Explanation / Answer

3)

pH of [OH-] = 3.3*10^-5

pOH = -log(OH) = -log(3.3*10^-5) = 4.48

pH = 14- pOH = 14-4.48 = 9.52

b)

Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]

[H+] = 10^-pH = 10^-3.1 = 0.00079432823

% ion = [H+]/ M *100

M = [H+] / % *100 = 0.00079432823 / 0.36*100 = 0.22064

then

Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]

Ka = (0.00079432823 )(0.00079432823 /(0.22064-0.00079432823)

Ka = 0.00000287
