(a)
Interpretation:
The weakest conjugate base of acid among acids
Concept introduction:
According to Bronsted acid-base theory, an acid is a compound which donates or gives a proton and a base is a compound which accepts a proton. According to this theory, a strong acid is the one which is almost completely dissociated in the solution. Weak acids are dissociated in a lesser amount.

Its conjugate acid, hypochlorous acid (HClO), has a Ka of 3.0 × 10^–8. (a) The undiluted bleach contains roughly 1 M NaClO. Calculate the pH of 1 M NaClO solution. (b) Some applications require extremely diluted bleach solution, such as swimming pools. Suppose the solution in (a) is diluted by 10,000 -fold. Calculate the pH of the diluted solution, and demonstrate that you can still neglect the autoionization of water in your calculation. (c) Suppose the solution in (a) is diluted by 1 million-fold, briefly explain how your approach will be different. Write the equation with [H3O+] as the unknown, but you do not need to solve it.arrow_forward

The strong acid HClaq has a pH value of 1, use the following equation for a strong acid: HClaq à H+aq + Cl-aq and convert the following expression to deduce the hydrogen ion concentration: pH = -log10 [H+] (ii) Use the above expression to deduce the pH of HCl (aq) given the concentration of the acid to be 4.5 mol/dm3 pH =arrow_forward
- Calculate the pH of a solution by dissolving 1.90 g of sodium acetate, CH3COONa, in 71.0 mL of 0.15 M acetic acid, CH3COOH(aq). Assume the volume change upon dissolving the sodium acetate is negligible. Last of CH3COOH is 1.75 x 10^-5arrow_forwardDetermine the pH of 0.082 M ammonia, NH3 (aq) and percent ionization of base.arrow_forwardYou are given two glasses of water that have different temperatures. The temperature of the first glass is at 298 K, while the second glass has a temperature of 303 K. It has been determined that the Kw value for the second glass of water is 1.47 x 10-¹4. Which of the following statements is true? (a) The pH of the room temperature glass is higher, but both glasses have the same acidity. (b) The room temperature glass of water has a higher pH, and is more basic than the other glass of water. (c) Both glasses of water are neutral, so both will have a pH of 7.00. (d) The room temperature water has a lower pH, so is more acidic. (e) The warmer glass of water has a lower pH, and is more acidic than the other glass of water.arrow_forward
