The pH of a 10^(-8) molar solution of HCl in water is

Answer»

8
`-8`
Between 7 and 8
Between 6 and 7

Solution :Molar conc. of HCl `= 10^(-8)`.
`:.` PH = 8. But this cannot not be possible as pH of an acidic solution can not be more than 7. So we have to consider `[H^(+)]` coming from `H_(2)O`.
TOTAL `[H^(+)] = [H^(+)]_(HCl) + [H^(+)]_(H_(2)O)`
IONISATION of `H_(2)O : H_(2)O rarr H^(+) + OH^(-)`
`K_(w) = 10^(-14) = [H^(+)][OH^(-)]`
Let x be the conc. of `[H^(+)]` from `H_(2)O` or `[H^(+)] = x [OH^(-)]_(H_(2)O)`
`:. 10^(-14) = (x + 10^(-8))(x)` or `x = 9.5 xx 10^(-8) M`
`:. [H^(+)] = 10^(-8) + 9.5 xx 10^(-8) = 10.5 xx 10^(-8)`
or pH `= -log(10.5 xx 10^(-8)) = 6.98`

The pH of a 0.1 N solution of NH_4 Cl is 5.4. What will the hydrolysis constant? (supposing degree of hydrolysis as very small)

Answer»

`2.42 xx 10^(-10)`
`1.42 xx 10^(-10)`
`1.58 xx 10^(-9)`
`2.82 xx 10^(-9)`

SOLUTION :`NH_4CI `is a saltofstrong acidand WEAKBASE
`[H^+] =CH`
`pH =-log[H^+] =-logCh = 5.4`
`thereforeCh= 3.98 x 10^(-6) `
` thereforeh=( 3.98 xx 10^(-6) )/(0.1 ) = 3.98xx 10^(-5)`
Now `K_h = (h^2)/1-h^(2)= h^2 [ :. h lt LT1,therefore1- h^2~~1]`
`K_h =h^2= ( 3.98 xx 10^(-5))^2 =15.8 xx 10^(10) = 1.58 xx 10^(-9)`

`1 xx 10^(-5)`
`1 xx 10^(-7)`

Solution :`{:(HQ,hArr,H^(+),+,Q),(0.1,,,,),(0.1 - X,,x,,x):}`
`PH = 3, [H^(+)] = 10^(-3), x = 10^(-3)`
`K_(a) = ((x) xx (x))/((0.1 - x)) = ((10^(-3))^(2))/(0.1 - 10^(-3)) ~ (10^(-6))/(0.1) = 10^(-5)`
25964.

The pH of a 0.1 molar solution of the acid HQ is 3. The value of the ionization constant, K_(a) of this acid is :

Answer»

`1xx10^(-7)`
`3xx10^(-7)`
`1xx10^(-3)`
`1xx10^(-5)`

Solution :`{:(,HQ,hArr,H^(+),+,Q^(-)),("Initial conc.",0.1,,0,,0):}`
If x is the degree of IONIZATION
`0.1-x"" x ""x`
Now, pH = 3 or `[H^(+)]=10^(-3) therefore x=10^(-3)`
`K_(a)=(x xx x)/(0.1-x)=((10^(-3))^(2))/(0.1-10^(-3))`
Assuming `0.1-10^(-3)=0.1`
`K_(a)=((10^(-3))^(2))/(0.1)=1xx10^(-5)`
