NaOH is a strong base and complete dissociation into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions.
Therefore [NaOH] = [OH⁻]
To calculate the [OH⁻], we can first find the pOH as NaOH is a basic solution.
pH + pOH = 14
Since pH = 11.50
pOH = 14 - 11.50
pOH = 2.50
We can calculate [OH⁻] by knowing pOH
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)
[OH⁻] = 3.2 x 10⁻³ M
therefore [NaOH] = 3.2 x 10⁻³ M
PH = -log([H+])
[H+] = 10^(-pH)
[H+] = 10^(-9)
[H+][OH-] = Kw
Kw = 1.0*10^-14 at 25 degrees celsius.
[OH-] = Kw/[H+] = (1.0*10^-14)/(1*10^-9) = 1.0*10^-5
The concentration of OH- ions is 1.0*10^-5 M.
Answer:
Is this math? Cause as a fourth grader, I can do Algebra, but not this.
Explanation:
Answer:
C. CH3COOH, Ka = 1.8 E-5
Explanation:
analyzing the pKa of the given acids:
∴ pKa = - Log Ka
A. pKa = - Log (1.0 E-3 ) = 3
B. pKa = - Log (2.9 E-4) = 3.54
C. pKa = - Log (1.8 E-5) = 4.745
D. pKa = - Log (4.0 E-6) = 5.397
E. pKa = - Log (2.3 E-9) = 8.638
We choose the (C) acid since its pKa close to the expected pH.
⇒ For a buffer solution formed from an acid and its respective salt, we have the equation Henderson-Hausselbach (H-H):
- pH = pKa + Log ([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH])
∴ pH = 4.5
∴ pKa = 4.745
⇒ 4.5 = 4.745 + Log ([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH])
⇒ - 0.245 = Log ([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH])
⇒ 0.5692 = [CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH]
∴ Ka = 1.8 E-5 = ([H3O+].[CH3COO-])/[CH3COOH]
⇒ 1.8 E-5 = [H3O+](0.5692)
⇒ [H3O+] = 3.1623 E-5 M
⇒ pH = - Log ( 3.1623 E-5 ) = 4.5
