When you determine the pH of a 0.020 M solution of a weak acid whose Ka = 6.3 x10-5, which calculation lets you determine if x could be negligible? (Which of the following applies?) (6.3x10-5/0.020) < 100   (0.020/6.3x10-5 ) > 100   (0.020/6.3x10-5) < 100   (0.020 x 100) > 100   (6.3x10-5/0.020) > 100

Question

When you determine the pH of a 0.020 M solution of a weak acid whose Ka = 6.3 x10-5, which calculation lets you determine if x could be negligible? (Which of the following applies?)

  1. (6.3x10-5/0.020) < 100

     
  2. (0.020/6.3x10-5 ) > 100

     
  3. (0.020/6.3x10-5) < 100

     
  4. (0.020 x 100) > 100

     
  5. (6.3x10-5/0.020) > 100
