The correct answer is c, it’s evaporating there for it’s a chemical change
We can set up an ICE table for the reaction:
HClO H+ ClO-
Initial 0.0375 0 0
Change -x +x +x
Equilibrium 0.0375-x x x
We calculate [H+] from Ka:
Ka = 3.0x10^-8 = [H+][ClO-]/[HClO] = (x)(x)/(0.0375-x)
Approximating that x is negligible compared to 0.0375 simplifies the equation to
3.0x10^-8 = (x)(x)/0.0375
3.0x10^-8 = x2/0.0375
x2 = (3.0x10^-8)(0.0375) = 1.125x10^-9
x = sqrt(1.125x10^-9) = 0.0000335 = 3.35x10^-5 = [H+]
in which 0.0000335 is indeed negligible compared to 0.0375.
We can now calculate pH:
pH = -log [H+] = - log (3.35 x 10^-5) = 4.47
When dealing with making diluted solutions from concentrated solutions, we can use the following formula
c1v1 = c2v2
where c1 and v1 are the concentration and volume of the concentrated solution respectively.
c2 and v2 are the concentration and volume of the diluted solution respectively
substituting these values in the above formula,
20 mL x 0.200 M = C x 250.0 mL
C = 0.0160 M
I think it’s a carrot . pretty sure
