D%5Csqrt%7BKa.M%7D)
Input the value :
![\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-5}\times 0.839}\\\\(H^+]=0.00388=3.88\times 10^{-3}\\\\pH=3-log~3.88=2.41](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D%5Csqrt%7B1.8%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7D%5Ctimes%200.839%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%28H%5E%2B%5D%3D0.00388%3D3.88%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7D%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D3-log~3.88%3D2.41)
Answer: Magnesium Mg
Explanation:
Oxidization is the process by which a substance either gains oxygen or losses electrons.
The chemical reaction of the above is denoted by,
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) -----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Mg went from a 0 to a +2 state which would mean that it lost electrons.
It was therefore oxidized.
