Answer:

pH = 2.32

Explanation:

H2A + H2O -------> H3O+ + HA-    

Ka2 is very less so i am not considering that dissociation.

now Ka = 8.0×10−5

            = [H3O+] [HA-] / [H2A]

lets concentration of H3O+ = X then above equation will be

8.0×10−5 = [X] [X] / [0.28 -X]

8.0×10−5 = X2 /  [0.28 -X]

X2 + 8.0×10−5 X - 2.24 x 10−5

solve the quardratic equation

X =0.004693 M

pH = -log[H+}

    = -log [0.004693]

    = 2.3285

    ≅2.32

pH = 2.32

Assoli18 [71]
[ H₃O⁺] = 10 ^ - pH

[ H₃O⁺ ] = 10 ^ - 7.30

[ H₃O⁺ ] = 5.011 x 10⁻⁸ M

What are the best practices while sharing a lab balance with other students? Select one or more: Leave a note when you have tare
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

  • Brush off any chemical dust around the balance after each use
  • Alert your TA or instructor about any issues with the balance

Explanation:

The best practices while sharing a lab balance with other students includes alerting your TA or instructor about issues with the balance and Brushing off any chemical dust around the balance after each use. the practices will help to avert/reduce the work hazards associated with working with a balance.

Brushing off any chemical dust after each use will reduce the chemical hazards in the lab while Alerting your instructor about any issues with the balance helps to eliminate mechanical hazards that a faulty balance can pose
