Chapter 3, Problem 3.39P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Calculate the volume of sulfuric acid which should be added to return the pool to the desired pH.

Concept introduction:

In order to change the pH, sulfuric acid is needed to add to the pool. The amount of acid can be calculated by calculating the concentration difference, to calculate the concentration corresponding each pH, we can use the following equation.

The pH is defined as,

pH=-log[H+]

Where, H+ is the hydrogen concentration in moles per liter.

Lakes have a natural buffering capacity, especially in regions where limestone gives rise to dissolved calcium carbonate. Write an equation for the effect of a small amount of acid rain containing sulfuric acid if it falls into alake containing carbonate (CO3-2 ) ions. Discuss how the lake will resist further pH changes. What happens if a large excess of acid rain is deposited?
You notice that the water in a friend's swimming pool is cloudy and that the pool walls are discolored at the waterline. A quick test shows that the pH of the water is 8.0 when it should be 7.2 The pool is 5 m wide, 12 m long, and has a depth of 2 meters. What volume in mL of 5.00 wt% sulfuric acid (SG = 1.03) should be added to return the pool to the desired pH?
3.134 grams of potassium sorbate (KCH3(CH,)4CO2 ) is fully dissolved in 100.00 mL of water, which is carefully transferred to a conical flask. Then 100.00 mL of 0.240 M HNO, is added dropwise to this solution from a burette. Given: K, (sorbic acid) = 1.7 x 10-5. Showing all your calculations and reasoning, determine the pH of the solution that results after the addition of all the acid mentioned above.
