Distilled water has the a neutral ph. Pure water always has a ph of 7.
the reaction is
2NO(g) + 2H2(g) <—> N2(g) + 2H2O (g)
Kc = [N2] [ H2O]^2 / [NO]^2 [ H2]^2
Given
moles of NO = 0.124 therefore [NO] = moles /volume = 0.124 /2 = 0.062
moles of H2 = 0.0240 , therefore [H2] = moles / volume = 0.0240 / 2 = 0.012
moles of N2 = 0.0380 , therefore [N2] = moles / volume = 0.0380 / 2 = 0.019
moles of H2O = 0.0276 , therefore [H2O] = moles / volume = 0.0276 / 2 = 0.0138
Kc = (0.019) ( 0.0138)^2 / (0.062)^2 ( 0.012)^2 = 6.54
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation on the solution before HCl addition: pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]) 8.0 = 7.4 + log([A-]/[HA]); [A-]/[HA] = 4.0. (equation 1) Also, 0.1 L * 1.0 mol/L = 0.1 moles total of the compound. Therefore, [A-] + [HA] = 0.1 (equation 2) Solving the simultaneous equations 1 and 2 gives: A- = 0.08 moles AH = 0.02 moles Adding strong acid reduces A- and increases AH by the same amount. 0.03 L * 1 mol/L = 0.03 moles HCl will be added, soA- = 0.08 - 0.03 = 0.05 moles AH = 0.02 + 0.03 = 0.05 moles Therefore, after HCl addition, [A-]/[HA] = 0.05 / 0.05 = 1.0 Resubstituting into the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: pH = 7.4 + log(1.0) = 7.4, the final pH.
Answer:
(a)

(b)

Explanation:
Hello,
(a) In this case, as the reaction is second-ordered, one uses the following kinetic equation to compute the concentration of NOBr after 22 seconds:
![\frac{1}{[NOBr]}=kt +\frac{1}{[NOBr]_0}\\\frac{1}{[NOBr]}=\frac{0.8}{M*s}*22s+\frac{1}{0.086M}=\frac{29.3}{M}\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BNOBr%5D%7D%3Dkt%20%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BNOBr%5D_0%7D%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BNOBr%5D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B0.8%7D%7BM%2As%7D%2A22s%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B0.086M%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B29.3%7D%7BM%7D%5C%5C)
![[NOBr]=\frac{1}{29.2/M}=0.0342M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BNOBr%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B29.2%2FM%7D%3D0.0342M)
(b) Now, for a second-order reaction, the half-life is computed as shown below:
![t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{k[NOBr]_0}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t_%7B1%2F2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bk%5BNOBr%5D_0%7D)
Therefore, for the given initial concentrations one obtains:

Best regards.
