Step 1: Using the ICE table, determine the equilibrium concentrations of all the chemical species involved in the dissociation of the monoprotic acid.
Step 2: In the ICE table, the change in concentration is assumed as x.
Step 3: Substitute the equilibrium concentrations in the expression for the acid dissociation constant
Step 4: The value of x can be obtained by solving the expression of
Step 5: The value of x is equal to the concentration of the proton that is dissociated from the acid.
Step 6: The calculated concentration of the proton is used to calculate the

- One half liter (500. mL) of 2.50 M HCl is mixed with 250. mL of 3.75 M HCl. Assuming the total solution volume after mixing is 750. mL, what is the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution? What is its pH?arrow_forwardA solution of sodium cyanide, NaCN, has a pH of 12.10. How many grams of NaCN are in 425 mL of a solution with the same pH?arrow_forwardThe pH of a solution is 2.45. What is the molar concentration of hydronium ions in the solution? The answer should be to the proper number of significant digits.arrow_forward
- The pH reading of a sample of each substance is given. Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration of the substance. (Give your answers in scientific notation, correct to one decimal place.) (a) Spinach: pH = 5.4 [H+] = 3.98107 -6 x 10 M (b) Crackers: pH = 7.2 [H*] = х 10 Marrow_forwardThe pH scale was designed to make it convenient to express hydrogen ion concentrations that are small in aqueous solutions. The definiton of pH is in terms of base 10 logarithms. pH = - log[H*] where [H*] is the hydrogen ion concentration. a. If the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution is 7.26 x 10 mol L, the pH is b. If the pH of a solution is 3.607, the hydrogen ion concentration is mol L.arrow_forwardWhat is the pH of a 0.24 M solution of oxalic acid, H2C204? The Ka1,2 values of oxalic acid are 5.6 x 102 and 5.4 x 10, respectively. pH = Use correct number of significant digits;arrow_forward
- pH = −log[H+] where [H+] is the hydrogen ion concentration, measured in moles per liter. Solutions with a pH-value of less than 7 are acidic; solutions with a pH-value of greater than 7 are basic; solutions with a pH-value of 7 (such as pure water) are neutral. Black coffee has a pH of 5 and pure water has a pH of 7. Compare the pH of each and determine how much more acidic black coffee is than pure water.arrow_forwardWhich describes a solution whose [H3O]* concentration is 3.72 x 105 M? acidic solution, pH = 4.429 O basic solution, pH= 9.571 Oacidic solution, pH = 9.571 Obasic solution, pH = 4.429 %3Darrow_forwardThe compound methylamine is a weak base like ammonia. A solution contains 0.199 M CH;NH3* and 0.117 M methylamine, CH3NH2. The pH of this solution isarrow_forward
- The concentration of hydronium ion in a sample of a solution is 4.5 x 10-3 mol/L. What is the pH of this solution? The answer should be to the proper number of significant digitsarrow_forwardThe acidity of a solution is measured by its pH. If Ht represents the concentration of hydrogen ions (in moles/liter) in the solution, the pH is defined by pH = – log H+ Based on careful measurements and calculations, a chemist examines two solutions and asserts: "The hydrogen ion concentration of Solution A is 158 times greater than the hydrogen ion concentration of Solution B." If the pH of solution B is 3.4, determine the pH of Solution A. Report your answer to one decimal place. Solution A has pH equal to Number (Report to the nearest 0.1)arrow_forwardA 0.150 mol · L 1 solution of a weak base (B) has a pH of 11.28. Part A Based on the pH, determine [OH ] at equilibrium for this weak base solution. Express your answer to two significant figures.
