First, we should get moles acetic acid = molarity * volume
=0.3 M * 0.5 L
= 0.15 mol
then, we should get moles acetate = molarity * volume
= 0.2 M * 0.5L
= 0.1 mol
then, we have to get moles of OH- which added:
moles OH- = molarity * volume
= 1 M * 0.02L
= 0.02 mol
when the reaction equation is:
CH3COOH + OH- → CH3COO- + H2O
moles acetic acid after adding OH- = (0.15-0.02)
= 0.13M
moles acetate after adding OH- = (0.1 + 0.02)
= 0.12 M
Total volume = 0.5 L + 0.02 L= 0.52 L
∴[acetic acid] = moles acetic acid after adding OH- / total volume
= 0.13mol / 0.52L
= 0.25 M
and [acetate ) = 0.12 mol / 0.52L
= 0.23 M
by using H-H equation we can get PH:
PH = Pka + ㏒[salt/acid]
when we have Ka = 1.8 x 10^-5
∴Pka = -㏒Ka
= -㏒ 1.8 x 10^-5
= 4.7
So by substitution:
∴ PH = 4.7 + ㏒[acetate/acetic acid]
= 4.7 + ㏒(0.23/0.25)
= 4.66
I don't know much about this, but probably the reason why your teacher circled 300k is because of what's in the photo below. If you couldn't tell from the photo, its because 300k isn't negative. Anyway this is my guess, based on my limited knowledge.
<span>A full filled atom is more
stable than the half filled atom. This is because it has an equal number of
protons and electrons. The protons cancel out the electrons and thus
giving it a net charge of zero. It cannot be further ionized.</span>
