pH is an important parameter for many reactions to take place in solution and in biological systems. It is related to the concentration of H⁺ ions through the following expression:
pH = 1/[H⁺] = -log [H⁺]
Wanting to know the pH of a solution is equivalent to knowing the amount of hydrogen ions present. But the pH scale is more convenient than the concentration scale because pH usually takes values between 0 and 14.
- When pH < 7 the solution is acid.
- When pH = 7 the solution is neutral (like pure water).
- When pH > 7 the solution is basic.
Answer:
282.7KPa
Explanation:
Step 1:
Data obtained from the question.
Number of mole of (n) = 1.5 mole
Volume (V) = 13L
Temperature (T) = 22°C = 22 + 273°C = 295K
Pressure (P) =..?
Gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol
Step 2:
Determination of the pressure exerted by the gas.
This can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as follow:
PV = nRT
P = nRT /V
P = 1.5 x 0.082 x 295 / 13
P = 2.79atm.
Step 3:
Conversion of 2.79atm to KPa.
This is illustrated below:
1 atm = 101.325KPa
Therefore, 2.79atm = 2.79 x 101.325 = 282.7KPa
Therefore, the pressure exerted by the gas in KPa is 282.7KPa
