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 : The partial pressure of the in the tank in psia is, 32.6 psia.
Explanation :
As we are given 75 % and 25 %
in terms of volume.
First we have to calculate the moles of and
.
Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of .
Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of the gas.
conversion used : (1 Kpa = 0.145 psia)
Therefore, the partial pressure of the in the tank in psia is, 32.6 psia.
