The ka of an unknown acid, HYO₂, is determined to be 5 x 10⁻² empirically. What is the pH of a 0.1 M solution of HYO₂?
Over the past 250 years, the average upper-ocean pH near the Pacific Northwest has decreased by about 0.1 units, from about 8.2 to 8.1. This drop in pH corresponds to an increase in acidity of about 30%. When CO2 levels in seawater rise, the availability of carbonate ion, CO32−, This makes it more difficult for marine organisms to build and maintain shells and other body parts from calcium carbonate. Calculate H3O+ and OH− concentrations at pH levels of 8.2 and 8.1. Demonstrate by calculations that this decrease in pH corresponds to an increase in acidity of about 30%. Explain the relationship between the pH of seawater and the availability of carbonate ion. Does the change in pH from 8.2 to 8.1 result in an increase or decrease in the availability of carbonate ion?
At 25°C the value of Kw is 1.0 x 1014. At 60°C the value of Kw is 1.0 x 1013. Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? Explain briefly. Calculate [H3O] and pH in a neutral solution at 60°C. 2H,0 0 H,O* (12)+OH (2)
Aluminum has been implicated as a neurotoxic agent for Alzheimer’s patients and is known as harmful for renal failure patients. In 1985, the medical community recommended that no more than 10 mg/L Al3+ be present in drinking water used for dialysis patients. At what pH is the maximum Al3+ concentration equal to 10 mg/L, assuming that the only source of Al3+ is Al(OH)3? How does this compare with the allowable pH of drinking water of 7.8; would we expect to observe this concentration in drinking water?
The calcium concentration of Lake Mary (a lake in New Hampshire) is 4 x 10-4M. Estimate the pH of this lake? Assume that calcium inputs to this lake are exclusively from calcium carbonate weathering
A chemist must prepare 600.0 mL of hydrobromic acid solution with a pH of 1.60 at 25 °C. He will do this in three steps: • Fill a 600.0 mL volumetric flask about halfway with distilled water. • Measure out a small volume of concentrated (6.0M) stock hydrobromic acid solution and add it to the flask. • Fill the flask to the mark with distilled water. Calculate the volume of concentrated hydrobromic acid that the chemist must measure out in the second step. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. 0₁ mL x10
