Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, for a concentration of 0.42 M of benzoic acid whose Ka is 6.3x10⁻⁵ in 0.33 M sodium benzoate, we use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation to compute the required pH:
![pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpKa%2Blog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D%20%29)
Whereas the concentration of the base is 0.33 M and the concentration of the acid is 0.42 M, thereby, we obtain:
![pH=-log(Ka)+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )\\\\pH=-log(6.3x10^{-5})+log(\frac{0.33M}{0.42M} )\\\\pH=4.1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%28Ka%29%2Blog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D%20%29%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D-log%286.3x10%5E%7B-5%7D%29%2Blog%28%5Cfrac%7B0.33M%7D%7B0.42M%7D%20%29%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D4.1)

Answer:
ionic compounds are made from metal and non mental elements
Explanation:
in this case it is know as an ionic compound because it contains a charge. For example, NaCl is simply a compound as it contains no charges (the charges cancel out as Cl is -1 and Na is +1)
but OH- is an ionic compound as it has a charge if -1 (O has a -2 charge and H has a +1 charge, so -2+1=-1 so OH has -1 charge)
