I really need help on 2 questions i have no clue how to do them i will fan and medal.
Ok first the first one, we need to calculate the ion concentration.
To calculate the pH of an aqueous solution you need to know the concentration of the hydronium ion in moles per liter (molarity). The pH is then calculated using the expression: pH = - log [H3O+]. Wiki
Does this question give us the molarity?
I'm asking @edbf123
Moles/Liters = Molairty, right?
Molarity*
Are you still there?
Do you still need help bud?
hey sorry laptop died
im still confused
Well for the first one
The product of the hydrogen ion concentration and hydroxide ion concentration at 25 degrees celcius is \[[H^{+}][OH^{-}] = 1*10^{-14} \] What you would do is re-arrange your formula and solve for [H] \[\frac{ k_w}{ [OH^{-}] }= \frac{ 1*10^{-14} }{ 1*10^{-11} } = [H^{+}]\] the number you get will be the concentration of your hydrogen ions. Then you take the pH of that which is the -log \[pH = -\log[H^+]\] if the ph greater than 7 it's basic if it's 7 it's neutral less than 7 acidic.
For your second question they are asking for the acid dissociation constant \[[HA,ACID] \rightarrow [A^{-}][H^{+}]\] which is \[K_{a} = \frac{ [H^{+}][A^{-}] }{ [HA] }\]
thank you
