Considering the definition of pH, the pH of 3.65 grams of HCl dissolved in 1250 mL distilled H₂O is 1.0969.

<h3>Definition of pH</h3>

pH is the Hydrogen Potential. It is a measure of acidity or alkalinity that indicates the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution or substance.

Mathematically, pH is calculated as the negative base 10 logarithm of the activity of hydrogen ions:

pH= - log [H⁺]

The numerical scale that measures the pH of substances includes the numbers from 0 to 14. The pH value 7 corresponds to neutral substances. Acidic substances are those with a pH lower than 7, while basic substances have a pH higher than 7.

<h3>Concentration of HCl</h3>

Molar concentration or molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution and indicates the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution:

$Molarity=\frac{number of moles}{volume}$

In this case, you know:

number of moles= $3.65 grams x\frac{1 mole}{36.45 grams} =$ 0.1 moles (being 36.45 g/mole the molar mass of HCl)
volume= 1250 mL= 1.250 L (being 1000 mL= 1 L)

Replacing in the definition of molarity:

$Molarity=\frac{0.1 moles}{1.250 L}$

Solving:

<u><em>Molarity= 0.08 </em></u> $\frac{moles}{liter}$ <u><em>= 0.08 M</em></u>

<h3>pH of the solution</h3>

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, so in aqueous solution it will be totally dissociated. So the concentration of protons is equal to the initial concentration of acid. This is: [H⁺]= [HCl]= 0.08 M

Replacing in the definition of pH:

pH= - log (0.08 M)

Solving:

Finally, the pH of 3.65 grams of HCl dissolved in 1250 mL distilled H₂O is 1.0969.

Answer:

1. $Rate =k [NO]^{2}[Cl_{2}]$

2. $k= 0.42 \frac{L^{2}}{mol^{2}*s}$

Explanation:

$Rate =k [NO]^{m}[Cl_{2}]^{n}$

$Rate1 = k[0.4]^{m}[0.3]^{n}=0.02\\Rate 2=k [0.8]^{m}[0.3}]^{n}=0.08\\\\\frac{Rate1}{Rate2}=\frac{0.02}{0.08} =\frac{k[0.4]^{m}[0.3]^{n}}{k[0.8]^{m}[0.3]^n}} \\\\\frac{1}{4} =(\frac{1}{2} )^{m},\\m=2$

$Rate3 =k [0.8]^{m}[0.6]^{n}=0.16\\Rate 2= k[0.8]^{m}[0.3}]^{n}=0.08\\\\\frac{Rate3}{Rate2}=\frac{0.16}{0.08} =\frac{k[0.8]^{m}[0.6]^{n}}{k[0.8]^{m}[0.3]^n}} \\\\\frac{2}{1} =(\frac{2}{1} )^{n},\\n=1$

$Rate =k [NO]^{2}[Cl_{2}]^{1}$

$Rate =k [NO]^{2}[Cl_{2}]^{1}\\Rate 1=k [0.4]^{2}[0.3]^{1} =0.02\\k*0.16*0.3=0.02\\k=\frac{0.02}{0.16*0.3}=\frac{1}{8*(\frac{3}{10} )}=\frac{5}{12} = 0.42 \frac{L^{2}}{mol^{2}*s}$
