Answer to Problem 5QP
Solution:
a)
b)
Explanation of Solution
a)
Summarize the concentration at equilibrium as follows.
Consider
The equilibrium expression for a reaction is written as follows:
Here,
is the concentration of acetate ion,
is the concentration of acetic acid, and
Substitute the value of

b) A solution that is
The acetate ions are formed from sodium acetate on dilution and from acetic acid by ionisation.
The equation for the ionisation of sodium acetate ion is as follows:
Here, acetate ion is formed on dilution in the solution. So, the concentration of the acetate ion from sodium acetate is 0.2 M and the sodium ion further does not take part in the reaction.

- An aqueous solution contains a mixture of 0.0500 M HCOOH (Ka = 1.77 104) and 0.150 M CH3CH2COOH (Ka = 1.34 105). Calculate the pH of this solution. Because both acids are of comparable strength, the H+ contribution from both acids must be considered.arrow_forwardRepeat the description for Question 4, but use a weak acid rather than a strong one.arrow_forwardA student added 1.78g of Ca(OH)2(9) to 0.250 L of 0.200 molL-1 HNO3(aq)- The mixture was carefully stirred until no further reaction occurred. Assuming that the total volume of the solution remains unchanged, calculate the pH of the resulting solution.arrow_forward
