Answer:

I <u>think</u> your answer is: C. ("An Arrhenius acid increases [H +] in the solution.")

Explanation:

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions (H + ); that is, an acid increases the concentration of H + ions in an aqueous solution. This causes the protonation of water, or the creation of the hydronium (H 3 O +) ion.

Hopefully this helps!

Have a great day! ^^

Calculate the pH of a solution made by adding 59 g of sodium acetate, NaCH3COO, to 23 g of acetic acid, CH3COOH, and dissolving

Elza [17]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Calculate the pH of a solution made by adding 59 g of sodium acetate, NaCH₃COO, to 23 g of acetic acid, CH₃COOH, and dissolving in water to make 400. mL of solution. Hint given in feedback. The Ka for CH₃COOH is 1.8 x 10⁻⁵ M. As usual, report pH to 2 decimal places.

Answer : The pH of the solution is, 4.97

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of CH₃COOH and NaCH₃COO

$\text{Moles of }CH_3COOH=\frac{\text{Given mass }CH_3COOH}{\text{Molar mass }CH_3COOH}=\frac{23g}{60g/mol}=0.383mol$

and,

$\text{Moles of }CH_3COONa=\frac{\text{Given mass }CH_3COONa}{\text{Molar mass }CH_3COOH}=\frac{59g}{82g/mol}=0.719mol$

Now we have to calculate the value of $pK_a$ .

The expression used for the calculation of $pK_a$ is,

$pK_a=-\log (K_a)$

Now put the value of $K_a$ in this expression, we get:

$pK_a=-\log (1.8\times 10^{-5})$

$pK_a=5-\log (1.8)$

$pK_a=4.7$

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}$

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[CH_3COONa]}{[CH_3COOH]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$pH=4.7+\log (\frac{0.719}{0.383})$

(As the volume is same. So, we can write concentration in terms of moles.)

$pH=4.97$

Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 4.97

An alcohol thermometer makes use of alcohol's changing in order to measure temperature. As the temperature goes up.

kotegsom [21]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An alcohol thermometer makes use of alcohol's changing _______ in order to measure temperature. As the temperature goes up, the alcohol contained in the thermometer increases in volume, filling more of the thermometer's tube.

mass

state

chemical composition

density

Answer:

density

Explanation:

Every kind of thermometer makes use of a change in a particular physical property of a substance as a measure of temperature. It must be a property that changes with temperature.

Density of a substance changes with temperature. Even though the mass of alcohol in glass remains constant, but its volume increases or decreases with change in temperature leading to a change in volume and consequently a change in density of the alcohol in glass. This change is used as a measure of the change in temperature.
