pH of 0.048 M HClO is 4.35.
<u>Explanation:</u>
HClO is a weak acid and it is dissociated as,
HClO ⇄ H⁺ + ClO⁻
We can write the equilibrium expression as,
Ka =
Ka = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M
4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M =
Now we can find x by rewriting the equation as,
x² = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ × 0.048
= 1.92 × 10⁻⁹
Taking sqrt on both sides, we will get,
x = [H⁺] = 4.38 × 10⁻⁵
pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]
= - log₁₀[ 4.38 × 10⁻⁵]
= 4.35
Answer: Therefore, the volume of a 0.155 M potassium hydroxide solution is 56.0 ml
Explanation:
Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.
According to the neutralization law,
where,
= molarity of
solution = 0.338 M
= volume of
solution = 25.7 ml
= molarity of
solution = 0.155 M
= volume of
solution = ?
= valency of
= 1
= valency of
= 1
Therefore, the volume of a 0.155 M potassium hydroxide solution is 56.0 ml
