3.Answer the questions in problem 1. (a – e), if the solution is prepared by dissolving 0.001 mole of HAc into 1 L DI water.

4.Answer the questions in problem 1. (a – e), if the solution is prepared by dissolving 0.0005 mole of HAc and 0.0005 mole of NaAc into 1 L DI water.

Explanation / Answer

1) a) HCl (aq) --------> H3O+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)

       pH = -log[H3O+] = - log (0.001) = 3.0

b) H2SO4 (aq) -------------> 2 H+ (aq) + SO42- (aq)

      pH = -log[H3O+] = -log(2*0.005) = -log(0.01) = 2.0

c) KOH (aq) ------------> K+ (aq) + OH- (aq)

pOH = -log[OH-] = -log (0.005) = 2.30

2) a) CH3COONa (aq) ----------> CH3COO- (aq) + Na+ (aq)

b) 0.001 [ CH3COONa] = 0.001 [CH3COO-]

c) [CH3COO-] + [OH-] = [Na+]

d) proton concentration is very less as the resultant solution is basic in nature.

e) pH = 14 - pOH

Where- [OH-] = (Kb*concentration)1/2 = (5.62*10-10* 0.001 )1/2 = 7.49*10-7 M

pOH = -log [OH-] = - log (7.49*10-7) = 6.12

pH = 14-6.12 = 7.9

3) a) AcOH (aq) <------> AcO- (aq) + H+ (aq)

b) [AcO-]total = [AcOH] + [AcO-]

c) [H+] = [AcO-]

d) proton concentration is very less as the resultant solution is basic in nature.

e) [H+] = (Ka*C)1/2 = (1.8*10-5) *(0.001) ]0.5 = 1.34*10-4 M

pH = -log [H+] = 3.87
