please show steps on how to solve.
Explanation / Answer
2)
we know that
moles = molarity x volume (ml) / 1000
so
moles of HCl0 added = 0.2 x 100 / 1000 = 20 x 10-3
moles of KClO added = 0.3 x 200 / 1000 = 60 x 10-3
now
final volume = 100 + 200 = 300 ml
now
[HCl0] = 20 x 10-3 x 1000 / 300 = 2/30
[KCl0] = 60 x 10-3 x 1000 / 300 = 6/30
we know that
HClO is a weak acid and KClO is salt of its conjugate base
so
they form a buffer solutioon
now
for buffers
pH = pKa + log [KCl0 / HCl0]
also
pKa = -log Ka
so
pH = -log 2.9 x 10-8 + log [ (6/30) / (2/30)]
pH = 7.5376 + log (6/2)
pH = 8.0147
so
the answer is A) 8.01
3)
first consider CuCl
CuCl --> Cu+ + Cl-
the solubility product constant is given by
Ksp = [Cu+] [Cl-]
1 x 10-6 = [Cu+] [ 0.021]
[Cu+]= 4.762 x 10-5 M
now
consider CuI
CuI --> Cu+ + I-
the solubility product constant is given by
Ksp = [Cu+] [I-]
5.1 x 10-12 = [Cu+] [ 0.017]
[Cu+]= 3 x 10-10 M
so
precipitate of CuCl forms when [Cu+] = 4.762 x 10-5 M
precipitate of CuI starts to form when [Cu+] = 3 x 10-10 M
so
CuI is the first one to precipitate
so
the answer is
A) 3 x 10-10 M , CuI
