Question

The pOH of an aqueous solution of 0.553 M hypochlorous acid is The pH of an aqueous solution of 0.265 M potassium fluoride, KF (?. ?Sw Is this solution acidic, basic, or neutral? The pH of an aqueous solution of 0.246 M sodium cyanide, NaCN (ag), is Is this solution acidic, basic, or neutral? Calculate the hydronium ion concentration in an aqueous solution of 1.09x102 M carbonic acid, H2CO3 (ag). Calculate the concentration of HCOs in an aqueous solution of 0.2430 M carbonic acid, H2COs (aa) [HCOs] The hydroxide ion concentration, [OH], of an aqueous solution of 0.553 M hydroxylamine (a weak M. base with the formula NH2OH),Kb-9.1x109, is: OH] M.

Explanation / Answer

         HOCl ----------------> H^+ (aq) + OCl^- (aq)

I           0.553                 0               0

C          -x                      +x             +x

E        0.553-x                 +x             +x

          Ka      =   [H^+][OCl^-]/[HOCl]

           3*10^-8    = x*x/0.553-x

           3*10^-8 *(0.553-x)   =x^2

           x    = 0.000128

      [H^+]    = x = 0.000128M

       [OH^-]     = Kw/{H^+]

                      = 1*10^-14/0.000128    = 7.8*10^-11M

      POH   = -log[OH^-]

               = -log7.8*10^-11

                = 10.1079

    KF (aq) -----------------> K^+ (aq) + F^- (aq)

0.265M                                          0.265M

        F^- (aq) + H2O ----------------> HF + OH^-

I      0.265    0 0

C      -x                                       +x       +x

E      0.265-x                              +x          +x

          Kb    = Kw/Ka

                  = 1*10^-14/6.3*10^-4 = 1.58*10^-11

            Kb     = [HF][OH^-]/[F^-]

          1.58*10^-11    = x*x/0.265-x

          1.58*10^-11 *(0.265-x) = x^2

              x   = 2.05*10^-6

            [OH^-]   = x= 2.05*10^-6M

          POH   = -log[OH^-]

                    = -log2.05*10^-6

                    = 5.6882

             PH =14-POH

                    = 14-5.6882   = 8.3118
