Chapter 16 Problem 90

Question

It is possible to write simple equations to relate pH, pK, and molarities (M) of various solutions. Three such equations are shown here. Weak acid: Weak base: Salt of weak acid and strong base: (a) Derive these three equations, and point out the assumptions involved in the derivations. (b) Use these equations to determine the pH of 0.10 M 0.10 M and 0.10 M Verify that the equations give correct results by determining these pH values in the usual way.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 16 problem number 90 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: It is possible to write simple equations to relate pH, pK, and molarities (M) of various solutions. Three such equations are shown here. Weak acid: Weak base: Salt of weak acid and strong base: (a) Derive these three equations, and point out the assumptions involved in the derivations. (b) Use these equations to determine the pH of 0.10 M 0.10 M and 0.10 M Verify that the equations give correct results by determining these pH values in the usual way.
From the textbook chapter Acids and Bases you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
