Explanation / Answer

2)

pH of a weak acid is given by pH = 1/2(pKa - log C)

pH = 1/2(-log(13*10^-5) - log(0.1))

pH = 2.443

3)

pOH of a weak base is given by pOH = 1/2(pKb - log C)

pOH = 1/2(-log(1.1*10^-8)-log(0.1))

pOH = 4.48

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 4.48 = 9.52

4)

HCl is stron acid so it can dissociates completly into H+ ions and Cl- ions

so concentration of H+ ions from HCl solution = 0.02/1L = 0.02 M

Degree of dissociation x = squre root of ( Ka/C)

Ka = acid dissociation constant

C = concentration of acid

Degree of dissociation x = squre root of(13*10^-5/0.1)

x = 0.0361

so Concentration of H+ ion from HC3H5O2 = 0.0361 * 0.1 = 0.00361

total concentration of H+ ion = 0.02 + 0.00361 = 0.02361

pH = -log(H+)

pH = -log(0.02361)

pH = 1.6269
