(a)
Interpretation:
The pH for the given solutions has to be calculated
Concept Information:
Strong base and weak base:
Strong base dissociates into its constituent ions fully. It produces more of hydroxide ions while dissolved in water. Weak bases partially dissociates into its constituent ions.
According to Bronsted-Lowry, strong base is a good proton acceptor whereas weak base is a poor proton acceptor
Since, the ionization of a weak base is incomplete; it is treated in the same way as the ionization of a weak acid.

We will derive the forms of the molecular partition functions for atoms and molecules shortly in class, but the partition function that describes the translational and rotational motion of a homonuclear diatomic molecule is given by Itrans (V,T) = = 2πmkBT h² V grot (T) 4π²IKBT h² Where h is Planck's constant and I is molecular moment of inertia. The overall partition function is qmolec Qtrans qrot. Find the energy, enthalpy, entropy, and Helmholtz free energy for the translational and rotational modes of 1 mole of oxygen molecules and 1 mole of iodine molecules at 50 K and at 300 K and with a volume of 1 m³.
