Answer:
(3) 5.36
Explanation:
Since this is a titration of a weak acid before reaching equivalence point, we will have effectively a buffer solution. Then we can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to answer this question.
The reaction is:
HAc + NaOH ⇒ NaAc + H₂O
V NaOH = 40 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.040 L
mol NaOH reacted with HAc = 0.040 L x 0.05 mol/L = 0.002 mol
mol HAC originally present = 0.050 L x 0.05 mol/L = 0.0025 mol
mol HAc left after reaction = 0.0025 - 0.002 = 0.0005
Now that we have calculated the quantities of the weak acid and its conjugate base in the buffer, we just plug the values into the equation
pH = pKa + log ((Ac⁻)/(HAc))
(Notice we do not have to calculate the molarities of Ac⁻ and HAc because the volumes cancel in the quotient)
pH = -log (1.75 x 10⁻⁵) + log (0.002/0.0005) = 5.36
THe answer is 5.36
Ionic compound consists of a positively charged ion and a negatively charged anion. For example, NaCl. Na (sodium) is a cation (another word for positively charged ion) and Cl (chloride) is a anion (another way for negatively charged ion.)
Molecular compounds consists of only negatively charged ions. For example Br2I is a compound of 2 elements that are negatively charged.
Unlike ionic compounds, molecular compounds consists of two or more negatively charged elements.
The formula that would represent an ionic compound that is composed of calcium and iodide ions is CaI2
Explanation
Ionic compound CaI₂ is formed when Calcium form cation ( <em>a positively charged ion</em>) by losing 2 electrons while two iodine atoms form anion ( <em>a negatively charged ion</em>) by gaining one electron each.
When writing down formula of ionic compound, the formula of cation is written first followed by anion formula. therefore Ca is written first followed by I.
The numeric subscript 2 after I(iodine) indicate that 2 atoms of iodine are involved in bonding.
